Safety features of your vehicle
583
Driver's and passenger's front
air bag
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag)
System and lap/shoulder belts at
both the driver and passenger seat-
ing positions.
The indications of the system's pres-
ence are the letters "AIRBAG"
engraved on the air bag pad cover in
the steering wheel and the passen-
ger's side front panel pad above the
glove box.
The SRS consists of air bags
installed under the pad covers in the
centre of the steering wheel and the
passenger's side front panel above
the glove box.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide
the vehicle's driver and/or the front
passenger with additional protection
than that offered by the seat belt sys-
tem alone in case of a frontal impact
of sufficient severity.

• The SRS can function only
when the ignition switch is in
the ON position. If the SRS
" " warning light does not
illuminate, or continuously
remains on after illuminating
for about 6 seconds when the
ignition switch 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 workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
• Before you replace a fuse or
disconnect a battery terminal,
turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK position and remove
the ignition key. Never remove
or replace the air bag related
fuse (s) when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
Failure to heed this warning
will cause the SRS “ ” warn-
ing light to illuminate.
