HOW T O USE THIS MANUAL
WARNING
A WARNING indicates a situation in
which harm, serious bodily injury or
death could result if the warning is
ignored.
CAUTION
A CAUTION indicates a situation in
which damage to your vehicle could
result if the caution is ignored.
CAUTION
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The
use of leaded fuel is detrimental to
the catalytic converter and will
damage the engine control system’s oxygen sensor and affect
emission control.
Never add any fuel system cleaning
agents to the fuel tank other than
what Kia has specified. (Consult an
Authorized Kia Dealer for details.)
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
13
Introduction
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.Pursuant
to EPA regulations, ethanol may be used
in your vehicle. Do not use gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol, and do
not use gasoline or gasohol containing
any methanol. Ethanol provides less
energy than gasoline and it attracts
water, and it is thus likely to reduce your
fuel efficiency and could lower your MPG
results. Methanol 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.Gasoline or gasohol containing
methanol.
2. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.
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 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.
No special break-in period is needed. By
following a f e w 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.
• Do not maintain a single speed for long
periods of time, either fast or slow.
Varying engine speed is needed to
properly break-in the engine.
• Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies, to allow the brakes to seat properly.
• Avoid full-throttle starts.
CAUTION
Never use gasohol which contains
methanol. Discontinue use of any
gasohol product which impairs drivability.

WARNING - Refueling dan-
gers
Automotive fuels are flammable
materials. When refueling, please
note the following guidelines carefully. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in severe personal
injury,severe burns or death by fire
or explosion.
• Before refueling note the location
of the Emergency Gasoline ShutOff, if available, at the gas station
facility.
• Before touching the fuel nozzle,
you should eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity discharge by touching another metal
part of the vehicle, a safe distance
away from the fuel filler nec k,nozzle, or other gas source.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refueling
since you can generate static
electricity by touching,rubbing or
sliding against any item or fabric
(polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)
capable of producing static electricity. Static electricity discharge
can ignite fuel vapors resulting in
rapid burning. If you must reenter the vehicle, you should
once again eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity discharge by touching a metal part
of the vehicle, away from the fuel
filler neck, nozzle or other gasoline source.
• When using a portable fuel container be sure to place the container on the ground prior to refueling. Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. Once refueling has begun, contact with the
vehicle should be maintained
until the filling is complete.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Use only portable plastic fuel
containers designed to carry and
store gasoline.
• Do not use cellular phones while
refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellular phones can potentially ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire.
• When refueling, always shut the
engine off. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling is
complete, check to make sure the
filler cap and filler door are
securely closed, before starting
the engine.
• DO NOT use matches or a lighter
and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit
cigarette in your vehicle while at a

Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about
the vehicle in a collision and causing injury to the vehicle occupants.
Special care should be taken of
objects placed in the rear seats,
since those may hit the front seat
occupants in a frontal collision.
CAUTION - Rear safety
belts
When returning the rear seatbacks
to the upright position, remember
to return the rear shoulder belts to
their proper position. Routing the
safety belt webbing through the
rear safety belt guides will help
keep the belts from being trapped
behind or under the seats.
WARNING - Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
transaxle is in P and the parking
brake is applied whenever loading
or unloading cargo. Failure to take
these steps may allow the vehicle to
move if shift lever is inadvertently
moved to another position.
CAUTION - Avoid damag-
ing rear safety buckles
When you fold the rear seatback or
put luggage on the rear seat cushion, insert the buckle in the pocket
between the rear seatback and
cushion. Doing so can prevent the
buckle from being damaged by the
rear seatback or luggage.
CAUTION
Before changing seat position, slip
the seat belt into the trim panel and
close the power outlet cap.

Safety belt restraint system
We strongly recommend that the driver
and all passengers be properly
restrained at all times by using the safety
belts provided with the vehicle. Proper
use of the safety belts decreases the risk
of severe injury or death in accidents or
sudden stops. In most states, and in
Canada, the law requires their use.
All seats have lap/shoulder belts.Inertial
locks in the safety belt retractors allo w all
of the lap/shoulder safety belts to remain
unlocked during normal vehicle operation. This allows the occupants some
freedom of movement and increased
comfort while using the safety belts. If a
force is applied to the vehicle, such as a
strong stop, a sharp turn, or a collision,
the safety belt retractors will automatically lock the safety belts.
Since the inertial locks do not require a
collision in order to lock up, you may
become aware of the safety belts locking
while braking or going around sharp corners.
Always use the rear seat position(s) to
install your child restraint(s).
The rear (or front passenger) safety belts
use a special auto-lock feature designed
to allow a child restraint to be used in
these positions without an added locking
clip. They normally lock only under
extreme or emergency conditions (emergency lock mode). However they can be
adjusted so that they remain fixed and
locked when a child restraint system is
placed in these positions. (Use this autolock mode only to secure a child
restraint, never f or passengers restr ained
by the safety belts.)
The drivers safety belt can only operate
in the emergency lock mode.
Safety belts provide the best restraint
when:
• The seatback is upright.
• The occupant is sitting upright (not
slouched).
• The lap belt is snug across the hips.
• The shoulder belt is snug across the
chest.
• The knees are straight forward.
SAFETY BELTS
WARNING - Safety belts
To minimize the risk of serious or
fatal injury in an accident, the driver
and all passengers should use the
appropriate safety restraints for
their age and size. The presence of
air bags does not change the need
to be properly restrained by a safety belt or size-appropriate child
restraint. In fact, air bags are
designed to work the best when
passengers are correctly restrained
in the vehicle.
• Be sure you are familiar with the
information in this section,
including the information on
infant and child restraints.
• Read the safety warnings on the
sun visors of your vehicle also.
WARNING - Child restraint
in front seat
Never install a child restraint system in the front passenger position,
as an inflating air bag could cause
serious or fatal injury to a child in
that position.
363
Features of your vehicle
WARNING - After a colli-
sion
• Lap/shoulder belt assemblies
may be stretched or damaged
when subjected to the stress and
forces of a collision.
• The entire restraint system
should be inspected following
any collision. All belts, retractors,
anchors and hardware damaged
by a collision should be replaced
before the vehicle is operated
again.
WARNING - Cargo area
Passengers should never be
allowed to ride in the cargo area of
a vehicle. No safety belts are provided for the cargo area. Persons
riding in the vehicle without a fastened safety belt are much more
likely to suffer serious bodily injury
or death during an accident.
WARNING - Twisted belts
A twisted or jammed safety belt
cannot restrain you properly. If you
cannot untwist or unjam the safety
belt, have an authorized Kia dealer
service it immediately. Never drive
or ride with a twisted or jammed
safety belt.
WARNING - Belt use
Safety belts must be used correctly
to work properly in an accident.
Each seating position in your vehicle has a specific safety belt assembly that includes a buckle and
tongue designed to be used together.
Failure to heed these warnings and
follow these instructions will
increase the risk and severity of
injuries and the likelihood of death
in an accident.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Use the shoulder portion of the
safety belt on the outside shoulder only . Never wear the shoulder
portion under the arm or place it
between your back and seatback.
• Never swing the safety belt
around your neck to fit over the
inside shoulder.
• Never wear the shoulder portion
of the safety belt across the neck
or face.
• Wear the lap portion as low as
possible. Be sure that the lap belt
fits snugly around the hips.
Never wear a lap portion of a
lap/shoulder belt over your waist;
it should always go over the
stronger area of your hips.
• Never use a single safety belt for
more than one person.
• The front seatbacks should
always remain in a comfortable,
upright position when the vehicle
is moving.

Restraint 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.
Infants and small children
To increase their safety, infants and
young children should always be
restrained by a restraint system
approved for their age and size.
Never allow a child to stand or kneel on
the seat of a moving vehicle.Never allow
a safety belt to be placed around both a
child and an adult or around two children
at the same time.
It is best for children to be seated in the
rear seats.
Many companies manufacture child
restraint systems (often called child
seats) for infants and small children. An
acceptable child restraint system must
always satisfy Canadian Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards. Make sure that any
child-restraint system you use in your
vehicle is labelled as complying with
Federal Safety Standards.
The child-restraint system should be
chosen to fit both the size of the child and
the size of the vehicle seat.Be sure to follow any instructions provided by the

Features of your vehicle
Larger children
As children grow, they may need to use
new child-restraint systems, including
larger child seats or booster seats, which
are appropriate for their increased size.
A child who has outgrown availab le childrestraint systems should use the belts
provided in the vehicle. When seated in
the rear outboard seats, the child should
be restrained by the lap/shoulder belt.
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. In addition, aftermarket devices are available from independent manufacturers which help pull
the shoulder belt down and away from
the child’s face or neck.
WARNING - Infants and
young children
• Infants and young children are at
much greater risk of serious injury
or death in an accident or sudden
stop if they are unrestrained or
restrained improperly. Follow all
instructions in this section and the
instructions that came with an
approved child safety system.The
child restraint must be correctly
installed in the vehicle, and the
child must be correctly placed in
the child restraint.
• All children under 12 are safest in
the back seat.
• Never install a rear facing infant
seat in the front passenger position. The baby will be injured or
killed by the air bag if it deploys.

Pre-tensioner seat belt
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's and
front passenger's pre-tensioner seat
belts (retractor pretensioner and EFD
(Emergency Fastening De vice)).The pretensioner seat belts may be activated,
when a frontal collision is severe enough,
together with the air bags.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if
the occupant tries to lean forward too
quickly, the seat belt retractor may 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.
(1) Retractor Pretensioner
The purpose of the retractor preten-
sioner is to make sure that the shoulder belts fit in tightly against the occupant's upper body in certain frontal
collisions.
(2) EFD (Emergency Fastening Device)
The purpose of the EFD is to make
sure that the pelvis belts fit in tightly
against the occupant's lower body in
certain frontal collisions.
If the system senses excessive tension
on the driver or passenger's seat belt
when the pre-tensioner system activates,
the load limiter inside the retractor pretensioner will release some of the pressure on the affected seat belt.

We strongly recommend the use of a
child seat or infant seat for small children
and babies, and it is required by law in
almost all states.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.
Children riding in the car should sit on
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.
Child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts
or the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder
belt or by a LATCH system (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 car and
seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all
the instructions provided by the child
seat manufacturer when installing the
child restraint system.

WARNING - Child
restraints
• A child restraint system must be
placed in the rear seat. Never
install a child or infant seat on the
front passenger's seat.
Should an accident occur and
cause the passenger air bag to
deploy, it could severely injure or
kill an infant or child seated in the
front seat.
• Since a safety belt or child
restraint system can become very

• Children who are too large to be
in a child restraint should sit in
the rear seat and be restrained
with the available lap/shoulder
belts.
• When using the vehicles
lap/shoulder safety belts, always
make sure that the shoulder belt
portion is positioned midway
over the shoulder, never across
the neck or behind the back. The
lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt must always be positioned as low as possible on the
child's hips and as snug as possible.
• If the vehicle’s safety belt will not
properly fit the child, you must
use an appropriate child restraint
or booster seat in the rear.

Installing a child restraint system
For safety reasons, we recommend that
the child restraint system be used in the
rear seats.
Since all passenger safety belts move
freely under normal conditions and only
lock under extreme or emergency conditions (emergency lock mode), you must
manually change these safety belts to
the auto lock mode to secure a child
restraint.
WARNING - Child seat
installation
• Before installing the child
restraint system, read the instructions supplied by the child
restraint system manufacturer.
• If the safety belt does not operate
as described in this section, have
the system checked immediately
by your authorized Kia dealer.
• Failure to observe this manual's
instructions regarding child
restraint system and the instructions provided with the child
restraint system could increase
the chance and/or severity of
injury in an accident.
WARNING
Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger
seat, because of the danger that an
inflating passenger side air bag
could impact the rear-facing child
restraint and kill the child.
(Continued)
• Never allow a child to stand up or
kneel while the vehicle is moving.
• Never use an infant carrier or
child seat that "hooks" over a
seatback. It will not provide adequate protection in an accident.
• Never allow a child to be held
while they are in a moving vehicle, as this could result in serious
injury to the child in the event of
an accident or a sudden stop.
Holding a child in a moving vehicle does not provide the child
with any protection during an
accident, even if the person holding the child is wearing a seat
belt.
• After an accident, have an authorized Kia dealer check the child
restraint system, seat belt, tether
anchor and lower anchor.
• If there is not enough space to
place the child restraint system
because of the driver's seat,
install the child restraint system
in the rear right seat.

Securing a child restraint seat
Tether anchor system
Child restraint hook holders are located
on the back of the rear seat cushions.
1. Route the child restraint seat strap
over the seatback.
For vehicles with adjustable headrest,
route the tether strap under the headrest and between the headrest posts,
otherwise route the tether strap over
the top of the seatback.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to the
appropriate child restraint hook holder
and tighten to secure the seat.
WARNING - Tether strap
If the tether strap is secured incorrectly ,the child restraint seat may not
be restrained properly in the event of
a collision. Do not mount more than
one child restraint seat to a tether
anchorage, since the anchorage can
then fail in a collision.
WARNING - Child restraint
check
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 come away
causing death or injury.

Child seat lower anchors
Some child seat manufacturers make
child restraint seats that are labeled as
LATCH or LATCH-compatible child
restraint system. 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.
LATCH anchors have been provided in
your vehicle. The LATCH anchors are
located in the left and right outboard rear
seating positions. Their locations are
shown in the illustration. There is no
LATCH anchor provided for the center
rear seating position.
The LATCH anchors are located between
the seatback and the seat cushion of the
rear seat left and right outboard seating
positions.
WARNING
- Child restraint anchorage
• Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for
adult seat belts or harnesses or
for attaching other items or
equipment to the vehicle.
• The tether strap may not work
properly if attached somewhere
other than the correct tether
anchor.
OVQ036231NOVQ037300N-1
Features of your vehicle

Follow the child seat manufacturer’s
instructions to properly install child
restraint seats with LATCH or LATCHcompatible attachments.
Once you have installed the LATCH child
restraint, assure that the seat is properly
attached to the LATCH and tether
anchors.Also, test the child restraint seat
before you place the child in it. Tilt the
seat from side to side. Also tr y to tug the
seat forward.Check to see if the anchors
hold the seat in place.
Placing a passenger safety belt
into the auto lock mode
The use of the auto lock mode will
ensure that the normal movement of the
child in the vehicle does not cause the
safety belt to be pulled out and loosen
the firmness of its hold on the child
restraint system. To secure a child
restraint system, use the following procedure.
WARNING
If the child restraint is not anchored
properly, there is a significant risk
of a child being seriously injured or
killed in a collision.
WARNING - LATCH lower
anchors
LA TCH lo wer anchor s are onl y to be
used with the left and right rear outboard seating positions. Never
attempt to attach an LATCH
equipped seat in the center seating
position. You may damage the
anchors or the anchors may fail and
break in a collision.
WARNING
Install the child restraint seat fully
rearward against the seatback with
the seatback in a vertical position,
not reclined.
WARNING
• When using the vehicle's
"LATCH" system to install a child
restraint system in the rear seat,
all unused vehicle rear seat belt
metal latch plates or tabs must be
latched securely in their seat belt
buckles and the seat belt webbing
must be retracted behind the
child restraint to prevent the child
from reaching and taking hold of
unretracted seat belts. Unlatched
metal latch plates or tabs may
allow the child to reach the unretracted seat belts which may
result in strangulation and a serious injury or death to the child in
the child restraint.
• Do not place anything around the
lower anchors. Also make sure
that the seat belt is not caught in
the lower anchors.
CAUTION
Do not allow the rear seat belt webbing to get scratched or pinched by
the Child-seat latch and LATCH
anchor during the installation.

Installing a child restraint system by
lap/shoulder belt
To install a child restraint system on the
outboard or center rear seats, do the following:
1. Place the child restraint system in the
seat and route the lap/shoulder belt
around or through the restraint, following the restraint manufacturer’s
instructions. Be sure the safety belt
webbing is not twisted.
2. Fasten the lap/shoulder belt latch into
the buckle.Listen for the distinct “click”
sound.
Position the release button so that it is
easy to access in case of an emergency.
3. Pull the shoulder por tion of the safety
belt all the way out.When the shoulder
portion of the safety belt is fully
extended, it will shift the retractor to
the “Auto Lock” (child restraint) mode.

4. Slowly allow the shoulder portion of
the safety belt to retract and listen for
an audible “clicking” or “ratcheting”
sound.This indicates that the retractor
is in the “Auto Loc k”mode. If no distinct
sound is heard, repeat steps 3 and 4.
5. Remove as much slack from the belt
as possible by pushing down on the
child restraint system while feeding the
shoulder belt back into the retractor.
6. Push and pull on the child restraint
system to confirm that the safety belt is
holding it firmly in place. If it is not,
release the safety belt and repeat
steps 2 through 6.
7. Double check that the retractor is in
the “Auto Lock” mode by attempting to
pull more of the safety belt out of the
retractor.If you cannot, the retractor is
in the “Auto Lock” mode.
To remove the child restraint, press the
release button on the buckle and then
pull the lap/shoulder belt out of the
restraint and allow the safety belt to
retract fully.
When the safety belt is allowed to
retract to its fully stowed position, the
retractor will automatically switch
from the “Auto Lock” mode to the
emergency lock mode for normal
adult usage.
MMSA3029 MMSA3030
WARNING - Auto lock
mode
The lap/shoulder belt automatically
returns to the “emergency lock
mode” whenever the belt is allowed
to retract fully. Therefore, the preceding seven steps must be followed each time a child restraint is
installed.
If the safety belt is not placed in the
“Auto lock” mode, severe injury or
death could occur to the child
and/or other occupants in the vehicle in a collision, since the child
restraint will not be effectively held
in place.

What your air bag system does
Driver’s air bag and front passenger’s air
bag are designed to supplement the protection offered by the safety belt in certain frontal collisions. Likewise, side air
bag and curtain air bags are designed to
supplement the protection offered by the
safety belt in side collisions. Safety belts
are designed to reduce the injury of the
driver or passengers in case of impact or
collision. No safety belt or air bag system
can completely eliminate injuries that
may cause in collisions or impacts. To
help reduce impact on driver or passengers in any collision, safety belts must be
correctly worn.
What your air bag system does
not do
The air bag system is designed to supplement the protection offered by the
safety belt system. IT IS NOT A SUB-
STITUTE FOR THE SAFETY BELT.
The importance of using
safety belts
There are four very important reasons to
use safety belts ev en with an air bag supplemental restraint system.They:
• help keep you in the proper position
(away from the air bag) when it inflates .
• reduce the risk of harm in rollover, side
impact (vehicles not equipped with
side and curtain air bags) or rear
impact collisions, because an air bag is
not designed to inflate in such situations and even a side curtain air bag is
designed to inflate only in certain side
impact collisions.
• reduce the risk of harm in frontal or
side collisions which are not severe
enough to actuate the air bag supplemental restraint system.
• reduce the risk of being ejected from
your vehicle.
385
Features of your vehicle
Occupant detection system
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.
The occupant detection system is
designed to detect the presence of a
properly-seated occupant and determine
if the front passenger's air bag should be
enabled (may inflate) or not.
Only the front passenger front air bag is
controlled by the Occupant Detection
System.
WARNING - Air bags &
safety belts
• Even in vehicles with air bags,
you and your passengers must
always wear the safety belts provided in order to minimize the risk
and severity of injury in the event
of a collision or rollover.
• Always wear your safety belt. It
can help keep you away from the
air bags during heavy braking
just before a collision.
• If occupants are not wearing safety belts or correctly seated, they
cannot be protected, and thus
face serious injury or death.
• Driver’s and front passenger’s air
bag are designed to inflate only in
certain frontal collision, and side
and curtain air bags are designed
to inflate in certain side impacts.
Frontal air bags will generally not
provide protection in side impacts
(vehicles not equipped with side
and curtain air bags) or rear
impacts, rollovers, less severe
frontal collisions.They will not provide protection from later impacts
in a multi-impact collision.

• If your vehicle has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g.
soaked carpeting/standing water
on the floor of the vehicle, etc.) or
if your vehicle has become flood
damaged in any way, do not
attempt to start the vehicle or put
the key in the ignition before disconnecting the battery.
Disregarding this precaution may
cause air bag deployment, which
could result in serious personal
injury or death. If your vehicle is
subjected to flooded conditions,
before starting the vehicle, have
the vehicle towed to an authorized Kia dealer for inspection
and necessary repairs.

Main components of occupant detection system
• Detection devices located under the
front passenger seat frame.
• Electronic system to determine
whether passenger air bag systems
(both front and side) should be activated or deactivated.
• A indicator light ocated on the instrument panel which illuminates the words
“PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” passenger air bag system is deactivated.
• The instr ument panel air bag indicator
light is interconnected with the occupant detection system.
If there is no passenger in the front passenger seat or if the passenger in the
front passenger seat is very light, (such
as a child), the front PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator may illuminate.
When this indicator is ON, the front passenger’s air bag will not operate.
If there is no passenger in the front passenger's seat, the PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator comes on, and the
system shuts off the front passenger's
front air bag.
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 OCS 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.

belt properly -- whether or not
there is an air bag for that person.
• If the front seat passenger
changes their seating position
(for example, by not sitting
upright, by sitting on the edge of
the seat, or by otherwise being
out of position), the "PASSENGER AIR BA G OFF" indicator ma y
be turned on, and the passenger
air bag may not deploy in a collision. Always be sure to sit properly in the front passenger seat
and wear the safety belt properly
and do not do any of the following.
(Continued)
CAUTION
If the occupant detection system is
not working properly, the air bag
warning light on the instrument
panel will illuminate because the

Air bag system components
The main components of your SRS are:
• To indicate that your vehicle is
equipped with air bags, the corresponding air bag covers are marked
with “SRS AIR BAG”.
- Driver’s air bag
- Passenger’s air bag
- Side air bag
- Curtain air bag
• A diagnostic system that continually
monitors the system operation.
• An indicator light to warn you of a possible problem with the system.
• Emergency power backup in case your
car’s electrical system is disconnected
in a crash.
The SRS uses a collection of sensors to
gather information about the driver’s seat
position, the driver’s and front passenger’ s
safety belt usage and impact severity.
The driver’s seat position sensor, which
is installed on the seat track, determine if
the seat is fore or aft of a reference position. Similarly, the safety belt usage sensors determine if the driver and front passenger’s safety belts are fastened.These
sensors provide the ability to control the
SRS deployment based on how close the
driver’s seat is to the steering wheel,
whether or not the safety belts are fastened, and the severity of the impact.
(Continued)
• If the driver brakes the vehicle
heavily prior to an impact, unbelted occupants will be thrown forward. If the front passenger is not
wearing the safety belts, they will
be directly in front of the storage
compartment when deployment
occurs. In that situation, serious
injury or death is possible.
• Never allow front passenger to
put their hands, feet or face on or
close to the instrument panel. In
the event of air bag deployment,
such a mispositioned occupant
would be likely to suffer severe
injury or death.
• Never allow children, pregnant
women or weak persons to sit in
the front passenger seat. Do not
put child restraint system on the
front passenger's seat either.
They may be seriously injured by
the air bag inflation when air bag
deploys.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Do not put objects or stickers on
the instrument panel. Do not
apply any accessory to the front
windshield. Do not install aftermarket mirrors or accessories on
the factory-installed rearview mirror. Any of these could interfere
with the deployment of the air bag
or could hit your body at high
speed and cause severe bodily
injury and even death.
