Safety features of your vehicle
OBD031052
僅 Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated to one area
and the full force of the impact is not
delivered to the sensors.

SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance free
and so there are no parts you can safely
service by yourself. If the SRS air bag
warning light does not illuminate, or con-
tinuously remains on, have your vehicle
immediately inspected by an authorized
Kia dealer.
Any work on the SRS system, such as
removing, installing, repairing, or any
work on the steering wheel, the front
passenger's panel, front seats and roof
rails must be performed by an autho-
Air bag - advanced supplemental restraint system
rized Kia dealer. Improper handling of
the SRS system may result in serious
personal injury.
For cleaning the air bag pad covers, use
only a soft, dry cloth or one which has
been moistened with plain water. Sol-
vents or cleaners could adversely affect
the air bag covers and proper deploy-
ment of the system.
If components of the air bag system
must be discarded, or if the vehicle must
be scrapped, certain safety precautions
must be observed. An authorized Kia
dealer knows these precautions and can
give you the necessary information. Fail-
ure to follow these precautions and pro-
cedures could increase the risk of
personal injury.
WARNING
Tampering with SRS
Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS
wiring, or other components of the SRS
system.
Doing so could result in the accidental
inflation of the air bags or render the
SRS inoperative.
WARNING
Towing Vehicle
Always have the ignition switch or
ENGINE START/STOP button in the OFF
position when your vehicle is being
towed. The side air bags may inflate if
the vehicle is tilted such as when being
towed because of the rollover sensors in
the vehicle.
