SRS care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and so there are no parts you can safely service by yourself.
If the SRS airbag warning light does not appear, or continuously remains on, have the system inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends that you visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
-
Modification to SRS components or wiring, including the addition of any kind of badges to the pad covers or modifications to the body structure, can adversely affect SRS performance and lead to possible injury.
-
For cleaning the airbag pad covers, use only a soft, dry cloth or one which has been moistened with plain water. Solvents or cleaners could adversely affect the airbag covers and proper deployment of the system.
-
No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules on the steering wheel, instrument panel, and the front passenger's panel above the glove box, because any such object could cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the airbags to inflate.
-
If the airbags inflate, have the system replaced by a professional workshop. Kia recommends that you visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
-
Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring, or other components of the SRS system. Doing so could result in injury, due to accidental inflation of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inoperative.
-
If components of the airbag system must be discarded, or if the vehicle must be scrapped, certain safety precautions must be observed. An authorised Kia dealer knows these precautions and can give you the necessary information. Failure to follow these precautions and procedures could increase the risk of personal injury.
-
If your car was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water on flooring, you shouldn't try to start the engine; in this case, have your vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends that you contact an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
