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.

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 ( BAGAIR ) on the instru-
ment
panel
will
illuminate
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.

Automotive readers have rated 2007 Kia Sportage Owners Manual 3.5 out of 5.0 based on 4 product reviews. I purchased this vehicle and needed a manual. I really can't rate what I don't have.
Haven't got it yet
it is great to have this site, thank you.
Great service. I purchased a used KIA with no manual and this answered all my questions.
Thank You
