Knowing your vehicle
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
in order to protect smaller front passen-
ger seat occupants. For more detail, see
WARNING - Seat usage
•
•
•
Modification to the seat structure
can damage the seat position
sensor and cause the air bag to
deploy at a different level than
should be provided.
Do not place any objects under-
neath the front seats since they
could damage the seat position
sensor or interfere with the occu-
pant 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.

WARNING - Seating sen-
sors malfunction
If the seat position sensor is not
working properly, the air bag warn-
ing light ( BAGAIR ) on the instrument
panel will illuminate because the air
bag warning light is connected with
the seat position sensor. If the air
bag warning light does not illumi-
nate when the ignition key is turned
to the "ON" position, if it remains
illuminated after illuminating for
approximately 6 seconds, or if it
illuminates while the vehicle is
being driven, have an authorized
Kia dealer inspect your vehicle as
soon as possible.
• Have your car checked by a Kia
dealer as soon as possible if the
SRS warning light comes on.
Ignoring the indicator light can
result in serious or fatal injury.

should sit upright in their seats
with their feet on the floor.
