lowers the front portion of the vehi-  
cle causing it to “ride” under a vehi-  
cle with a higher ground clearance.

Safety features of your vehicle  
For cleaning the air bag pad covers,  
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.  
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 illumi-  
nate, or continuously remains on, have  
your vehicle immediately inspected by  
an authorized Kia dealer.  
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. Failure to fol-  
low these precautions and proce-  
dures could increase the risk of per-  
sonal injury.  
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 authorized Kia dealer. Improper  
handling of the SRS system may  
result in serious personal injury.

• Air bags may not inflate if the vehi-  
cle 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 sen-  
sors.
