VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS

Your Kia vehicle is equipped with many high technology, electronically controlled systems that help to ensure your vehicle operates properly and provides the performance that you expect. These systems utilize computers to monitor the operation of various systems and components and help to control their operation. These computerized system operations are wide-ranging and involve components to reduce emissions, to continuously evaluate the readiness of the airbag and seatbelt pretensioner systems, to determine when the airbag and seatbelt pretensioner systems should be deployed and then to activate the deployment, and if equipped, to operate anti-lock braking, traction control and electrical stability control to assist the driver to control the vehicle in difficult driving situations. These systems electronically store information that is useful to service technicians when they need to diagnose and repair these systems.

Additional information is stored only when a crash occurs that results in the deployment of the airbags or seatbelt pretensioners. This type of data storage is done by devices called event data recorders (EDR).

After a crash event, the airbag and seatbelt pretensioner computer system, known as the Supplemental Restraint System Control Module (SRSCM) or Airbag Control Unit (ACU), may record some information about the condition of the vehicle and how it was being operated. This information consists of data related to seatbelt usage and if there was diagnostic information in the airbag or seatbelt systems at the time that a crash occurred, and if the ACU sensed that a crash of sufficient severity occurred to require seat belt pretensioner or airbag deployment.

Introduction

To retrieve this information, special equipment is needed and access to the vehicle or the device that stores the data is required. Kia will not access information about a crash event or share it with others except:

•in response to an official request of police or similar government office, or

•with the consent of the vehicle owner or, if the vehicle is leased, with the consent of the lessee, or

•as part Kia’s defense of litigation through the discovery process, or

•as required by law.

Your rights with respect to the information discussed above may vary from state to state. In some states, such information is considered private, is exclusively owned by the owner of the motor vehicle, and is not retrievable or usable by another person or entity.

WARNING - Loose objects

Loose objects in the driver’s foot area could interfere with the operation of the foot pedals, possibly causing an accident. Loose objects might interfere with the seat slide mechanism. Do not place anything under the front seats.

WARNING - Seating position

In order to avoid unnecessary air bag injuries including the possibility of severe injury or death, always sit as far back as possible by moving the seat far back, while still maintaining good vehicle control. Serious injury or death may be caused due to the deployment of the passenger’s air bag.

WARNING - Driver’s seat

•Never attempt to adjust seat while the vehicle is moving. This could result in loss of control, and an accident causing death, serious injury, or property damage.

•Do not allow anything to interfere with the normal position of the seatback. Storing items against a seatback or in any other way interfering with proper locking of a seatback could result in serious or fatal injury in a sudden stop or collision.

•Always drive and ride with your seatback upright lap portion of the safety belt is snug and low across the hips. This puts your safety belts in the best position to protect you in case of an accident.

•In order to avoid unnecessary air bag injuries including the possibility of severe injury or death, always sit as far back as possible from the steering wheel so that your chest is at least 10 inches (250 mm) away from the steering wheel.

WARNING - Driver responsibility for front seat passenger

Driving or riding in a vehicle with a front seatback reclined could lead to serious or fatal injury in an accident. If a front seat is reclined during an accident, the occupant’s hips may slide under the lap portion of the safety belt applying great force to the unprotected abdomen or neck. Serious or fatal internal injuries could result. The driver must advise the front passenger to keep the seatbacks in comfortably upright position whenever the vehicle is in motion.
