Kia Optima: Air Bag System Components

The main components of your SRS are:

• An air bag in the steering wheel.
• A second air bag in the passenger’s side dashboard.
• A diagnostic system that continually monitors system operation.
• An indicator light to warn you of a possible problem with the system.
• Emergency power backup in case the electrical system in your car is disconnected in a crash.

To indicate that your vehicle is equipped with driver’s and passenger’s side air bags, the air bag covers on the steering wheel and on the dashboard are marked “SRS AIR BAG.
