ments whilst the ignition switch or
ENGINE START/STOP button is ON to
determine if a frontal, near-frontal
impact or side 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 appear for about 6
seconds after the ignition switch or
ENGINE START/STOP button is turned
to the ON position, after which the air
bag warning light should go out.
If any of the following conditions occurs,
this indicates a malfunction of the SRS.
In this case, have the system inspected
by a professional workshop. Kia recom

Driver's front air bag (1)
The air bag modules are located both in
the centre of the steering wheel and in
the front passenger's panel above the
glove box. When the SRSCM detects a
sufficiently severe impact to the front of
the vehicle, it will automatically deploy
the front air bags.
