Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING
• The driver is responsible for
the proper position of the pas-
senger’s front air bag ON/OFF
switch.
• Deactivate the passenger's
front air bag only when the
ignition switch is switched off,
or the malfunction may occur
in the SRS Control Module.
And there may be a danger
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
during a collision.
• Never install a rearward facing
child seat on the front passen-
ger's seat unless the passen-
ger's front air bag has been
deactivated. The infant or child
could be severely injured or
killed by an air bag deploy-
ment in case of an accident.

(Continued)
• Even though your vehicle is
equipped with the passenger's
front air bag ON/OFF switch, do
not install a child restraint sys-
tem 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 systems
should always occupy the rear
seat and use the available
lap/shoulder belts. Children are
afforded the most safety in the
event of an accident when they
are restrained by a proper
restraint system in the rear seat.
• As soon as the child seat is
no longer needed on the front
passenger's seat, reactivate
the front passenger's air bag.
• Never place or insert any
object into any small opening
near side airbag labels
attached to the vehicle seats.
When the air bag deploys, the
object may affect the deploy-
ment and result in unexpected
accident or bodily harm.
(Continued)
• If the SRS air bag warning
light blinks or does not illumi-
nate when the ignition switch
is turned to the ON position,
or if it illuminates whilst the
vehicle is being driven, have
the system inspected by a
professional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service part-
ner.
