Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING
Do not install or place any acces-
sories (drink holder, CD holder,
sticker, etc.) on the front passen-
ger's panel above the glove box in
a vehicle with a passenger's air
bag. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and cause
injury if the passenger's air bag
inflates.
When installing a container of liq-
uid air freshener inside the vehi-
cle, do not place it near the
instrument cluster nor on the
instrument panel surface.
It may become dangerous projec-
tiles and cause injury if the pas-
senger's air bag inflates.
WARNING
If an air bag deploys, there may
be a loud noise followed by a fine
dust released in the vehicle. These
conditions are normal and are not
hazardous - the air bags are
packed in this fine powder. The
dust generated during air bag
deployment may cause skin or
eye irritation as well as aggravate
asthma for some persons. Always
wash all exposed skin areas thor-
oughly with cold water and a mild
soap after an accident in which
the air bags were deployed.
The SRS can function only when
the ignition key is in the ON posi-
Air bag - supplemental restraint system
tion. If the SRS air bag warning
light does not illuminate, or con-
tinuously remains on after illumi-
nating for about 6 seconds when
the ignition key is turned to the
ON position, or after the engine is
started, comes on whilst driving,
the SRS is not working properly. In
this case, have the system
inspected by a professional work-
shop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
Before you replace a fuse or dis-
connect a battery terminal, turn
the ignition switch or ENGINE
START/STOP button to the LOCK
position and remove the ignition
key or turn off the ENGINE
START/STOP button. Never
remove or replace the air bag
related fuse(s) when the ignition
switch or ENGINE START/STOP
button is in the ON position. Fail-
ure to heed this warning will
cause the SRS air bag warning
light to illuminate.
