Safety features of your vehicle
After complete inflation, the air bag
immediately starts deflating, enabling
the driver to maintain forward visibility
and the ability to steer or operate other
controls.
Passenger's front air bag
OCV031039L
WARNING
Air Bag Obstructions
Do not install or place any accessories
on the steering wheel, instrument panel,
or on the front passenger's panel above
the glove box in a vehicle. Such objects
may become dangerous projectiles if the
air bag deploys.
WARNING
Flying Objects
Do not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door and
the front seat. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles if the side airbag
inflates.
僅 If an air bag deploys, there may be a
loud noise followed by a fine dust
released in the vehicle. These condi-
tions are normal and are not hazard-
ous - 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 aggra-
vate asthma for some persons.
Always wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly with cold water and a mild
4 36
Air bag - advanced supplemental restraint system
soap after an accident in which the air
bags were deployed.
僅 The SRS can function only when EV
button is in the ON position. If the SRS
air bag warning light does not appear,
or continuously remains on after
appearing for about 6 seconds when
EV button is in the ON position after
the vehicle is in the READY mode, or
comes on while driving, the SRS is not
working properly. If this occurs, have
your vehicle immediately inspected by
an authorized Kia dealer.
NOTICE
Before you replace a fuse or disconnect
a battery terminal, change the EV button
to the OFF position. Never remove or
replace the air bag related fuse(s) when
the EV button is in the ON position. Fail-
ure to heed this warning will cause the
SRS air bag warning light to appear.
Occupant Detection System
(ODS)
Your vehicle is equipped with an occu-
pant detection system in the front pas-
senger's seat.
OCV031034
The occupant detection system is
designed to detect the presence of a
properly-seated front passenger and
determine if the passenger's front air
bag should be enabled (may inflate) or
not. Only the front passenger front air
bag is controlled by the Occupant
Detection System.
