(Continued)
• Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS
wiring, or other components
of the SRS system. Doing so could
result in injury, due to accidental
inflation of the air bags or by ren‐
dering the SRS inoperative.
• If components of the air bag sys‐
tem
must be discarded, or if the
vehicle must be scrapped, certain
safety precautions must be ob‐
served. An authorized Kia dealer
knows these precautions and can
give you the necessary informa‐
tion. Failure to follow these pre‐
cautions and procedures could in‐
crease 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 vehicle; in this case, have your
vehicle inspected by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to
contact an authorized Kia dealer/
service partner.
Additional safety precautions
• Ne
ver let passengers ride in the cargo
area or on top of a folded-down back
seat. All occupants should sit upright,
fully back in their seats with their
seat belts on and their feet on the
floor.
• Passengers should not move out of
or change seats while the vehicle is
moving. A passenger who is not
wearing a seat belt during a crash or
emergency stop can be thrown
against the inside of the vehicle,
against other occupants, or out of
the vehicle.
• Each seat belt is designed to restrain
one occupant. If more than one per‐
son uses the same seat belt, they
could be seriously injured or killed in a
collision.
• Do not use any accessories on seat
belts. Devices claiming to improve oc‐
cupant comfort or reposition the seat
belt can reduce the protection provi‐
ded by the seat belt and increase the
chance of serious injury in a crash.
• Passengers should not place hard or
sharp objects between themselves
and the air bags. Carrying hard or
sharp objects on your lap or in your
mouth can result in injuries if an air
bag inflates.
• Keep occupants away from the air
bag covers. All occupants should sit
upright, fully back in their seats with
their seat belts on and their feet on
the floor. If occupants are too close
to the air bag covers, they could be
injured if the air bags inflate.
• Do not attach or place objects on or
near the air bag covers. Any object
attached to or placed on the front or
side air bag covers could interfere
with the proper operation of the air
bags.
• Do not modify the front seats. Modi‐
fication of the front seats could in‐
terfere with the operation of the
supplemental restraint system sens‐
ing components or side air bags.
• Do not place items under the front
seats. Placing items under the front
seats could interfere with the opera‐
tion of the supplemental restraint
system sensing components and wir‐
ing harnesses.
