Features of your vehicle
The advanced SRS offers the ability to
control the air bag inflation with two lev-
els. A first stage level is provided for mod-
erate-severity impacts. A second stage
level is provided for more severe impacts.
According to the impact severity, seating
position and safety belt usage, the
SRSCM (SRS Control Module) controls
the air bag inflation. Failure to properly
wear safety belts can increase the risk
or severity of injury in an accident.
Additionally, your SRS is equipped with
an occupant classification system in the
front passenger’s seat. The occupant
classification system detects the pres-
ence of a passenger in the front passen-
ger’s seat and will turn off the front pas-
senger’s air bag under certain conditions.
For more detail, see “Occupant
Classification System” in this section.
CAUTION
WARNING
If the seat position sensor is not
working properly, the SRS air bag
warning light on the instrument
panel will illuminate even if there is
no malfunction of the SRS air bag
system, because the SRS air bag
warning light is connected with the
seat position sensor. If the SRS air
bag warning light does not illumi-
nate when the ignition key is turned
to the "ON" position, if it remains
illuminated after illuminating or
blinking for approximately 6 sec-
onds, or if it illuminates while the
vehicle is being driven, have an
authorized Kia dealer inspect the
seat position sensor and the
advanced SRS air bag system as
soon as possible.

Modification to the seat structure
can adversely affect the seat
position sensor and cause the air
bag to deploy at a different level
than should be provided.
Failure to properly wear safety
belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury by causing the
air bags to deploy at a different
level than should be provided.
Do not place any objects under-
neath the front seats which could
damage the seat position sensor
or interfere with the occupant
classification system.
Do not place any objects that may
cause magnetic fields near the
front seat. These may cause a
malfunction of the seat position
sensor.
