When repairing or scrapping the vehicle
• Repairing the steering wheel, instrument panel,
center console or roofs, or installing a car audio
system around the center console or painting the
front metal sheet could disable the airbag
system. Have such repairs and maintenance
performed by an authorized Kia dealer.
• Special care must be taken in scrapping or junk-
ing an airbag-equipped vehicle. Always refer
such activities to a qualified professional.
Airbag Warning Label
To remind you of the dangers of the airbag, airbag
warning labels which are now required by the U.S.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) are adhered to the driver’s and passen-
ger’s sunvisors and attached to the glove box.
Note that these government warnings focus on the
risk to children, Kia also wants you to be aware of
the risks which adults are exposed to. Those have
been described in previous pages.
Children 12 and under can be killed by the air bag.
The BACK SEAT is the SAFEST place for children.
NEVER put a rear-facing child seat in the front.
Sit as far back as possible from the air bag.
ALWAYS use SEAT BELTS and CHILD RESTRAINTS.
You could cause the air bag to inflate or the system
may fail to operate which may result in severe personal injury.
Refer to Service Manual for further information.
