Repairing or scrapping the vehi-
cles
• Repairing steering wheel, instru-
ment panel, center console or
roofs, or installing car audio around
center console or painting front
metal sheet could disable the air
bag system. Have them checked
by an authorized Kia dealer.
• When leaving the vehicle at an
authorized Kia dealer, inform the
facility that the vehicle is equipped
with air bag system, and leave the
owner’s manual in the vehicle.
• Since air bag system contains
explosive chemical substances,
contact an authorized Kia dealer
when scrapping the vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not modify any part of the
Supplemental Restraint System.
Modification could make the air
bag system ineffective or could
cause unnecessary deploy-
ment.
WARNING
• Do not modify your steering
wheel, seat or any other part
of the Supplemental Restraint
System. Modification could
make the system inoperable.
• Do not work on the system’s
components or wiring. This
could cause the air bags to
inflate inadvertently, possibly
seriously injuring someone.
Working on the system could
also disable the system so
that the air bags would not
deploy in a collision.
• Any work on the SRS system,
such as removing, installing,
repairing, or any work on the
steering wheel must be per-
formed by a qualified Kia tech-
nician. Improper handling of
the air bag system may result
in serious personal injury or
death.
