Safety features of your vehicle Air bag - advanced supplemental restraint system
僅 Front air bags may not inflate in all
rollover accidents when the SRSCM
indicates that the front air bag
deployment would not provide addi
-
tional occupant protection.
僅 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 sensors.
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
appear, or continuously remains on,
have your vehicle immediately inspected
by an authorized 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 autho
-
rized Kia dealer. Improper handling of
the SRS system may result in serious
personal injury.
For cleaning the air bag pad covers, use
only a soft, dry cloth or one which has
been moistened with plain water. Sol
-
vents or cleaners could adversely affect
the air bag covers and proper deploy
-
ment of the system.
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. Fail
-
ure to follow these precautions and pro
-
cedures could increase the risk of
personal 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 acci
-
dental inflation of the air bags or render
the SRS inoperative.
Towing Vehicle
Always have the vehicle in OFF position
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.
