✽ ✽ NOTICE
• If luggage or other objects are
placed on the front passenger's
seat or if the temperature of the
seat changes while the seat is unoc-
cupied, the "PASSENGER
AIRBAG OFF" indicator may
blink. These conditions do not
indicate a problem.
• Do not put heavy objects on the front
passenger's seat. This may cause
front passenger airbag deployment
in the event of an accident, thus
increasing your repair costs.

Do Not Do This:
Do This:
(Continued) (Continued)
• Do not modify or replace the
front passenger seat. This will
disable the OCS unless a prop-
er Kia replacement seat is used.
• Do not place sharp objects on
the front passenger seat. These
can damage the occupant clas-
sification system, if they punc-
ture the seat cushion.
• Do not install accessory seat
covers on the front seats,
since these will interfere with
proper sensor operation.
WARNING
• The front seat passenger
airbag is much larger than the
steering wheel airbag and
inflates with considerably
more force. It can seriously
hurt or kill a passenger who is
not in the proper position and
wearing the safety belt proper-
ly.
The front passengers
should always move their seat
as far back as practical and sit
back in their seat.
• It is essential that the front pas-
senger always wears their safe-
ty belts, even when the vehicle
is moving in a parking lot or up
a driveway into garage.
• If the driver brakes the vehicle
heavily prior to an impact,
unbelted occupants will be
thrown forward. If the front
passenger is not wearing the
safety belts, they will be direct-
ly in front of the storage com-
partment when deployment
occurs. In that situation, seri-
ous injury or death is possible.
