CAUTION
If the occupant classification
system is not working properly,
the airbag warning light (
) on
the instrument panel will illumi-
nate because the passenger’s
airbag is connected with the
occupant classification system.
If there is a malfunction of the
occupant classification system,
the PASSENGER AIR BAG
“OFF” indicator will illuminate
and the front passenger's
airbag will not deploy in frontal
crashes even if there is adult
occupant in the front passen-
ger's seat.

Have an authorized Kia dealer
inspect the occupant classifica-
tion system with the SRS airbag
system as soon as possible if
any of following occur;
• The SRS airbag warning light
does not illuminate when the
ignition key is turned to "ON"
position.
• The SRS airbag warning light
remains illuminated after illu-
minating for approximately 6
seconds.
• The SRS airbag warning light
illuminates while the vehicle is
being driven.
WARNING
• The occupant classification
system can function only
when the ignition key is in the
"ON" position.
• For very small person, the
occupant classification sys-
tem may or may not turn off
the right front passenger's
frontal airbag,
depending
upon the person's seating
posture and body build.
Everyone in your vehicle
should wear a safety belt
properly -- whether or not
there is an air bag for that per-
son.

WARNING
If the front passenger seat
should be modified for persons
with disabilities that may affect
the operation of the occupant
classification system, contact
an authorized Kia dealer.
