Knowing your vehicle
When repairing or scrapping the
vehicle
• Repairing the steering wheel,
instrument panel, center console
or roofs, or installing a car audio
system around the center console
or painting the front metal sheet
could disable the airbag system.
Have such repairs and mainte-
nance performed by an authorized
Kia dealer.
• Special care must be taken in
scrapping or junking an airbag-
equipped vehicle. Always refer
such activities to a qualified profes-
sional.
