Rear impact

Side impact

Rollover

(Continued)
• No objects should be placed over

or near the air bag modules on
the steering wheel, instrument
panel, and the front passenger's
panel above the glove box,
because any such object could
cause harm if the vehicle is in a
crash severe enough to cause
the air bags to deploy.

• Never place covers, blankets or

seat warmers on the passenger
seat as these may interfere with
the occupant detection system.

• Do not tamper with or disconnect

SRS wiring or other components
of the SRS system. Doing so
could result in injury, due to acci-
dental deployment of the air bags
or by rendering the SRS inopera-
tive.

• If the SRS air bag warning light

remains illuminated while the
vehicle is being driven, have an
authorized KIA dealer inspect the
air bag system as soon as possi-
ble.

(Continued)
• Air bags can only be used once –

have an authorized KIA dealer
replace the air bag immediately
after deployment.

• The SRS is designed to deploy

the front air bags only when an
impact is sufficiently severe and
when the impact angle is less
than 30° from the forward longitu-
dinal axis of the vehicle.
Additionally, the air bags will only
deploy once. Seat belts must be
worn at all times.

• Front air bags are not intended to

deploy in side-impact,

rear-

impact or rollover crashes. In
addition, front air bags will not
deploy in frontal crashes below
the deployment threshold.
