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 the system inspected by a pro-
fessional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.

• Do not tamper with or discon-
nect SRS wiring, or other
components of the SRS sys-
tem. Doing so could result in
injury, due to accidental infla-
tion of the air bags or by ren-
dering the SRS inoperative.
• If components of the air bag
system must be discarded, or
if the vehicle must be
scrapped, certain safety pre-
cautions must be observed.
An authorised 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.
• If your car was flooded and
has soaked carpeting or water
on flooring, you shouldn't try
to start the engine; in this
case, have your vehicle
inspected by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends
to contact an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
WARNING
• Modification to SRS compo-
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure,
can adversely affect SRS per-
formance and lead to possible
injury.

• 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 deploy-
ment of the system.
• 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 inflate.
• If the air bags inflate, have the
system replaced by a profes-
sional workshop.
