Safety features of your vehicle

WARNING - Loose objects

WARNING - Driver respon-

sibility for passengers

WARNING - Driver’s seat

Loose objects in the driver’s foot

area could interfere with the opera-

tion of the foot pedals, possibly

causing an accident. Do not place

anything under the front seats.

• Never attempt to adjust the seat

while the vehicle is moving. This

could result in loss of control,

and an accident causing death,

serious injury, or property dam-

age.

Riding in a vehicle with the seat-

back reclined could lead to serious

or fatal injury in an accident. If a

seat is reclined during an accident,

the occupant’s hips may slide

under the lap portion of the seat

belt applying great force to the

unprotected abdomen. Serious or

fatal internal injuries could result.

The driver must advise the passen-

ger to keep the seatback in an

upright position whenever the vehi-

cle is in motion.

• Do not allow anything to interfere

with the normal position of the

seatback. Storing items against a

seatback or in any other way

interfering with proper locking of

a seatback could result in serious

or fatal injury in a sudden stop or

collision.

WARNING - Uprighting

seat

When you return the seatback to its

upright position, hold the seatback

and return it slowly and be sure

there are no other occupants

around the seat. If the seatback is

returned without being held and

controlled, the back of the seat

could spring forward resulting in

accidental injury to a person struck

by the seatback.

• Always drive and ride with your

seatback upright and the lap por-

tion of the seat belt snug and low

across the hips. This is the best

position to protect you in case of

an accident.

• In order to avoid unnecessary

and perhaps severe air bag

injuries, always sit as far back as

possible from the steering wheel

while maintaining comfortable

control of the vehicle. We recom-

mend that your chest be at least

250 mm (10 inches) away from

the steering wheel.

WARNING - Rear seat-

backs

• When resetting the seatback to

the upright position, make sure it

is securely latched by pushing it

forward and backwards.

• The rear seatback must be

securely latched. If not, passen-

gers and objects could be thrown

forward resulting in serious

injury or death in the event of a

sudden stop or collision.

• To avoid the possibility of burns,

do not remove the carpet in the

cargo area. Emission control

devices beneath this floor gener-

ate high temperatures.

• Luggage and other cargo should

be laid flat in the cargo area. If

objects are large, heavy, or must

be piled, they must be secured.

Under no circumstances should

cargo be piled higher than the

seatbacks. Failure to follow these

warnings could result in serious

injury or death in the event of a

sudden stop, collision or rollover.

Never allow passengers sit on top

of the folded down seatback while

the car is moving as this is not a

proper seating position and no seat

belts are available for use. This

could result in serious injury or

death in case of an accident or sud-

den stop. Objects carried on the

folded down seatback should not

extend higher than the top of the

front seatbacks. Doing this could

allow cargo to slide forward and

cause injury or damage during sud-

den stops.

Do not fold the rear seat, if the dri-

ver's position is not properly set

CAUTION - Rear seat belts

WARNING

When returning the rear seatbacks

to the upright position, remember

to return the rear shoulder belts to

their proper position.

When you return the rear seatback

to its upright position after being

folded down:

Be careful not to damage the seat

belt webbing or buckle. Do not

allow the seat belt webbing or

buckle to get caught or pinched in

the rear seat. Ensure that the seat-

back is completely locked into its

upright position by pushing on the

top of the seatback. Otherwise, in

an accident or sudden stop, the

seat could fold down and allow

cargo enter the passenger com-

partment, which could result in

serious injury or death.

WARNING - Cargo

Cargo should always be secured to

prevent it from being thrown about

the vehicle in a collision and caus-

ing injury to the vehicle occupants.

Do not place objects in the rear

seats, since they cannot be proper-

ly secured and may hit the front

seat occupants in a collision.

RSAE2038

SEAT BELTS

C020100AUN

(Continued)

Seat belt restraint system

• Avoid wearing twisted seat belts.

A twisted belt can't do its job as

well. In a collision, it could even

cut into you. Be sure the belt

webbing is straight and not twist-

ed.

Care should be taken to avoid con-

tamination of the webbing with pol-

ishes, oils and chemicals and par-

ticularly battery acid. Cleaning may

safely be carried out using mild

soap and water. The belt should be

replaced if webbing becomes

frayed, contaminated or damaged.

It is essential to replace the entire

assembly after it has been worn in

a severe impact even if damage to

the assembly is not obvious. Belts

should not be worn with straps

twisted. Each seat belt assembly

must only be used by one occu-

pant; it is dangerous to put a belt

around a child being carried on the

occupant's lap.

WARNING

• For maximum restraint system

protection, the seat belts must

always be used whenever the car

is moving.

• Be careful not to damage the belt

webbing or hardware. If the belt

webbing or hardware is dam-

aged, replace it.

• Seat belts are most effective

when seatbacks are in the

upright position.

• Children age 12 and under must

always be properly restrained in

the rear seat. Never allow chil-

dren to ride in the front passen-

ger seat. If a child over 12 must

be seated in the front seat, he/she

must be properly belted and the

seat should be moved as far back

as possible.

WARNING

Seat belts are designed to bear

upon the bony structure of the

body, and should be worn low

across the front of the pelvis, or the

pelvis, chest and shoulders, as

applicable; wearing the lap section

of the belt across the abdominal

area must be avoided.

• Never wear the shoulder belt

under your arm or behind your

back. An improperly positioned

shoulder belt can cause serious

injuries in a crash. The shoulder

belt should be positioned midway

over your shoulder across your

collarbone.

WARNING

No modifications or additions

should be made by the user which

will either prevent the seat belt

adjusting devices from operating to

remove slack, or prevent the seat

belt assembly from being adjusted

to remove slack.

Seat belts should be adjusted as

firmly as possible, consistent with

comfort, to provide the protection

for which they have been designed.

A slack belt will greatly reduce the

protection afforded to the occu-

pant.

NOTICE

Infant or small child

Seat belt precautions

Small children are best protected from

injury in an accident when properly

restrained in the rear seat by a child

restraint system that meets the require-

ments of the Safety Standards of your

country. Before buying any child

restraint system, make sure that it has a

label certifying that it meets Safety

Standards of your country. The restraint

must be appropriate for your child's

height and weight. Check the label on

the child restraint for this information.

Refer to “Child restraint system” in this

section.

You should be aware of the specific

requirements in your country. Child

and/or infant seats must be properly

placed and installed in the rear seat. For

more information about the use of these

restraints, refer to the “Child restraint sys-

tem” in this section.

WARNING

All occupants of the vehicle must

wear their seat belts at all times.

Seat belts and child restraints

reduce the risk of serious or fatal

injuries for all occupants in the

event of a collision or sudden stop.

Without a seat belt, occupants

could be shifted too close to a

deploying air bag, strike the interior

structure or be thrown from the

vehicle. Properly worn seat belts

greatly reduce these hazards.

WARNING

Every person in your vehicle needs

to be properly restrained at all

times, including infants and chil-

dren. Never hold a child in your

arms or lap when riding in a vehi-

cle. The violent forces created dur-

ing a crash will tear the child from

your arms and throw the child

against the interior. Always use a

child restraint appropriate for your

child's height and weight.

Always follow the precautions

about seat belts, air bags and occu-

pant seating contained in this man-

ual.

3 23

Safety features of your vehicle

C020301ASA

If the shoulder belt portion slightly touch-

es the child’s neck or face, try placing the

child closer to the center of the vehicle. If

the shoulder belt still touches their face

or neck they need to be returned to a

child restraint system.

Larger children

WARNING - Pregnant

women

Children who are too large for child

restraint systems should always occupy

the rear seat and use the available

lap/shoulder belts.The lap portion should

be fastened on the hips and as low as

possible. Check if the belt fits periodical-

ly. A child's squirming could put the belt

out of position. Children are given the

most safety in the event of an accident

when they are restrained by a proper

restraint system in the rear seat. If a larg-

er child (over age 12) must be seated in

the front seat, the child should be secure-

ly restrained by the available lap/shoul-

der belt and the seat should be placed in

the rearmost position. Children age 12

and under should be restrained securely

in the rear seat. NEVER place a child age

12 and under in the front seat. NEVER

place a rear facing child seat in the front

seat of a vehicle.

Pregnant women must never place

the lap portion of the safety belt

over the area of the abdomen

where the fetus is located or above

the abdomen where the belt could

crush the fetus during an impact.

WARNING - Shoulder belts

on small children

• Never allow a shoulder belt be in

contact with a child’s neck or

face while the vehicle is in

motion.

C020303AUN

Injured person

A seat belt should be used when an

injured person is being transported.

When this is necessary, you should con-

sult a physician for recommendations.

• If seat belts are not properly worn

and adjusted on children, there is

a risk of death or serious injury.

C020304AUN

C020302AUN

One person per belt

Pregnant women

Two people (including children) should

never attempt to use a single seat belt.

This could increase the severity of

injuries in case of an accident.

The use of a seat belt is recommended

for pregnant women to lessen the chance

of injury in an accident. When a seat belt

is used, the lap belt portion should be

placed as low and snugly as possible on

the hips, not across the abdomen. For

specific recommendations, consult a

physician.

Do not lie down

Periodic inspection

Care of seat belts

To reduce the chance of injuries in the event

of an accident and to achieve maximum

effectiveness of the restraint system, all pas-

sengers should be sitting up and the front

and rear seats should be in an upright posi-

tion when the car is moving. A seat belt can-

not provide proper protection if the person is

lying down in the rear seat or if the front and

rear seats are in a reclined position.

All seat belts should be inspected peri-

odically for wear or damage of any kind.

Any damaged parts should be replaced

as soon as possible.

Seat belt systems should never be disas-

sembled or modified. In addition, care

should be taken to assure that seat belts

and belt hardware are not damaged by

seat hinges, doors or other abuse.

C020402AUN

Keep belts clean and dry

WARNING

Seat belts should be kept clean and dry.

If belts become dirty, they can be

cleaned by using a mild soap solution

and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong

detergents or abrasives should not be

used because they may damage and

weaken the fabric.

When you return the rear seatback

to its upright position after the rear

seatback has been folded down, be

careful not to damage the seat belt

webbing or buckle. Be sure that the

webbing or buckle does not get

caught or pinched in the rear seat.

A seat belt with damaged webbing

or buckle could possibly fail during

a collision or sudden stop, result-

ing in serious injury. If the webbing

or buckles are damaged, get them

replaced immediately.

WARNING

Riding with a reclined seatback

increases your chance of serious or

fatal injuries in the event of a colli-

sion or sudden stop. The protection

of your restraint system (seat belts

and air bags) is greatly reduced by

reclining your seat. Seat belts must

be snug against your hips and

chest to work properly. The more

the seatback is reclined, the greater

the chance that an occupant's hips

will slide under the lap belt causing

serious internal injuries or the

occupant's neck could strike the

shoulder belt. Drivers and passen-

gers should always sit well back in

their seats, properly belted, and

with the seatbacks upright.

C020403ASA

When to replace seat belts

The entire in-use seat belt assembly or

assemblies should be replaced if the

vehicle has been involved in an accident.

This should be done even if no damage

is visible. Additional questions concern-

ing seat belt operation should be directed

by an authorized KIA dealer.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

C030000BEN

Follow all the instructions provided by the

manufacturer when installing the child

restraint system.

(Continued)

Children riding in the car should sit in the

rear seat and must always be properly

restrained to minimize the risk of injury in

an accident, sudden stop or sudden

maneuver. According to accident statis-

tics, children are safer when properly

restrained in the rear seats than in the

front seat. Larger children not in a child

restraint should use one of the seat belts

provided.

• When the child restraint system

is not in use, store it in the lug-

gage area or fasten it with a seat

belt so that it will not be thrown

forward in the case of a sudden

stop or an accident.

WARNING

• A child restraint system must be

placed in the rear seat. Never

install a child or infant seat on the

front passenger's seat. Should an

accident occur and cause the

passenger-side air bag to deploy,

it could severely injure or kill an

infant or child seated in an infant

or child seat. Thus only use a

child restraint in the rear seat of

your vehicle.

• Children may be seriously injured

or killed by an inflating air bag.

All children, even those too large

for child restraints, must ride in

the rear seat.

You should be aware of the specific

requirements in your country. Child and/or

infant safety seats must be properly

placed and installed in the rear seat. You

must use a commercially available child

restraint system that meets the require-

ments of the Safety Standards of your

country.

• A seat belt or child restraint sys-

tem can become very hot if it is

left in a closed vehicle on a sunny

day, even if the outside tempera-

ture does not feel hot. Be sure to

check the seat cover and buckles

before placing a child there.

Child restraint systems are designed to

be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts

or the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder

belt, or by a tether anchor and/or ISOFIX

anchors (if equipped).

Children could be injured or killed in a

crash if their restraints are not properly

secured. For small children and babies, a

child seat or infant seat must be used.

Before buying a particular child restraint

system, make sure it fits your car seat

and seat belts, and fits your child.

WARNING

To reduce the chance of serious or

fatal injuries:

• Never leave children unattended

in a vehicle – not even for a short

time. The car can heat up very

quickly, resulting in serious

injuries to children inside. Even

very young children may inadver-

tently cause the vehicle to move,

entangle themselves in the win-

dows, or lock themselves or oth-

ers inside the vehicle.

• Never use an infant carrier or a

child safety seat that "hooks"

over a seatback, it may not pro-

vide adequate security in an acci-

dent.

• Children of all ages are safer

when restrained in the rear seat.

A child riding in the front passen-

ger seat can be forcefully struck

by an inflating air bag resulting in

serious or fatal injuries.

• Seat belts can become very hot,

especially when the car is parked

in direct sunlight. Always check

seat belt buckles before fasten-

ing them over a child.

• Always follow the child restraint

system manufacturer’s instruc-

tions for installation and use of

the child restraint.

• Never allow two children, or any

two persons, to use the same

seat belt.

• Always make sure the child seat

is secured properly in the car and

your child is securely restrained

in the child seat.

• Children often squirm and repo-

sition themselves improperly.

Never let a child ride with the

shoulder belt under their arm or

behind their back. Always proper-

ly position and secure children in

the rear seat.

• Never hold a child in your arms or

lap when riding in a vehicle. The

violent forces created during a

crash will tear the child from your

arms and throw the child against

the car’s interior.

• Never allow a child stand-up or

kneel on the seat or floor of a

moving vehicle. During a colli-

sion or sudden stop, the child

can be violently thrown against

the vehicle’s interior, resulting in

serious injury.

• Never put a seat belt over your-

self and a child. During a crash,

the belt could press deep into the

child causing serious internal

injuries.

1SAE3090A

OSA037047

C030104ASA

On each side of the rear seat, between

the cushion and backrest, are located a

pair of ISOFIX anchorage points togeth-

er with a top tether mounting on the tran-

verse trim behind the rear seats. During

the installation, the seat has to be

engaged at the anchorage-points in a

way you can hear it clicking (check by

pulling!) and has to be fixed with the Top

Tether-belt on the belonging point on the

floor behind the rear seats.

• Child restraint anchorages are

designed to withstand only those

loads imposed by correctly fitted

child restraints. Under no circum-

stances are they to be used for

adult seat belts or harnesses or

for attaching other items or

equipment to the vehicle.

Securing a child restraint system

with “ISOFIX” system and “Tether

Anchorage” system (if equipped)

ISOFIX is a standardized method of fit-

ting child seats that eliminates the need

to use the standard adult seat belt to

secure the seat in the vehicle. This

enables a much more secure and posi-

tive location with the added benefit of

easier and quicker installation.

• The tether strap may not work

properly if attached somewhere

other than the correct tether

anchor.

An ISOFIX-seat can only be installed if it

has vehicle-specific approval in accor-

dance with the requirements of ECE-

R44.

3 33

Safety features of your vehicle

To secure the child restraint seat:

The installing and the use of a child-seat

has to be done according to the

installing-manual, which is added to the

ISOFIX-seat.

(Continued)

1. To engage the child restraint seat to

the ISOFIX anchor, insert the child

restraint seat latch into the ISOFIX

anchor. Listen for the audible “click”

sound.

Do not misuse the ISOFIX

anchors by attempting to attach a

child restraint seat in the middle

of the rear seat to the ISOFIX

anchors.

WARNING

When using the vehicle's "ISOFIX"

system to install a child restraint

system in the rear seat, all unused

vehicle rear seat belt metal latch

plates or tabs must be latched

securely in their seat belt buckles

and the seat belt webbing must be

retracted behind the child restraint

to prevent the child from reaching

and taking hold of unretracted seat

belts. Unlatched metal latch plates

or tabs may allow the child to reach

the unretracted seat belts which

may result in strangulation and

serious injury or death to the child

in the child restraint.

In a crash, the child restraint seat

ISOFIX attachments may not be

strong enough to secure the child

restraint seat properly in the cen-

ter of the rear seat and may

break, causing serious injury or

death.

CAUTION

Do not allow the rear seat belt web-

bing to get scratched or pinched by

the ISOFIX-seat latch and ISOFIX

anchor during the installation.

• Do not mount more than one

child restraint to a child restraint

lower anchorage point. The

improper increased load may

cause the anchorage points or

tether anchor to break, causing

serious injury or death.

2. Connect the tether strap hook to the

child restraint hook holder and tighten

to secure the seat. (Refer to the previ-

ous page.)

WARNING

• Do not install a child restraint

seat at the center of the rear seat

using the vehicle's ISOFIX

anchors. The ISOFIX anchors are

only provided for the left and

right outboard rear seating posi-

tions.

• Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIX-com-

patible child restraint seat only to

the appropriate locations shown

in the illustration.

• Always follow the installation and

use instructions provided by the

WARNING

Even in vehicles with air bags, you

and your passengers must always

wear the safety belts provided in

order to minimize the risk and

severity of injury in the event of a

collision or rollover.

* The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ from the illustration.

C040900APA

It is much more likely that you will sim-

ply see the deflated air bags hanging

out of their storage compartments after

the collision.

How does the air bag system

operate

WARNING

• To avoid severe personal injury

or death caused by deploying air

bags in a collision, the driver

should sit as far back from the

steering wheel air bag as possi-

ble (at least 250 mm (10 inches)

away). The front passengers

should always move their seats

as far back as possible and sit

back in their seat.

• Air bags are activated (able to inflate if

necessary) only when the ignition

switch is turned to the ON or START

position.

• In order to help provide protection in a

severe collision, the air bags must

inflate rapidly. The speed of air bag

inflation is a consequence of the

extremely short time in which a collision

occurs and the need to inflate the air

bag between the occupant and the

vehicle structures before the occupant

impacts those structures. This speed of

inflation reduces the risk of serious or

life-threatening injuries in a severe col-

lision and is thus a necessary part of air

bag design.

• Air bags inflate instantly in the event of

a serious frontal or side collision (if

equipped with side impact air bag) in

order to help protect the occupants

from serious physical injury.

• There is no single speed at which the

air bags will inflate.

• Air bags inflate instantly in the

event of collision, and passen-

gers may be injured by the air bag

expansion force if they are not in

proper position.

Generally, air bags are designed to

inflate based upon the severity of a col-

lision and its direction. These two fac-

tors determine whether the sensors

produce an electronic deployment/

inflation signal.

However, air bag inflation can also

cause injuries which can include facial

abrasions, bruises and broken bones

because the inflation speed also caus-

es the air bags to expand with a great

deal of force.

• Air bag inflation may cause

injuries including facial or bodily

abrasions, injuries from broken

glasses or burns.

• Air bag deployment depends on a

number of factors including vehicle

speed, angles of impact and the densi-

ty and stiffness of the vehicles or

objects which your vehicle hits in the

collision. The determining factors are

not limited to those mentioned above.

• There are even circumstances

under which contact with the steer-

ing wheel air bag can cause fatal

injuries, especially if the occupant

is positioned excessively close to

the steering wheel.

• The front air bags will completely

inflate and deflate in an instant.

It is virtually impossible for you to see

the air bags inflate during an accident.

3 37

Safety features of your vehicle

C040902AEN

WARNING

Noise and smoke

When the air bags deploy, the air

bag related parts in the steering

wheel and/or instrument panel

and/or in both sides of the roof rails

above the front and rear doors are

very hot. To prevent injury, do not

touch the air bag storage area’s

internal components immediately

after an air bag has inflated.

When the air bags inflate, they make a

loud noise and they leave smoke and

powder in the air inside of the vehicle.

This is normal and is a result of the igni-

tion of the air bag inflator. After the air

bag inflates, you may feel substantial dis-

comfort in breathing due to the contact of

your chest with both the seat belt and the

air bag, as well as from breathing the

Do not install a child restraint on the

front passenger’s seat.

Though the smoke and powder are non-

toxic, they may cause irritation to the skin

(eyes, nose and throat, etc). If this is the

case, wash and rinse with cold water

immediately and consult a doctor if the

symptom persists.

Never place a rear-facing child restraint

in the front passenger’s seat. If the air

bag deploys, it would impact the rear-fac-

ing child restraint, causing serious or

fatal injury.

In addition, do not place front-facing child

restraints in the front passenger’s seat

either. If the front passenger air bag

inflates, it could cause serious or fatal

injuries to the child.

Air bag warning light

The purpose of the air bag warning light

in your instrument panel is to alert you of

a potential problem with your air bag -

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).

3 39

Safety features of your vehicle

C040100ASA

Driver’s front air bag (1)

The SRSCM continually monitors all

SRS components while the ignition

switch is ON to determine if a crash

impact is severe enough to require air

bag deployment or pre-tensioner seat

belt deployment.

SRS components and functions

The SRS consists of the following com-

ponents:

1. Driver's front air bag module

2. Passenger's front air bag module*

3. Side air bag modules*

The SRS air bag warning light on the

instrument panel will illuminate for about

6 seconds after the ignition switch is

turned to the ON position, after which the

SRS air bag warning light should go out.

4. Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies*

5. Air bag warning light

6. SRS control module (SRSCM)

7. Side impact sensors*

B240B01L

8. Passenger’s front air bag OFF indica-

tor (front passenger's seat only)*

The front air bag modules are located

both in the center of the steering wheel

and in the front passenger's panel above

the glove box. When the SRSCM detects

a sufficiently severe impact to the front of

the vehicle, it will automatically deploy

the front air bags.

WARNING

9. Passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF

switch*

*: if equipped

If any of the following conditions

occurs, this indicates a malfunction

of the SRS. Have an authorized KIA

dealer inspect the air bag system

as soon as possible.

• The light does not turn on briefly

when you turn the ignition ON.

• The light stays on after illuminat-

ing for approximately 6 seconds.

• The light comes on while the

vehicle is in motion.

Upon deployment, tear seams molded

directly into the pad covers will separate

under pressure from the expansion of the

air bags. Further opening of the covers

then allows full inflation of the air bags.

A fully inflated air bag, in combination

with a properly worn seat belt, slows the

driver's or the passenger's forward

motion, reducing the risk of head and

chest injury.

WARNING

• Do not install or place any acces-

sories (drink holder, cassette

holder, sticker, etc.) on the front

passenger's panel above the

glove box in a vehicle with a pas-

senger's air bag. Such objects

may become dangerous projec-

tiles and cause injury if the pas-

senger's air bag inflates.

After complete inflation, the air bag

immediately starts deflating, enabling the

driver to maintain forward visibility and

the ability to steer or operate other con-

trols.

• 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 a dangerous pro-

jectile and cause injury if the pas-

senger's air bag inflates.

• 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

letters "SRS AIR BAG" or “AIR BAG”

embossed on the air bag pad cover in the

steering wheel and the passenger's side

front panel pad above the glove box.

WARNING

To reduce the chance of serious or

fatal injuries and receive the maxi-

mum safety benefit from your

restraint system:

Always use seat belts and child

restraints – every trip, every time,

everyone! Air bags inflate with con-

siderable force and in the blink of

an eye. Seat belts help keep occu-

pants in proper position to obtain

maximum benefit from the air bag.

Even with air bags, improperly and

unbelted occupants can be severe-

ly injured when the air bag inflates.

Always follow the precautions

about seat belts, air bags and occu-

pant safety contained in this manu-

al.

• Never place a child in any child or

booster seat in the front seat.

• ABC – Always Buckle Children in

the back seat. It is the safest

place for children of any age to

ride.

The SRS consists of air bags installed

under the pad covers in the center of the

steering wheel and the passenger's side

front panel above the glove box.

• Front and side air bags can injure

occupants improperly positioned

in the front seats.

• Move your seat as far back as

practical from the front air bags,

while still maintaining control of

the vehicle.

The purpose of the SRS is to provide the

vehicle's driver and/or the front passen-

ger with additional protection than that

offered by the seat belt system alone in

case of a frontal impact of sufficient

severity.

(Continued)

• You and your passengers should

never sit or lean unnecessarily

close to the air bags. Improperly

positioned drivers and passen-

gers can be severely injured by

inflating air bags.

• Never lean against the door or

center console – always sit in an

upright position.

(Continued)

Safety features of your vehicle

(Continued)

• Do not allow a passenger to ride

in the front seat when the pas-

senger’s front air bag OFF indica-

tor is illuminated, because the air

bag will not deploy in the event of

a moderate or severe frontal

crash. (if equipped)

• Air bags can only be used once –

have an authorized KIA dealer

replace the air bag immediately

after deployment.

• A child restraint system must

never be placed in the front seat.

The infant or child could be

severely injured or killed by an air

bag deployment in case of an

accident.

• The SRS is designed to deploy

the front air bags only when an

impact is sufficiently severe and

when the impact angle is less

than 30° from the forward longitu-

dinal axis of the vehicle.

Additionally, the air bags will only

deploy once. Seat belts must be

worn at all times.

• Children age 12 and under must

always be properly restrained in

the rear seat. Never allow chil-

dren to ride in the front passen-

ger seat. If a child over 12 must

be seated in the front seat, he or

she must be properly belted and

the seat should be moved as far

back as possible.

• No objects should be placed over

or near the air bag modules on

the steering wheel, instrument

panel, and the front passenger's

panel above the glove box,

because any such object could

cause harm if the vehicle is in a

crash severe enough to cause

the air bags to deploy.

• Front air bags are not intended to

deploy in side-impact, rear-

impact or rollover crashes. In

addition, front air bags will not

deploy in frontal crashes below

the deployment threshold.

• For maximum safety protection in

all types of crashes, all occu-

pants including the driver should

always wear their seat belts

whether or not an air bag is also

provided at their seating position

to minimize the risk of severe

injury or death in the event of a

crash. Do not sit or lean unneces-

sarily close to the air bag while

the vehicle is in motion.

• Do not tamper with or disconnect

SRS wiring or other components

of the SRS system. Doing so

could result in injury, due to acci-

dental deployment of the air bags

or by rendering the SRS inopera-

tive.

WARNING

• Even though your vehicle is

equipped with the passenger's

front air bag ON/OFF switch, do

not install a child restraint sys-

tem in the front passenger's seat.

A child restraint system must

never be placed in the front seat.

Children who are too large for

child restraint systems should

always occupy the rear seat and

use the available lap/shoulder

belts. Children are given the most

safety in the event of an accident

when they are restrained by a

proper restraint system in the

rear seat.

• The driver is responsible for the

proper position of the passen-

ger’s front air bag ON/OFF switch.

• Deactivate the passenger's front

air bag only when the ignition

switch is switched off, or the mal-

function may occur in the SRS

Control Module.

And there may be a danger that

the driver's and/or front passen-

ger’s and/or side and curtain air

bag may fail to trigger, or not trig-

ger correctly during a collision.

• Never install a rearward facing

child seat on the front passen-

ger's seat unless the passenger's

front air bag has been deactivat-

ed. The infant or child could be

severely injured or killed by an air

bag deployment in case of an

accident.

• The passenger’s front air bag is

much larger than the steering

wheel air bag and inflates with

considerably more force. It can

seriously hurt or kill a passenger

who is not in the proper position

and wearing the seat belt proper-

ly. The front passengers should

always move their seat as far

back as practical and sit back in

their seat.

• It is essential that the front pas-

sengers always wear their seat

belts when vehicle is in motion,

even when the vehicle is moving

in a parking lot or up a driveway

into a garage.

• As soon as the child seat is no

longer needed on the front pas-

senger's seat, reactivate the front

passenger's air bag.

Importantly, children should sit in

a proper child restraint system in

the rear seat.

WARNING

• The side impact air bag is sup-

plemental to the driver's and the

passenger's seat belt systems

and is not a substitute for them.

Therefore your seat belts must be

worn at all times while the vehicle

is in motion. The air bags deploy

only in certain side impact condi-

tions severe enough to cause

significant injury to the vehicle

occupants.

• Do not place any objects over the

air bag or between the air bag

and yourself.

• When a child is seated in the

front passenger’s seat, the child

must be seated in the proper

child restraint system. Make sure

to position the child restraint sys-

tem as far away from the door

side as possible, and secure the

child restraint system in a locked

position.

• Do not place any objects (an

umbrella, bag, etc.) between the

front door and the front seat.

Such objects may become dan-

gerous projectiles and cause

injury if the supplemental side

impact air bag inflates.

• Do not allow the passengers to

lean their heads or bodies onto

doors, put their arms on the

doors, stretch their arms out of

the window, or place objects

between the doors and passen-

gers when they are seated on

seats equipped with side air

bags.

• For best protection from the side

impact air bag system and to

avoid being injured by the

deploying side impact air bag,

both front seat occupants should

sit in an upright position with the

placed on their laps.

• To prevent unexpected deploy-

ment of the side impact air bag

that may result in personal injury,

avoid impact to the side impact

sensor when the ignition switch

is on.

Air bag inflation conditions

Front air bags

Front air bags are designed to inflate in a

frontal collision depending on the intensi-

collision.

Therefore, do not try to perform

maintenance on or around the air

bag sensors. Have the vehicle

checked and repaired by an

authorized KIA dealer.

3 51

Safety features of your vehicle

Although the front air bags (driver’s and

front passenger’s air bags) are designed

to inflate only in frontal collisions, they

also may inflate in other types of colli-

sions if the front impact sensors detect a

sufficient impact. Side impact air bags

are designed to inflate only in side impact

collisions, but they may inflate in other

collisions if the side impact sensors

detect a sufficient impact.

If the vehicle chassis is impacted by

bumps or objects on unimproved roads,

the air bags may deploy. Drive carefully

on unimproved roads or on surfaces not

designed for vehicle traffic to prevent

unintended air bag deployment.

• Frontal air bags are not designed to

inflate in rear collisions, because occu-

pants are moved backward by the

force of the impact. In this case, inflat-

ed air bags would not be able to pro-

vide any additional benefit.

• Front air bags may not inflate in side

impact collisions, because occupants

move to the direction of the collision,

and thus in side impacts, frontal air bag

deployment would not provide addi-

tional occupant protection.

• In an angled collision, the force of

impact may direct the occupants in a

direction where the air bags would not

be able to provide any additional bene-

fit, and thus the sensors may not

deploy any air bags.

However, side impact air bags may

inflate depending on the intensity, vehi-

cle speed and angles of impact.

OSA038122

• Just before impact, drivers often brake

heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the

front portion of the vehicle causing it to

“ride” under a vehicle with a higher

ground clearance. Air bags may not

inflate in this "under-ride" situation

because deceleration forces that are

detected by sensors may be signifi-

cantly reduced by such “under-ride”

collisions.

• Air bags may not inflate in rollover acci-

dents because air bag deployment

would not provide protection to the

occupants.

• 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 deliv-

ered to the sensors.

However, side impact air bags may

inflate when the vehicle is rolled over

by a side impact collision, if the vehicle

is equipped with side impact air bags.

SRS Care

WARNING

• If the air bags inflate, they must

be replaced by an authorized KIA

dealer.

• Modification to SRS components

or wiring, including the addition

of any kind of badges to the pad

covers or modifications to the

body structure, can adversely

affect SRS performance and lead

to possible injury.

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.

• Do not tamper with or disconnect

SRS wiring, or other components

of the SRS system. Doing so

could result in injury, due to acci-

dental inflation of the air bags or

by rendering the SRS inopera-

tive.

• For cleaning the air bag pad cov-

ers, use only a soft, dry cloth or

one which has been moistened

with plain water. Solvents or

cleaners could adversely affect

the air bag covers and proper

deployment of the system.

Any work on the SRS system, such as

removing, installing, repairing, or any

work on the steering wheel must be per-

formed by an authorized KIA dealer.

Improper handling of the SRS system

may result in serious personal injury.

• If components of the air bag sys-

tem 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. Failure to follow

these precautions and proce-

dures could increase the risk of

personal injury.

•

No objects should be placed over

or near the air bag modules on the

steering wheel, instrument panel,

and the front passenger's panel

above the glove box, because any

such object could cause harm if the

vehicle is in a crash severe enough

to cause the air bags to inflate.

• If your car was flooded and has

soaked carpeting or water on the

flooring, you shouldn't try to start

the engine; have the car towed to

an authorized KIA dealer.

upright, fully back in their seats with

their seat belts on and their feet on the

floor. If occupants are too close to the

air bag covers, they could be injured if

the air bags inflate.

Additional safety precautions

WARNING

• Never let passengers ride in the

cargo area or on top of a folded-

down back seat. All occupants should

sit upright, fully back in their seats with

their seat belts on and their feet on the

floor.

• Sitting improperly or out of posi-

tion can cause occupants to be

shifted too close to a deploying

air bag, strike the interior struc-

ture or be thrown from the vehicle

resulting in serious injury or

death.

• Do not attach or place objects on or

near the air bag covers. Any object

attached to or placed on the front or

side air bag covers could interfere with

the proper operation of the air bags.

• Passengers should not move out of

or change seats while the vehicle is

moving. A passenger who is not wear-

ing a seat belt during a crash or emer-

gency stop can be thrown against the

inside of the vehicle, against other

occupants, or out of the vehicle.

• Always sit upright with the seat-

back in an upright position, cen-

tered on the seat cushion with

your seat belt on, legs comfort-

ably extended and your feet on

the floor.

• Do not modify the front seats.

Modification of the front seats could

interfere with the operation of the sup-

plemental restraint system sensing

components or side air bags.

• Each seat belt is designed to

restrain one occupant. If more than

one person uses the same seat belt,

they could be seriously injured or killed

in a collision.

your air bag-equipped vehicle

If you modify your vehicle by changing

your vehicle's frame, bumper system,

front end or side sheet metal or ride

height, this may affect the operation of

your vehicle's air bag system.

• Do not use any accessories on seat

belts. Devices claiming to improve

occupant comfort or reposition the seat

belt can reduce the protection provided

by the seat belt and increase the

chance of serious injury in a crash.

• Never hold an infant or child on your

lap. The infant or child could be seri-

ously injured or killed in the event of a

crash. All infants and children should

be properly restrained in appropriate

child safety seats or seat belts in the

rear seat.

• Passengers should not place hard

or sharp objects between them-

selves and the air bags. Carrying

hard or sharp objects on your lap or in

your mouth can result in injuries if an

air bag inflates.
