• The SRS can function only when
the ignition key is in the ON posi‐
tion. If the SRS air bag warning
light does not illuminate, or contin‐
uously remains on after illuminat‐
ing for about 6 seconds when the
ignition key is turned to the ON
position, or after the engine is
started, comes on while driving,
the SRS is not working properly. In
this case, have the system inspec‐
ted by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service part‐
ner.
• Before you replace a fuse or dis‐
connect a battery terminal, turn
the ignition switch to the LOCK po‐
sition and remove the ignition key.
Never remove or replace the air
bag related fuse(s) when the igni‐
tion switch is in the ON position.
Failure to heed this warning will
cause the SRS air bag warning
light to illuminate.
Driver's and passenger's front
air bag (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a Supple‐
mental Restraint (Air Bag) System and
lap/shoulder belts at both the driver
and passenger seating positions.
The indicators of the system's pres‐
ence are the letters "AIR BAG" em‐
bossed on the air bag pad cover on the
steering wheel and the passenger's
side front panel pad above the glove
box.
The SRS consists of air bags installed
under the pad covers in the center of
the steering wheel and the passenger's
side in the front panel above the glove
box.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide
the vehicle's driver and/or the front
passenger with additional protection
than that offered by the seat belt sys‐
tem alone in case of a frontal impact of
sufficient severity.
WARNING
Always use seat belts and child re‐
straints – every trip, every time, ev‐
eryone! Air bags inflate with consid‐
erable force and in the blink of an
eye. Seat belts help keep occupants
