The SRS consists of the following components:
1. Driver's front air bag module
2. Passenger's front air bag module
3. Side
impact air bag modules
4. Curtain air bag modules
5. Retractor pre-tensioner
assemblies*
6. Air bag warning light
7. SRS control module (SRSCM)
8. Front
impact sensors
9. Side impact sensors
10. PASSENGER AIR BAG “OFF” indicator
(Front passenger’s seat only)
11. Occupant detection system (Front passenger’s
seat only)
12. Driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt buckle sensors
13. Anchor
pre-tensioner assembly
*: if equipped
The SRSCM continually monitors all SRS components while the ignition switch is ON to determine if a crash impact is severe enough to require air bag deployment or pre-tensioner seat belt deployment.
The SRS air bag warning light on the instrument panel will illuminate for about 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, after which the air bag warning light should go out. If any of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a malfunction of the SRS. Have an authorized Kia dealer inspect the air bag system as soon as possible.
Driver’s front air bag (1)
The air bag modules are located both in the center of the steering wheel and in the front passenger's panel above the glove box. When the SRSCM detects a sufficiently severe impact to the front of the vehicle, it will automatically deploy the front air bags.
Driver’s front air bag (2)
Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will separate under pressure from the expansion of the air bags. Further opening of the covers then allows full inflation of the air bags.
Driver’s front air bag (3)
A fully inflated air bag, in combination with a properly worn seat belt, slows the driver's or the passenger's forward motion, reducing the risk of head and chest injury.
After complete inflation, the air bag immediately starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain forward visibility and the ability to steer or operate other controls.
