Knowing your vehicle
WARNING
- Air bags &
seat belts
• Even in vehicles with air bags,
you and your passengers
must always wear the seat
belts provided in order to min-
imize the risk and severity of
injury in the event of a colli-
sion or rollover.
• Always wear your seat belt. It
can help keep you away from
the air bags during heavy
braking just before a collision.
• If occupants are not fastened
or correctly seated, they can-
not be protected, and thus
face serious injury or death.

• Driver's and front passenger's
air bag are designed to inflate
only in certain frontal colli-
sions, and side and curtain air
bags are designed to inflate in
certain side impacts. They will
generally not provide protec-
tion in rear impacts, rollovers,
less severe frontal collisions.
They will not provide protec-
tion from later impacts in a
multi-impact collision.

• If your vehicle has been sub-
jected to flood conditions (e.g.
soaked carpeting/standing
water on the floor of the vehi-
cle, etc.) or if your vehicle has
become flood damaged in any
way, do not attempt to start
the vehicle or put the key in
the ignition before discon-
necting the battery. This may
cause air bag deployment,
which could result in serious
personal injury or death. If
flooded conditions are
jected to your vehicle, before
starting the vehicle, have the
vehicle towed to an authorized
Kia dealer for inspection and
necessary repairs.
