Kia CERATO 2018, Owner'S Manual, Page: 80 / 602

CAUTION
• If the passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF switch is not working
properly, the air bag warning light
( )on the instrument panel will il‐
luminate.
And, the passenger's front air bag
OFF indicator ( ) will not illumi‐
nate (The passenger's front air
bag ON indicator comes on and
goes off after approximately
60 seconds), the SRS Control Mod‐
ule reactivates the passenger’s
front air bag and the passenger’s
front air bag will inflate in frontal
impact crashes even if the pas‐
senger’s front air bag ON/OFF
switch is set to the OFF position.
• Air bags can only be used once –
have the system replaced by a
professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service part‐
ner.

• If the SRS air bag warning light
blinks or does not illuminate when
the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position, or if it illuminates
while the vehicle is being driven,
have the system inspected by a
professional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
WARNING
• The driver is responsible for the
proper position of the passenger’s
front air bag ON/OFF switch.
• Deactivate the passenger's front
air bag only when the ignition
switch is switched off, or the mal‐
function may occur in the SRS
Control Module.
And there may be a danger that
the driver's and/or front passeng‐
er’s and/or side and curtain air bag
may fail to trigger, or not trigger
correctly during a collision.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Never install a rearward facing
child seat on the front passenger's
seat unless the passenger's front
air bag has been deactivated. The
infant or child could be severely in‐
jured or killed by an air bag deploy‐
ment in case of an accident.
• Even though your vehicle is equip‐
ped with the passenger's front air
bag ON/OFF switch, do not install a
child restraint system in the front
passenger's seat. A child restraint
system must never be placed in
the front seat. Children who are
too large for child restraint sys‐
tems should always occupy the
rear seat and use the available lap/
shoulder belts. Children are affor‐
ded the most safety in the event
of an accident when they are re‐
strained by a proper restraint sys‐
tem in the rear seat.
• As soon as the child seat is no lon‐
ger needed on the front passeng‐
er's seat, reactivate the front pas‐
senger's air bag.
