Air bag – supplemental restraint system
ing severe injury or death. Therefore, do not try to perform maintenance on or
around the air bag sensors. Have the system serviced by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends visiting an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
• Keep the SRS parts and wirings away from water or any liquid. If the SRS compo
nents are inoperative due to exposure to water or liquids, it may cause fire or severe
injury.
• Do not tamper with or disconnect wiring or other components of the SRS system, in
cluding the addition of any kind of badges to the pad covers or modifications to the
body structure. Doing so could adversely affect SRS performance and lead to pos
sible injury. If necessary, have the system serviced by a professional workshop. Kia
recommends visiting an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
• If components of the air bag system must be discarded, or if the vehicle must be
scrapped, certain safety precautions must be observed, such as removing SRS and
pre-tensioners from a vehicle due to the risk of fire. Failure to follow these precau
tions and procedures could increase the risk of personal injury. An authorised Kia
dealer knows these precautions and can give you the necessary information.
• Modification to SRS components or wiring, including the addition of any kind of
badges to the pad covers or modifications to the body structure, can adversely af
fect SRS performance and lead to possible injury.
• Sitting improperly or out of position can cause occupants to be shifted too close to
a deploying air bag, strike the interior structure or be thrown from the vehicle result
ing in serious injury or death.
CAUTION
• SRS and pre-tensioners contain explosive chemicals. If scraping a vehicle without
removing SRS and pre-tensioners from a vehicle, it may cause fire. Before scraping
a vehicle, contact a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
• Do not install or place any accessories near air bag deployment areas, such as the
instrument cluster, windows, pillars, and roof rails.
• If an air bag deploys, there may be a loud noise followed by a fine dust released in
the vehicle. These conditions are normal and are not hazardous - the air bags are
packed in this fine powder. The dust generated during air bag deployment may
cause skin or eye irritation as well as aggravate asthma for some persons. Always
wash all exposed skin areas thoroughly with cold water and a mild soap after an ac
cident in which the air bags were deployed.
• The SRS can function only when the vehicle is in the ON position and within approx
imately 3 minutes after the vehicle is in OFF position. If the SRS air bag warning light
does not appear, or continuously remains on after approximately 6 seconds when
the vehicle is in ON position, or after the vehicle is started, comes on whilst driving,
the SRS is not working properly. In this case, have the system inspected by a profes
sional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
• Never place a child in any child or booster seat in the front seat.
