Air Bag System Components
(Continued)
The main components of your vehicle’s SRS are:
•
Always wear your safety belt. It can help
keep you away from the air bags during
heavy braking just before a collision.
Air bags are designed to inflate only in
severe frontal collisions and will generally
not provide protection in side or rear
impacts, rollovers or less severe frontal colli-
sions. They will also not provide protection
from later impacts in a multi-impact colli-
sion.

•
•
One air bag in the steering wheel for the driver, and
another in the dashboard for the front passenger.
A diagnostic system that continually monitors sys-
tem operation.
An indicator light to warn you of a possible problem
with the system.
Emergency power backup in case your car’s electri-
cal system is disconnected in a crash.
•
•
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 discon-
necting the battery. This may cause air bag
deployment, which could result in serious
personal injury or death. Have the vehicle
towed to an authorized Kia dealer for
inspection and necessary repairs.
