Features of your vehicle

SRS care

Your Supplemental Restraint System is
virtually maintenance-free. There are no
parts which you can service.
You must have the system serviced
under the following circumstances:
• If an air bag ever inflates, the air bag
must be replaced. Do not try to remove
or discard the air bag by yourself. This
must be done by an authorized Kia
dealer.
• If the air bag warning indicator light
alerts you to a problem, have the air
bag system checked as soon as possi-
ble. Otherwise, your air bag system
may be ineffective.
WARNING
- No modifica-
tion
Do not modify any part of the air
bag system. Modification could
make the air bag system ineffective
or could cause unnecessary
deployment.

WARNING
- No mainte-
nance or repair
• Do not modify your steering
wheel, seat or any other part of
the Supplemental Restraint
System. Modification could make
the system inoperable.
• Do not work on the system's com-
ponents or wiring. This could
cause the air bags to inflate inad-
vertently, possibly seriously injur-
ing someone. Working on the sys-
tem could also disable the sys-
tem so that the air bags would not
deploy in a collision.
• Any work on the SRS system,
such as removing, installing,
repairing, or any work on the
steering wheel must be per-
formed by a qualified Kia techni-
cian. Improper handling of the air
bag system may result in serious
personal injury or death.
When repairing or scrapping the
vehicles
• Repairing steering wheel, instrument
panel, center console or roofs, or
installing car audio around center con-
sole could disable the air bag system.
Have them checked by an authorized
Kia dealer.
• When leaving the vehicle at an autho-
rized Kia dealer, inform the facility that
the vehicle is equipped with air bag
system, and leave the owner's manual
in the vehicle.
• Since air bag system contains explo-
sive chemical substances, contact an
authorized Kia dealer when scrapping
the vehicle.
