Safety features of your vehicle
603
(Continued)
• No objects should be placed
over or near the air bag mod-
ules 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.
• Do not tamper with or discon-
nect SRS wiring or other com-
ponents of the SRS system.
Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental deployment
of the air bags or by rendering
the SRS inoperative.
• If the SRS air bag warning
light remains illuminated
whilst the vehicle is being
driven, have the system
inspected by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends
to visit an authorised Kia deal-
er/service partner.

• Air bags can only be used once
- have the system replaced by a
professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
• 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
longitudinal axis of the vehi-
cle. Additionally, the air bags
will only deploy once. Seat
belts must be worn at all times.
• Front air bags are not intend-
ed to deploy in side-impact,
rear-impact or rollover crash-
es. In addition, front air bags
will not deploy in frontal
crashes below the deploy-
ment threshold.

• 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.
• Children age 12 and under
must always be properly
restrained in the rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in
the front passenger 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.
• For maximum safety protec-
tion in all types of crashes, all
occupants including the driver
should always wear their seat
belts whether or not an air bag
is also provided at their seat-
ing position to windscreen the
risk of severe injury or death
in the event of a crash. Do not
sit or lean unnecessarily close
to the air bag whilst the vehi-
cle is in motion.
