Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) care
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is virtually maintenance-free, so there are no parts you can safely service by yourself.

If the SRS air bag warning light does not appear, or continuously remains on, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
Any work on the SRS, such as removing, installing, repairing, or any work on the steering wheel, the front passenger’s panel, front seats and roof rails must be performed by an authorized Kia dealer. Improper handling of the SRS may result in serious personal injury.
To clean the air bag pad covers, use only a soft, dry cloth or one moistened with plain water. Solvents or cleaners can adversely affect the air bag covers and prevent the proper deployment of the system.
If you must discard components of the air bag system or scrap the vehicle, you must observe certain safety precautions. 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 bodily injury.
Tampering with SRS
Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring or other components of the SRS system. Doing so could result in the accidental inflation of the air bag or render the SRS inoperative.
Towing vehicle
Always have the ignition off and wait for 3 minutes when your Kia is being towed. The side air bags may inflate if the vehicle is tilted such as when being towed because of the rollover sensors in the vehicle.
