Airbag (Supplemental Restraint System)
service
Your Supplemental Restraint System is virtually
maintenance-free. There are no parts which you
can service.
You must have the system serviced under the
following circumstances:
• If an airbag ever inflates, the airbag must be
replaced. Do not try to remove or discard the
airbag by yourself. This must be done by an
authorized Kia dealer.
• If the airbag warning indicator light alerts you
to a problem, have the airbag system checked
as soon as possible. Otherwise, your airbag
system may be ineffective.
WARNING - No modifications
• Do not modify any part of the airbag
system. Modification could make the
airbag system ineffective.
• Manufacturers are required by govern-
ment regulations to provide a contact
point concerning modifications to the
vehicle for persons with disabilities,
which modifications may affect the vehi-
cle’s air bag system. That contact is
Kia’s toll-free Customer Assistance
hotline at 1-800-333-4KIA.
WARNING - No maintenance
or repair
• Do not work on the airbag system’s
components or wiring. This could cause
the airbags to inflate inadvertently,
possibly seriously injuring someone.
Working on the system could also
disable the system so that the airbags
would not deploy in a collision.
• Any work on the airbag system, such as
removing, installing, or repairing the
steering wheel must be performed by a
qualified Kia technician. Improper
handling of the airbag system including
the steering wheel may result in serious
personal injury or death.
