• Do not modify or replace the
front passenger seat. This will
disable the OCS unless a prop-
er Kia replacement seat is used.
• Do not place sharp objects on
the front passenger seat.
These can damage the occu-
pant classification system, if
they puncture the seat cush-
ion.
• Do not install accessory seat
covers on the front seats,
since these will interfere with
proper sensor operation.
✽ NOTICE
• If luggage or other objects are
placed on the front passenger's
seat or if the temperature of the
seat changes while the seat is unoc-
cupied, the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator may blink.
These conditions do not indicate a
problem.
• Do not put heavy objects on the
front passenger's seat. This may
cause front passenger air bag
deployment in the event of an acci-
dent, thus increasing your repair
costs.
Knowing your vehicle
WARNING
- Front passen-
ger seating
• The front seat passenger air
bag is much larger than the
steering wheel air bag and
inflates with considerably
more force. It can seriously
hurt or kill a passenger who is
not in the proper position and
wearing the safety belt proper-
ly. The front passengers
should always move their seat
as far back as practical and sit
back in their seat.
• It is essential that the front
passengers always wear their
safety belts when vehicle is in
motion, even when the vehicle
is moving in a parking lot or
up a driveway into garage.
