SRS components and functions
The SRS consists of the following com-
ponents:
1. Driver's front air bag module*
2. Passenger's front air bag module*

4. Curtain air bag modules*
5. Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies*

8. Side impact sensors*
9. Passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF
switch*
10. Passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF

* : if equipped
The SRSCM continually monitors all
SRS components whilst the ignition
switch is ON to determine if a crash
impact is severe enough to require air
bag deployment or pre-tensioner seat
belt deployment.
The SRS air bag warning light " " on
the instrument panel will illuminate for
about 6 seconds after the ignition switch
is turned to the ON position, after which
the SRS air bag warning light " "
should go out.
WARNING
If any of the following conditions
occurs, this indicates a malfunction
of the SRS. Have an authorised KIA
dealer inspect the air bag system
as soon as possible.
• The light does not turn on briefly
when you turn the ignition ON.
• The light stays on after illuminat-
ing for approximately 6 seconds.
• The light comes on whilst the
vehicle is in motion.
• The light blinks when the ignition
switch is in ON position.
CAUTION
If the passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF switch malfunctions, the
passenger’s front air bag OFF indi-
cator will not illuminate (The pas-
senger's front air bag ON indicator
comes on and goes off after
approximately 60 seconds) and the
passenger’s front air bag will inflate
in a frontal impact even if the pas-
senger’s front air bag ON/OFF
switch is set to the OFF position.
If this occurs, have an authorised
KIA dealer inspect the passenger’s
front air bag ON/OFF switch and the
SRS air bag system as soon as pos-
sible.
