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 illuminate.
And, the passenger's front air
bag OFF indicator (
) will not
illuminate (The passenger's
front air bag ON indicator
comes on and goes off after
approximately 60 seconds), the
SRS Control Module reactivates
the passenger’s front air bag
and the passenger’s front air
bag will inflate in frontal impact
crashes even if the passenger’s
front air bag ON/OFF switch is
set to the OFF position.
In this case, have the system
inspected by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorised Kia deal-
er/service partner.

that the driver's and/or front
passenger’s and/or side and
curtain air bag may fail to trig-
ger, or not trigger correctly
