Air bag - advanced supplemental restraint
system
䳜 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 sen
-
sors.
Supplemental Restraint 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
il
luminate, or continuously
remains on, have your vehicle
immediately inspected by an autho
-
rized 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 authorized Kia dealer. Improper
handling of the SRS system may
result in serious personal injury.
For cleaning the air bag pad covers,
use
on
ly 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.
If components of the air bag system
must be
disca
rded, 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 per
-
sonal injury.
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 by render the SRS
inoperative.
Towing Vehicle
Always have the ignition off 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.
