Air bag - supplemental restraint system
SRS care
The 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 the system
inspected by a professional work
shop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorized Kia dealer/service part
ner.
䳜 Modification to SRS components
or wiring, including the addition of
any kind of badges to the pad
covers or modifications to the
body structure, can adversely
affect SRS performance and lead
to possible injury.
䳜 For cleaning the air bag pad cov
ers, use only a soft, dry cloth or
one which has been moistened
with plain water. Solvents or
cleaners could adversely affect
the air bag covers and proper
deployment of the system.
䳜 No objects should be placed over
or near the air bag modules on
the steering wheel, instrument
panel, and the front passenger's
panel above the glove box,
because any such object could
cause harm if the vehicle is in a
crash severe enough to cause the
air bags to inflate.
䳜 If the air bags inflate, have the
system replaced by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorized Kia dealer/ser
vice partner.
䳜 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.
䳜 If components of the air bag sys
tem must be discarded, or if the
vehicle must be scrapped, certain
safety precautions must be
observed. An authorized Kia
dealer knows these precautions
and can give you the necessary
information. Failure to follow
these precautions and proce
dures could increase the risk of
personal injury.
䳜 If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on
flooring, you shouldn't try to start
the engine; in this case, have your
vehicle inspected by a profes
sional workshop. Kia recom
mends to contact an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
