• The SRS can function only when
the ignition key is in the ON posi‐
tion. If the SRS air bag warning
light does not illuminate, or contin‐
uously remains on after illuminat‐
ing for about 6 seconds when the
ignition key is turned to the ON
position, or after the engine is
started, comes on while driving,
the SRS is not working properly. In
this case, have the system inspec‐
ted by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service part‐
ner.
• Before you replace a fuse or dis‐
connect a battery terminal, turn
the ignition switch to the LOCK po‐
sition and remove the ignition key.
Never remove or replace the air
bag related fuse(s) when the igni‐
tion switch is in the ON position.
Failure to heed this warning will
cause the SRS air bag warning
light to illuminate.
