2009 Kia Sportage Owners Manual

Knowing your vehicle
The advanced SRS  offers the ability
to control the airbag inflation with two
levels. A first  stage level  is provided
for moderate-severity impacts. A sec-
ond stage  level is provided for  more
severe impacts.
According   to  the   impact   severity,
seating   position    and   safety   belt
usage, the SRS Control Module con-
trols the airbag inflation.
Additionally,  your  SRS  is  equipped
with  an occupant  classification sys-
tem  in  the  front  passenger’s  seat.
The  occupant  classification  system
detects the presence of a passenger
in the front passenger’s seat and will
turn off  the front passenger’s  airbag
under certain  conditions  in order  to
protect smaller front  passenger seat
occupants.   For   more   detail,   see
“Occupant   Classification    System”
later in this section.
WARNING - Seating  sen-
sors malfunction
WARNING - Seat  usage
Modification to the seat  struc-
ture   can   damage   the   seat
position sensor and cause the
airbag to  deploy at a different
level than should be provided.
Do   not   place    any   objects
underneath   the   front   seats
since  they could  damage  the
seat position  sensor  or inter-
fere with  the occupant classi-
fication 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.

If the seat position sensor is not
working   properly,   the   airbag
warning light (     ) on the instru-
illuminate
ment
panel
will
because   the    airbag   warning
light is connected  with the seat
position  sensor.   If  the   airbag
warning  light  does   not  illumi-
nate  when  the  ignition   key  is
turned to the "ON" position, if  it
remains illuminated after  illumi-
nating for  approximately 6  sec-
onds,  or  if  it illuminates  while
the vehicle is being driven, have
an authorized Kia dealer inspect
your vehicle  as  soon as  possi-
ble.
