clearance. Air bags may not
inflate in this "under-ride" situa
-
tion because deceleration forces
that are detected by sensors may
be significantly reduced by such
"under-ride" collisions.
䳜 Front air bags may not inflate in
all rollover accidents when the
SRS Control Module (SRSCM) indi

cates that the front air bag
deployment would not provide
additional occupant protection.
䳜 Airbags may not inflate if the
vehicle collides with an object such
as a utility pole or tree. This is
because the point of impact is
concentrated in one area and the
full force of the impact is not
delivered to the sensors.
Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) care
The Supplemental Restraint System
(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 illuminate, or continuously
remains on, have your vehicle
immediately inspected by an autho
-
rized Kia dealer.
Any work on the SRS, 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 authorized Kia dealer. Improper
handling of the SRS 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
