• When children are seated in the
rear outboard seats, they must be
seated in the proper child restraint
system.
Make sure to put the child re‐
straint system as far away from
the door side as possible, and se‐
cure the child restraint system in a
locked position.
• Do not allow the passengers to
lean their heads or bodies onto
doors, put their arms on the
doors, stretch their arms out of
the window, or place objects be‐
tween the doors and passengers
when they are seated on seats
equipped with side and/or curtain
air bags.
• Never try to open or repair any
components of the curtain air bag
system. If necessary, have the
system serviced by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.
Failure to follow the above men‐
tioned instructions can result in in‐
jury or death to the vehicle occu‐
pants in an accident.

• Do not place any objects over the
air bag. Also, do not attach any
objects around the area the air bag
inflates such as the door, side door
glass, front and rear pillar, roof
side rail.
• Do not hang hard or breakable ob‐
jects on the clothes hanger.
Why didn't my air bag go off in
a collision? (Inflation and non-
inflation conditions of the air
bag)
There are many types of accidents in
which the air bag would not be expec‐
ted to provide additional protection.
These include rear impacts, second or

dents, as well as low speed impacts.
