SRS Care

The SRS requires virtually no maintenance, and there are no parts that can be safely serviced by the owner. If the SRS airbag warning light does not illuminate or remains on continuously, contact an authorized Kia dealer immediately to have the vehicle inspected.

Any work on the SRS, such as removal, installation, repair, or any work on the steering wheel, front passenger panel, and front seats must be performed by an authorized Kia dealer. Improper handling of the SRS may result in serious personal injury.

To clean the airbag pads, use only a soft, dry cloth or a cloth dampened with plain water. Solvents or cleaning agents may adversely affect the airbag covers and the correct operation of the system.

WARNING! SRS Interference

Do not tamper with or disconnect the SRS wiring or other SRS components. This may cause accidental airbag deployment or render the SRS inoperative.

WARNING - Towing the vehicle

Always keep the engine start/stop button in the OFF position when the vehicle is being towed. Side airbags may deploy if the vehicle is tilted (for example, during towing) due to the rollover sensors in the vehicle.

If SRS components must be disposed of, or if the vehicle is to be scrapped, certain precautions must be observed. An authorized Kia dealer is familiar with these precautions and can provide you with the necessary information. Failure to observe these precautions and procedures may increase the risk of injury.

Adding Equipment or Modifying Your Vehicle with an Airbag System

If you modify your vehicle by replacing the frame, bumper system, front end or side sheet metal, or ride height, this may affect the operation of the airbag system.
