Kia Picanto: Air bag - supplemental restraint system / SRS care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free
and so there are no parts you can safely
service by yourself. If the SRS air bag
warning light does not illuminate, or
continuously remains on, have the system
inspected by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
- 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 air bag pad covers,
use only a soft, dry cloth or
one which has been moistened
with plain water. Solvents or cleaners
could adversely affect the air
bag covers and proper deployment
of the system.
- No objects should be placed over
or near the air bag 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 air bags to inflate.
- If the air bags inflate, have the
system replaced by a professional
workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized
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 air bags or by rendering
the SRS inoperative.
- If components of the air bag system
must be discarded, or if the
vehicle must be scrapped, certain
safety precautions must be observed.
An authorized 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 to
contact an authorized Kia dealer/
service partner.
