The system detects a person who is generally adult size as an adult, thus allowing the pas-
senger air bag to deploy. When a smaller adult sits in the front passenger seat, the system
may detect their body shape as that of a child, thus preventing air bag deployment.
When a larger child who has outgrown a child restraint system sits in the front passenger seat,
the system may recognize him/her as an adult depending on his/her body shape or seating
position, thus permitting air bag deployment.
Have an authorized Kia dealer
inspect the occupant classification
system with the SRS air bagsystem
assoon as possible if any of follow-
ing occur;
*
CAUTION
• The SRS air bag warning light
does not illuminate when the igni-
tion key is turned to "ON" posi-
tion.
If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator illuminates or blinks continu-
ously when a person of adult size sits in the front passenger'sseat, it could
be because that person isn'tsitting properly in theseat. If this happens, turn
the vehicle off, make sure the seat back is not reclined, have the passenger
center on the seat cushion, with legs comfortably extended, and the safety
belt properly positioned. Restart the vehicle and have the person remain in
this position long enough to allow the system to detect the person and acti-
vate the passenger air bag.
