Air bag - supplemental restraint system
It may become dangerous projectiles
and cause injury if the passenger's air
bag inflates.
僅 If an air bag deploys, there may be a
loud noise followed by a fine dust
released in the vehicle. These condi
-
tions are normal and are not hazard
-
ous - the air bags are packed in this
fine powder. The dust generated
during air bag deployment may cause
skin or eye irritation as well as aggra
-
vate asthma for some persons.
Always wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly with cold water and a mild
soap after an accident in which the air
bags were deployed.
僅 The SRS can function only when the
ignition key is in the ON position. If the
SRS air bag warning light does not
appear, or continuously remains on
after illuminating for about 6 seconds
when the ignition key is turned to the
ON position, or after the engine is
started, comes on whilst driving, the
SRS is not working properly. In this
case, have the system inspected by a
professional workshop. Kia recom
-
mends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
僅 Before you replace a fuse or discon
-
nect a battery terminal, turn the igni
-
tion switch to the LOCK position and
remove the ignition key or turn off the
ENGINE START/STOP button. Never
remove or replace the air bag related
fuse(s) when the ignition switch is in
the ON position. Failure to heed this
warning will cause the SRS air bag
warning light to appear.

The indications of the system's presence
are the letters "AIR BAG" intagliated on
the air bag pad cover in the steering
wheel and the passenger's side front
panel pad above the glove box.
The SRS consists of air bags installed
under the pad covers in the centre of the

severity.
The driver's hands should be placed on
