Introduction

Your new Kia vehicle is designed to use
only unleaded fuel having a pump octane
number ((R+M)/2) of 87 (Research
Octane Number 91) or higher.

Your new vehicle is designed to obtain
maximum performance with UNLEADED
FUEL, as well as minimize exhaust emis­sions and spark plug fouling.

Never add any fuel system cleaning
agents to the fuel tank other than what
has been specified. (Consult an author­ized Kia dealer for details.)

✽✽

NOTICE

Tighten the cap until it clicks one time,
otherwise the fuel cap open warning
indicator light will illuminate.

Gasoline containing alcohol and
methanol

Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and
ethanol (also known as grain alcohol),
and gasoline or gasohol containing
methanol (also known as wood alcohol)
are being marketed along with or instead
of leaded or unleaded gasoline.

Do not use gasohol containing more than
10% ethanol, and do not use gasoline or
gasohol containing any methanol. Either
of these fuels may cause drivability prob­lems and damage to the fuel system.

Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if
drivability problems occur.

Vehicle damage or drivability problems
may not be covered by the manufactur­er’s warranty if they result from the use
of:

1.Gasohol containing more than 10%
ethanol.

2.Gasoline or gasohol containing
methanol.

3.Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.

"E85" fuel is an alternative fuel com­prised of 85 percent ethanol and 15 per­cent gasoline, and is manufactured
exclusively for use in Flexible Fuel
Vehicles. “E85” is not compatible with
your vehicle. Use of “E85” may result in
poor engine performance and damage to
your vehicle's engine and fuel system.
Kia recommends that customers do not
use fuel with an ethanol content exceed­ing 10 percent.

✽✽

NOTICE

Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty
does not cover damage to the fuel system
or any performance problems caused by
the use of “E85” fuel.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING - Refueling

• Do not "top off" after the nozzle
automatically shuts off. Attempts
to force more fuel into the tank
can cause fuel overflow onto you
and the ground causing a risk of
fire.

• Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci­dent.

Introduction

41

Do not use methanol

Fuels containing methanol (wood alco­hol) should not be used in your vehicle.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle per­formance and damage components of
the fuel system.

✽✽

NOTICE

Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty
may not cover damage to the fuel system
and any performance problems that are
caused by the use of fuels containing
methanol.

Fuel Additives

Kia recommends that you use good qual­ity gasolines treated with detergent addi­tives such as TOP TIER Detergent
Gasoline, which help prevent deposit for­mation in the engine. These gasolines
will help the engine run cleaner and
enhance performance of the Emission
Control System. For more information on
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline, please
go to the website (www

.toptiergas.com).

For customers who do not use TOP Tier
Detergent Gasoline regularly, and have
problems starting or the engine does not
run smoothly, additives that you can buy
separately may be added to the gasoline.
If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is not
available, one bottle of additive added to
the fuel tank at every 12,000 km (7,500
miles) or every engine oil change is rec­ommended. Additives are available from
your authorized Kia dealer along with
information on how to use them. Do not
mix other additives.

Operation in foreign countries

If you are going to drive your vehicle in
another country, be sure to:

• Observe all regulations regarding reg­istration and insurance.

• Determine that acceptable fuel is avail­able.

Introduction

By following a few simple precautions for
the first 1,000 km (600 miles) you may
add to the performance, economy and
life of your vehicle.

• Do not race the engine.

• Avoid hard stops, except in emergen­cies, to allow the brakes to seat prop­erly.

• Don't tow a trailer during the first 2,000

Seat belt restraint system

Seat belts are designed to bear upon the
bony structure of the body, and should
be worn low across the front of the pelvis
or the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as
applicable; wearing the lap section of the
belt across the abdominal area must be
avoided.

as possible, consistent with comfort, to
provide the protection for which they
have been designed.

A slack belt will greatly reduce the pro­tection afforded to the wearer.

Care should be taken to avoid contami­nation of the webbing with polishes, oils
and chemicals, and particularly battery
acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out
using mild soap and water. The belt
should be replaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated or damaged.

• For maximum restraint system protec­tion, the seat belts must always be
used whenever the vehicle is moving.

Seat belt - Driver's 3-point system
with emergency locking retractor

To fasten your seat belt:

To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the
retractor and insert the metal tab (1) into
the buckle (2). There will be an audible
"click" when the tab locks into the buc kle.

The seat belt automatically adjusts to the
proper length only after the lap belt por­tion is adjusted manually so that it fits
snugly around your hips. If you lean for­ward in a slow, easy motion, the belt will
extend and let you move around. If there
is a sudden stop or impact, however, the
belt will lock into position. It will also lock
if you try to lean forward too quickly.

If you are not able to pull out the seat belt
from the retractor, firmly pull the belt out
and release it. Then you will be able to
pull the belt out smoothly.

Height adjustment

You can adjust the height of the shoulder
belt anchor to one of the 4 positions for
maximum comfort and safety.

The height of the adjusting seat belt
should not be too close to your neck. The
shoulder portion should be adjusted so
that it lies across your chest and midway
over your shoulder near the door and not
your neck.

To adjust the height of the seat belt
anchor, lower or raise the height adjuster
into an appropriate position.

To raise the height adjuster, pull it up (1).
To lower it, push it down (3) while press­ing the height adjuster button (2).

Release the button to lock the anchor
into position. Try sliding the height
adjuster to make sure that it has locked
into position.

You should place the lap belt portion as
low as possible and snugly across your
hips. If the lap belt is located too high on
your waist, it may increase the chance of
injury in the event of a collision.

The arm closest to the seat belt buckle
should be over the belt while the other
arm should be under the belt as shown in
the illustration.

WARNING - Shoulder belt

positioning

Never position the shoulder belt
across your neck or face.

Seat belts - Front passenger and rear
seat 3-point system with combination
locking retractor

To fasten your seat belt:

Combination retractor type seat belts are
installed in the rear seat positions to help
accommodate the installation of child
restraint systems. Although a combina­tion retractor is also installed in the front
passenger seat position, it is strongly
recommended that children always be
seated in the rear seat. NEVER place
any infant restraint system in the front
seat of the vehicle.

This type of seat belt combines the fea­tures of both an emergency locking
retractor seat belt and an automatic lock­ing retractor seat belt.T o f asten y our seat
belt, pull it out of the retractor and insert
the metal tab into the buckle. There will
be an audible "click" when the tab locks
into the buckle. When not securing a
child restraint, the seat belt operates in
the same way as the driver's seat belt
(Emergency Locking Retractor Type).

It automatically adjusts to the proper
length only after the lap belt portion of
the seat belt is adjusted manually so that
it fits snugly around your hips.

When the seat belt is fully extended from
the retractor to allow the installation of a
child restraint system, the seat belt oper­ation changes to allow the belt to retract,
but not to extend (Automatic Locking
Retractor Type). Refer to “Using a child
restraint system” in this section.

To convert from the automatic locking
feature to the emergency locking opera­tion mode, allow the unbuckled seat belt
to fully retract.

When using the rear center seat belt, the
buckle with the “CENTER”mark must be
used.

OBH038023N

321

Safety features of your vehicle

To release the seat belt:

The seat belt is released by pressing the
release button (1) of the locking buckle.
When it is released, the belt should auto­matically draw back into the retractor.

If this does not happen, check the belt to
be sure it is not twisted, then try again.

Pre-tensioner seat belt

Your vehicle is equipped with driver's and
front passenger's pre-tensioner seat
belts.The purpose of the pre-tensioner is
to make sure that the seat belts fit tightly
against the occupant's body in certain
frontal collisions (or side collisions). The
pre-tensioner seat belts may be activated
in crashes, where the frontal collision is
severe enough.

When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if
the occupant tries to lean forward too
quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock
into position. In cer tain frontal collisions,
the pre-tensioner will activate and pull
the seat belt into tighter contact against
the occupant's body.

If the system senses excessive seat belt
tension on the driver or passenger's seat
belt when the pre-tensioner activates, the
load limiter inside the pre-tensioner will
release some of the pressure on the
affected seat belt.

B210A01NF-1

The seat belt pre-tensioner system con­sists mainly of the following components.
Their locations are shown in the illustra­tion:

1.SRS air bag warning light

2.Retractor pre-tensioner assembly

3.SRS control module

4.Anchor pre-tensioner assembly

Both the driver's and front passenger's
pre-tensioner seat belts may be activated
in certain frontal collisions.

The pre-tensioners will not be activated if
the seat belts are not being worn at the
time of the collision.

✽✽

NOTICE

When the pre-tensioner seat belts are
activated, a loud noise may be heard
and fine dust, which may appear to be
smoke, may be visible in the passenger
compartment. These are normal operat­ing conditions and are not hazardous.

Because the sensor that activates the
SRS air bag is connected with the pre­tensioner seat belt, the SRS air bag
warning light ( ) on the instrument
panel will illuminate for approximately 6
seconds after the ignition switch has
been turned to the ON position, and then
it should turn off.

If the pre-tensioner seat belt does not
work properly, this warning light will illu­minate even if the SRS air bag has not
malfunctioned. If the SRS air bag warn­ing light does not illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned ON, or if it
remains illuminated after illuminating for
approximately 6 seconds, or if it illumi­nates while the vehicle is being driven,
please have an authorized Kia dealer
inspect the pre-tensioner seat belt or
SRS air bag system as soon as possible.

OTF030050N

WARNING - Skin irritation

Wash all exposed skin areas thor­oughly after an accident in which
the pre-tensioner seat belts were
activated. The fine dust from the
pre-tensioner activation may cause
skin irritation and should not be
breathed for prolonged periods.

Safety features of your vehicle

✽✽

NOTICE

Do not attempt to service or repair the
pre-tensioner seat belt system in any
manner. Do not attempt to inspect or
replace the pre-tensioner seat belts
yourself. This must be done by an
authorized Kia dealer.

Pre-tensioners are designed to operate
only one time. After activation, pre-ten­sioner seat belts must be replaced. If the
pre-tensioner must be replaced, contact
an authorized Kia dealer.

Seat belt precautions

Infant or small child

You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country. Child
and/or infant seats must be properly
placed and installed in the rear seat. For
more information about the use of these
restraints, refer to “Child restraint sys­tem” in this section.

WARNING - Hot

Safety features of your vehicle

243

Larger children

Children who are too large for child
restraint systems should always occupy
the rear seat and use the available
lap/shoulder belts.The lap portion should
be fastened and snugged on the hips
and as low as possible. Check if the belt
fits periodically. A child's squir ming could
put the belt out of position. Children are
given the most safety in the event of an
accident when they are restrained by a
proper restraint system in the rear seat.If
a larger child (over age 12) must be seat­ed in the front seat, the child should be
securely restrained by the available
lap/shoulder belt and the seat should be
placed in the rearmost position. Children
age 12 and under should be restrained
securely in the rear seat.NEVER place a
child age 12 and under in the front seat.
NEVER place a rear facing child seat in
the front seat of a vehicle.

If the shoulder belt portion slightly touch­es the child’s neck or face, try placing the
child closer to the center of the vehicle.If
the shoulder belt still touches their face
or neck they need to be returned to a
child restraint system.

Restraint of pregnant women

Pregnant women should wear lap/shoul­der belt assemblies whenever possible
according to specific recommendations
by their doctors. The lap portion of the
belt should be worn AS SNUGLY AND
LOW AS POSSIBLE.

WARNING - Small children

Do not allow small children to ride
in the vehicle without an appropri­ate child restraint system.

WARNING - Pregnant

women

Pregnant women must never place
the lap portion of the seat belt
above or on the abdomen where
the fetus is located.The force of the
seat belt during a collision will
crush the fetus.

325

Safety features of your vehicle

Injured person

A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
When this is necessary, you should con­sult a physician for recommendations.

One person per belt

Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of
injuries in case of an accident.

Do not lie down

To reduce the chance of injuries in the
event of an accident and to achieve max­imum effectiveness of the restraint sys­tem, all passengers should be sitting up
and the front seats should be in an
upright position when the vehicle is mov­ing. A seat belt cannot provide proper
protection if the person is lying down in
the rear seat or if the front seat is in a
reclined position.

Care of seat belts

Seat belt systems should never be disas­sembled or modified. In addition, care
should be taken to assure that seat belts
and belt hardware are not damaged by
seat hinges, doors or other abuse.

Periodic inspection

All seat belts should be inspected peri­odically for wear or damage of any kind.
Any damaged parts should be replaced
as soon as possible.

Keep belts clean and dry

Seat belts should be kept clean and dry.
If belts become dirty, they can be
cleaned by using a mild soap solution
and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong
detergents or abrasives should not be
used because they may damage and
weaken the fabric.

When to replace seat belts

The entire in-use seat belt assembly or
assemblies should be replaced if the
vehicle has been involved in an accident.
This should be done even if no damage
is visible. Additional questions concern­ing seat belt operation should be directed
to an authorized Kia dealer.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM

Children riding in the car should sit in the
rear seat and must always be properly
restrained to minimize the risk of injury in
an accident, sudden stop or sudden
maneuver. According to accident statis­tics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats than in the
front seat. Larger children who are not in
a child restraint should use one of the
seat belts provided.

You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country. Child
and/or infant safety seats must be prop­erly placed and installed in the rear seat.
You must use a commercially available
child restraint system that meets the
requirements of the safety standards of
your country.

Child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats by seat belt,
or by a tether anchor and/or LATCH
anchors (if equipped).

Children could be injured or killed in a
crash if their restraints are not properly
secured.For small children and babies, a
child seat or infant seat must be used.

Before buying a particular child restraint
system, make sure it fits your vehicle
seat and seat belts, and fits your child.
Follow all the instructions provided by the
manufacturer when installing the child
restraint system.

When the child restraint system is not in
use, store it in the luggage area or fasten
it with a seat belt so that it will not be
thrown forward in case of a sudden stop
or an accident.

WARNING - Restraint

location

Never install a child or infant seat
on the front passenger's seat.

A child riding in the front passen­ger seat can be forcefully struck by
an inflating airbag.

WARNING - Hot child

restraint

A child restraint system can
become very hot if it is left in a
closed vehicle on a sunny day. Be
sure to check the seat cover, buck­les and latches before placing a
child in the restraint system.

327

Safety features of your vehicle

Using a child restraint system

For small children and babies, the use of
a child seat or infant seat is required.This
child seat or infant seat should be of
appropriate size for the child and should
be installed in accordance with the man­ufacturer's instructions.

For safety reasons, we recommend that
the child restraint system be used in the
rear seats.

WARNING - Holding

children

Never hold a child in your arms or
lap when riding in a vehicle. The
violent forces created during a
crash will tear the child from your
arms and throw the child against
the car’s interior.

Always use a child restraint system
which is appropriate for your
child's height and weight.

WARNING - Seat belt use

Do not use one seat belt for two
occupants at the same time. This
will eliminate any safety benefit
provided by the seat belt to the
occupants.

Check that the child restraint system is
secure by pushing and pulling it in differ­ent directions. Incorrectly fitted child
restraints may swing, twist, tip or sepa­rate causing death or serious injury.

Securing a child restraint seat with
child seat lower anchor system

Some child seat manufacturers make
child restraint seats that are labeled as
LATCH or LATCH-compatible child
restraint seats. LATCH stands for "Lower
Anchors and Tethers for Children".These
seats include two rigid or webbing
mounted attachments that connect to
two LATCH anchors at specific seating
positions in your vehicle. This type of
child restraint seat eliminates the need to
use seat belts to attach the child seat in
the rear seats.

WARNING - Tether strap

Never mount more than one child
restraint to a single tether or to a
single lower anchorage point. The
increased load caused by multiple
seats may cause the tethers or
anchorage points to break.

❈ The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ from the illustration.

335

Safety features of your vehicle

How does the air bag system
operate

• Air bag are activated (able to inflate if
necessary) only when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON or START
the appropriate position.

• Air bags inflate instantly in the event of
serious frontal or side collision (if
equipped with side impact air bag or
curtain air bag) in order to help protect
the occupants from serious physical
injury.

• There is no single speed at which the
air bags will inflate.

Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate based upon the severity of a col­lision and its direction. These two fac­tors determine whether the sensors
produce an electronic deployment/
inflation signal.

• Air bag deployment depends on a
number of complex factors including
vehicle speed, angles of impact and
the density and stiffness of the vehi­cles or objects which your vehicle hits
in the collision.Though, factors are not
limited to those mentioned above.

• The front air bags will completely
inflate and deflate in an instant.

It is virtually impossible for you to see
the air bags inflate during an accident.
It is much more likely that you will sim­ply see the deflated air bags hanging
out of their storage compartments after
the collision.

• In order to help provide protection in a
severe collision, the air bags must
inflate rapidly. The speed of air bag
inflation is a consequence of extreme­ly short time in which a collision occurs
and the need to get the air bag
between the occupant and the vehicle
structures before the occupant impacts
those structures.This speed of inflation
reduces the risk of serious or life­threatening injuries in a severe colli­sion and is thus a necessary part of air
bag design.

However, air bag inflation can also
cause injuries which can include facial
abrasions, bruises and broken bones
because the inflation speed also caus­es the air bags to expand with a great
deal of force.

• There are even circumstances
under which contact with the steer­ing wheel air bag can cause fatal
injuries, especially if the occupant
is positioned excessively close to
the steering wheel.

Safety features of your vehicle

363

Noise and smoke

When the air bags inflate, they make a
loud noise and they leave smoke and
powder in the air inside of the vehicle.
This is normal and is a result of the igni­tion of the air bag inflator. After the air
bag inflates, you may f eel substantial dis­comfort in breathing due to the contact of
your chest to both the seat belt and the
air bag, as well as from breathing the
smoke and powder. Open your doors

and/or windows as soon as possible
after the impact in order to reduce dis­comfort and prevent prolonged expo­sure to smoke and powder.

Though smoke and powder are non­toxic, it may cause irritation to the skin
(eyes, nose and throat etc). If this is the
case, wash and rinse with the cold water
immediately and consult the doctor if the
symptom persists.

Installing a child restraint on a front
passenger’s seat is forbidden

Never place a rear-facing child restraint
in the front passenger’s seat. If the air
bag deploys, it would impact the rear-f ac­ing child restraint, causing serious or
fatal injury.

In addition, do not place front-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s seat
either. If the front passenger air bag
inflates, it would cause serious or fatal
injuries to the child.

impact is severe enough to require air
bag deployment or pre-tensioner seat
belt deployment.

The SRS air bag warning light on the
instrument panel will illuminate for about
6 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, after which the
air bag warning light should go out.

If any of the following conditions occurs,
this indicates a malfunction of the SRS.
Have an authorized Kia dealer inspect
the air bag system as soon as possible.

• The light does not turn on briefly when
you turn the ignition ON.

• The light stays on after illuminating for

Safety features of your vehicle

The air bag modules are located both in
the center of the steering wheel and in
the front passenger's panel above the
glove box. When the SRSCM detects a
sufficiently severe impact to the front of
the vehicle, it will automatically deploy
the front air bags.

Upon deployment, tear seams molded
directly into the pad covers will separate
under pressure from the expansion of the
air bags. Further opening of the covers
then allows full inflation of the air bags.

A fully inflated air bag, in combination
with a properly worn seat belt, slows the
driver's or the passenger's forward
motion, reducing the risk of head and
chest injury.

After complete inflation, the air bag
immediately starts deflating, enabling the
driver to maintain forward visibility and
the ability to steer or operate other con­trols.

Main components of occupant detec­tion system

• A detection device located within the
front passenger seat track.

• Electronic system to determine
whether passenger air bag systems
should be activated or deactivated.

• An indicator light located on the instru­ment panel which illuminates the
words PASSENGER AIR BAG “OFF”
indicating the front passenger air bag
system is deactivated.

• The instrument panel air bag warning
light is interconnected with the occu­pant detection system.

If the front passenger seat is occupied by
a person that the system determines to
be of adult size, and he/she sits properly
(sitting upright with the seatback in an
upright position, centered on the seat
cushion with their seat belt on, legs com­fortably extended and their feet on the
floor), the PASSENGER AIR BAG “OFF”
indicator will turn off and the front pas­senger's air bag will be able to inflate, if
necessary, in frontal crashes.

You will find the PASSENGER AIR BAG
“OFF” indicator on the center facia panel.
This system detects the conditions 1~4
in the following table and activates or
deactivates the front passenger air bag
based on these conditions.

Always be sure that you and all vehicle
occupants are seated and restrained
properly (sitting upright with the seat in
an upright position, centered on the seat
cushion, with the person’s legs comfort­ably extended, feet on the floor, and
wearing the safety belt properly) for the
most effective protection by the air bag
and the safety belt.

• The ODS (Occupant Detection System)
may not function properly if the passen­ger takes actions which can defeat the
detection system.These include:

(1) Failing to sit in an upright position.
(2) Leaning against the door or center

console.

(3) Sitting towards the sides or the front

of the seat.

(4) Putting legs on the dashboard or rest-

ing them on other locations which
reduce the passenger weight on the

front seat.
(5) Improperly wearing the safety belt.
(6) Reclining the seat back.

BAG “OFF” indicator is on, turn the igni­tion switch to the LOCK position and ask
the passenger to sit properly (sitting
upright with the seat back in an upright
position, centered on the seat cushion
with their seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the floor).
Restart the engine and have the person
remain in that position.This will allow the
system to detect the person and to
enable the passenger air bag.

If the PASSENGER AIR BAG “OFF” indi­cator is still on, ask the passenger to
move to the rear seat.

✽✽

NOTICE

The PASSENGER AIR BAG “OFF”
indicator illuminates for about 4 sec­onds after the ignition switch is turned
to the ON position or after the engine is
started. If the front passenger seat is
occupied, the occupant detection sensor
will then classify the front passenger
after several more seconds.

WARNING - “AIR BAG

OFF” light

Do not allow an adult passenger to
ride in the front seat when the PAS­SENGER AIR BAG “OFF” indicator
is illuminated, because the air bag
will not deploy in the event of a
crash. The driver must instruct the
passenger to reposition himself in
the seat. Failure to properly posi­tion yourself may lead to airbag
deactivation resulting in airbag
non-deployment and in a collision.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG “OFF”
indicator remains illuminated after
the passenger repositions them­selves properly and the car is
restarted, it is recommended that
passenger move to the rear seat
because the passenger's front air
bag will not deploy.

345

Safety features of your vehicle

Any child age 12 and under should ride
in the rear seat. Children too large for
child restraints should use the available
lap/shoulder belts. No matter what type
of crash, children of all ages are safer
when restrained in the rear seat.

✽✽

NOTICE

Do not modify or replace the front pas­senger seat. Don't place anything on or
attach anything such as a blanket, front
seat covers or after market seat heater
to the front passenger seat. This can
adversely affect the occupant detection
system.

If the occupant detection system is not
working properly, the SRS air bag warn­ing light on the instrument panel will
illuminate because the passenger's front
air bag is connected with the occupant
detection system. If there is a malfunc­tion of the occupant detection system,
the PASSENGER AIR BAG “OFF”indica­tor will not illuminate and the passenger's
front air bag will inflate in frontal impact
crashes even if there is no occupant in
the front passenger's seat.

Driver's and passenger's front air

The indications of the system's presence
are the letters "AIR BAG" embossed on
the air bag pad cover in 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
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 system alone in
case of a frontal impact of sufficient
severity. The SRS uses sensors to gath­er information about the driver's seat
position, the driver's and front passen­ger's seat belt usage and impact severi­ty.

The advanced SRS offers the ability to
control the air bag inflation with two lev­els.A first stage level is provided for mod­erate-severity impacts. A second stage
level is provided f or more se v ere impacts.

The passenger’s front air bag is designed
to help reduce the injury of children sit­ting close to the instrument panel in low
speed collisions. However, children are
safer if they are restraint in the rear seat.

According to the impact severity, seating
position and seat belt usage, the SRSCM
(SRS Control Module) controls the air
bag inflation. Failure to properly wear
seat belts can increase the risk or sever­ity of injury in an accident.

Additionally, your vehicle is equipped
with an occupant detection system in the
front passenger's seat. The occupant
detection system detects the presence of
a passenger in the front passenger's seat
and will turn off the front passenger's air
bag under certain conditions. For more
detail, see "Occupant detection system"
in this section.

Do not place any objects that may cause
magnetic fields near the front seat.These
may cause a malfunction of the seat
track position sensor.

Safety features of your vehicle

Manufacturers are required by govern­ment regulations to provide a contact
point concerning modifications to the
vehicle for persons with disabilities,
which modifications may affect the vehi­cle’s advanced air bag system.

However, Kia does not endorse nor will it
support any changes to any part or struc­ture of the vehicle that could affect the
advanced air bag system, including the
occupant detection system.

Advanced air bags are combined with
pre-tensioner seat belts to help provide
enhanced occupant protection in frontal
crashes. Front air bags are not intended
to deploy in collisions in which sufficient
protection can be provided by the pre­tensioner seat belt alone.

Front air bags are not intended to deploy
in side-impact, rear-impact or rollover
crashes.In addition, front air bags will not
deploy in frontal crashes below the
deployment threshold.

WARNING - Replacement /

modifications

The front passenger seat, dash­board or door should not be
replaced except by an authorized
Kia dealer using original Kia parts
designed for this vehicle and
model. Any other such replacement
or modification could adversely
affect the operation of the occupant
detection system and your
advanced air bags.

WARNING - SRS Wiring

Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS wiring or other components of
the SRS system. Doing so could
result in injury, due to accidental
deployment of the air bags or by
rendering the SRS inoperative.

Side impact air bag

Your vehicle is equipped with a side
impact air bag in each front seat.

The purpose of the air bag is to provide
the vehicle's driver and/or the front pas­senger with additional protection than
that offered by the seat belt alone.

The side impact air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side-impact
collisions, depending on the crash sever­ity, angle, speed and point of impact. The
side air bags are not designed to deploy
in all side impact situations.

WARNING - Unexpected

Safety features of your vehicle

The side impact air bag is supplemental
to the driver's and the passenger's seat
belt systems and is not a substitute for
them. Therefore your seat belts must be
worn at all times while the vehicle is in
operation.

For best protection from the side air bag
system and to avoid being injured by the
deploying side air bag, both front seat
occupants should sit in an upright posi­tion with the seat belt properly fastened.
The driver's hands should be placed on
the steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00
positions. The passenger's arms and
hands should be placed on their laps.

If seat or seat cover is damaged, have
the vehicle checked and repaired by an
authorized Kia dealer. Inform that your
vehicle is equipped with side impact air
bags and an occupant detection system.

Curtain air bag

Curtain air bags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front and
rear doors.

WARNING - Deployment

Do not install any accessories
including seat covers, on the side
or near the side impact air bag as
this may affect the deployment of
the side air bags.

WARNING - Flying objects

Do not place any objects (an
umbrella, bag, etc.) between the
front door and the front seat. Such
objects may become dangerous

The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side impact
collisions, depending on the crash sever­ity, angle, speed and impact. The curtain
air bags are not designed to deploy in all
side impact situations, collisions from the
front or rear of the vehicle or in most
rollover situations.

Do not allow the passengers to lean their
heads or bodies onto doors, put their
arms on the doors, stretch their arms out
of the window, or place objects between
the doors and passengers when they are

Why didn’t my air bag go off in a
collision? (Inflation and non-infla­tion conditions of the air bag)

There are many types of accidents in
which the air bag would not be expect­ed to provide additional protection.

These include rear impacts,second or
third collisions in multiple impact
accidents, as well as low speed
impacts. In other words, just because
your vehicle is damaged and even if it
is totally unusable, don’t be surprised
that the air bags did not inflate.

Problems may arise if the sensor instal­lation angles are changed due to the
deformation of the front bumper, body or
B pillar where side collision sensors are
installed. Have the vehicle checked and
repaired by an authorized Kia dealer.

Installing aftermarket bumper guards or
replacing a bumper with non-genuine
parts may adversely affect your vehicle’s
collision and air bag deployment per­formance.

Air bag inflation conditions

Front air bags

Front air bags are designed to inflate in a
frontal collision depending on the intensi­ty, speed or angles of impact of the front
collision.

WARNING - Air bag

sensors

• Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air
bag or sensors are installed.

This may cause unexpected air
bag deployment, which could
result in serious personal injury
or death.

• If the installation location or
angle of the sensors is altered in
any way, the air bags may deploy
when they should not or they may
not deploy when they should.

Therefore, do not try to perform
maintenance on or around the air
bag sensors. Have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an
authorized Kia dealer.

1JBA3513

Safety features of your vehicle

❈ The actual air bags in the vehicle may

differ from the illustration.

Side air bags

Side air bags (side impact and/or curtain
air bags) are designed to inflate when an
impact is detected by side collision sen­sors depending on the strength, speed or
angles of impact resulting from a side
impact collision.

Although the front air bags (driver’s and
front passenger’s air bags) are designed
to inflate in frontal collisions, they also
may inflate in other types of collisions if
the front impact sensors detect a suffi­cient frontal force in another type of
impact. Side impact and curtain air bags
are designed to inflate in certain side
impact collisions. They may inflate in
other type of collisions where a side force
is detected by the sensors.

If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved roads
or sidewalks, air bags may deploy. Dr ive
carefully on unimproved roads or on sur­faces not designed for vehicle traffic to
prevent unintended air bag deployment.

Air bag non-inflation conditions

• In certain low-speed collisions the air
bags may not deploy. The air bags are
designed not to deploy in such cases
because they may not provide benefits
beyond the protection of the seat belts
in such collisions.

1JBA3516

OUN026090

1JBA3515

Safety features of your vehicle

543

• Air bags are not designed to inflate in
rear collisions, because occupants are
moved backward by the force of the
impact. In this case, inflated air bags
would not be able to provide any addi­tional benefit.

• Front air bags may not inflate in side
impact collisions, because occupants
move to the direction of the collision,
and thus in side impacts, front air bag
deployment would not provide addi­tional occupant protection.

• In a slant or angled collision, the force
of impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bags would not
be able to provide any additional bene­fit, and thus the sensors may not
deploy any air bags.

OED036100

1JBA35211JBA3516

355

Safety features of your vehicle

• Just before impact, drivers often brake
heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the
front portion of the vehicle causing it to
“ride” under a vehicle with a higher
ground clearance. Air bags may not
inflate in this "under-ride" situation
because deceleration forces that are
detected by sensors may be signifi­cantly replaced by such “under-ride”
collisions.

• Air bags do not inflate in all rollover
accidents, even though the vehicle is
equipped with side impact air bags and
curtain air bags.

• Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated to one area and
the full force of the impact is not deliv­ered to the sensors.

SRS Care

The SRS is virtually maintenance-free
and there are no parts you can safely
service by yourself. If the SRS air bag
warning light does not illuminate, or con­tinuously remains on, have your vehicle
immediately inspected by an authorized
Kia dealer.

Any work on the SRS system, such as
removing, installing, repairing, or any
work on the steering wheel must be per­formed by an authorized Kia dealer.
Improper handling of the SRS system
may result in serious personal injury.

For cleaning the air bag pad covers, use
only a soft, dry cloth or one which has
been moistened with plain water.
Solvents or cleaners could adversely
affect the air bag covers and proper
deployment of the system.

If components of the air bag system must
be discarded, or if the vehicle must be
scrapped, certain safety precautions
must be observed. An authorized Kia
dealer knows these precautions and can
give you the necessary information.
Failure to follow these precautions and
procedures could increase the risk of
personal injury.

Adding equipment to or modify­ing your air bag-equipped vehicle

If you modify your vehicle by changing
your vehicle's frame, bumper system,
front end or side sheet metal or ride
height, this may affect the operation of
your vehicle's air bag system.

WARNING - Tampering

with SRS

Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS wiring, or other components of
the SRS system. Doing so could
result in the accidental inflation of
the air bags or by rendering the
SRS inoperative.
