Safety features of your vehicle
42 3
Any child age 12 and under should
ride in the rear seat. Children too
large for child restraints should use
the available lap/shoulder belts. No
matter what type of crash, children of
all ages are safer when restrained in
the rear seat.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
Do not modify or replace the front
passenger seat. Don't place anything
on or attach anything such as a blan-
ket, front seat covers or after market
seat heater to the front passenger
seat. This can adversely affect the
occupant detection system.
If the occupant detection system is
not working properly, the SRS air bag
warning light
on the instrument
panel will illuminate because the pas-
senger's front air bag is connected
with the occupant detection system. If
there is a malfunction of the occupant
detection system, the PASSENGER
AIR BAG “OFF” indicator will not illu-
minate and the passenger's front air
bag will inflate in frontal impact crash-
es even if there is no occupant in the
front passenger's seat.
WARNING
• Do not put a heavy load or an
active electronic device (ex.
laptop computer, after market
D M B / n a v i g a t i o n / s a t e l l i t e
audio, video game machine,
MP3, etc.) in the front passen-
ger seatback pocket or on the
front passenger seat. Do not
hang onto the front passenger
seat. Do not hang any items
such as seatback table on the
front passenger seatback. Do
not place feet on the front pas-
senger seatback. Do not place
any items under the front pas-
senger seat. Any of these
could interfere with proper
sensor operation or turn on
the air bag warning light.
• Do not place sharp objects on
the front passenger seat.
These may damage the occu-
pant detection system, if they
puncture the seat cushion.

• Air bags can only be used
once – have an authorized Kia
dealer replace the air bag
immediately after deployment.
• The occupant detection sys-
tem may not work properly if
water, coffee or any other liq-
uid including rain gets on the
seat. Keep the front seat dry
at all times.
