WARNING
• Even though your vehicle is
equipped with the occupant
detection system, do not install a
child restraint system in the front
passenger seat. The child could
be severely injured or killed if the
air bag deploys. Children are
afforded the most protection in
the event of an accident when
they are restrained by the proper
restraint system in the rear seat.
• If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator is illuminated
when the front passenger's seat
is occupied by a person of adult
size who is seated properly, or if
the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator" is not illuminated when
the front passenger's seat is
unoccupied or occupied by a very
small person, the occupant detec-
tion system is not working prop-
erly. Have your vehicle immedi-
ately inspected by your Kia dealer
if the occupant detection system
is not working properly.

• If a very low weight adult is seat-
ed in the front passenger seat, the
occupant detection system may
or may not turn off the right front
passenger air bag, depending
upon the person's seating posi-
tion and body type. Everyone in
your vehicle should wear a safety
belt properly -- whether or not
there is an air bag for that person.
• If the front seat passenger
changes their seating position
(for example,
by not sitting
upright, by sitting on the edge of
the seat, or by otherwise being
out of position), the "PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG OFF" indicator may
be turned on, and the passenger
air bag may not deploy in a colli-
sion. Always be sure to sit prop-
erly in the front passenger seat
and wear the safety belt properly
and do not do any of the follow-
ing.

CAUTION
If the occupant detection system is
not working properly, the air bag
warning light on the instrument
panel will illuminate because the
passenger’s air bag is connected
with the occupant detection system.
If there is a malfunction of the occu-
pant detection system,
the
"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indi-
cator will not illuminate and the
front passenger's air bag will deploy
in either a side or frontal crashes
even if there is child or no occupant
in the front passenger's seat.
Have an authorized Kia dealer
inspect the occupant detection sys-
tem with the SRS air bag system as
soon as possible if any of following
occur;
• The SRS air bag warning light
does not illuminate when the igni-
tion key is turned to "ON" posi-
tion.
• The SRS air bag warning light
remains illuminated after illumi-
nating or blinking for approxi-
mately 6 seconds.
• The SRS air bag warning light illu-
minates while the vehicle is being
driven.
