to the OFF position and goes off when
the passenger's front air bag ON/OFF

CAUTION
If the passenger's front air bag
ON/OFF switch malfunctions, the
passenger's front air bag OFF indica‐
tor will not illuminate (the passeng‐
er's front air bag ON indicator comes
on and goes off after approximately
60 seconds) and the passenger's
front air bag will inflate in a frontal
impact even if the passenger's front
air bag ON/OFF switch is set to the
OFF position.
If this occurs, we recommend that
the passenger's front air
ON/OFF switch and the SRS air bag
system be inspected by an author‐
ized Kia dealer.
