Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING
僅 Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air bag or
sensors are installed.
This may cause unexpected air bag
deployment, which could result in
serious personal injury or death.
僅 If the installation location or angle of
the sensors is altered in any way, the
air bags may deploy when they
should not or they may not deploy
when they should, causing severe
injury or death.
Therefore, do not try to perform main-
tenance on or around the air bag sen-
sors. Have the system serviced by a
professional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
僅 Problems may arise if the sensor
installation angles are changed due to
the deformation of the front bumper,
body or B pillar where side collision
sensors are installed. In this case,
have the system serviced by a profes-
sional workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorised Kia dealer/ service
partner.
僅 Your vehicle has been designed to
absorb impact and deploy the air
bag(s) in certain collisions. Installing
bumper guards or replacing a bumper
with non-genuine parts may
adversely affect your vehicles collision
and air bag deployment performance.

Air bag inflation conditions
Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags are designed to
inflate in a frontal collision
depending on the intensity,
speed or angles of impact of
OKYI031033
the front collision.
Side and/or curtain air bags
are designed to inflate when
an impact is detected by side
collision sensors depending
on the strength, speed or
OKYI031026
angles of impact resulting
from a side impact collision.
INFORMATION
僅 Side and curtain air bags (if
equipped)
Side and curtain air bags are designed
to inflate when an impact is detected
by side impact sensors depending on
the severity of impact resulting from
side collision.
Although the front air bags (driver's
and front passenger's air bags) are
designed to inflate only in frontal colli-
sions, they also may inflate in other
types of collisions if the front impact
sensors detect a sufficient impact.
Side air bags (side and/or curtain air
bags) are designed to inflate only in
side impact collisions, but they may
inflate in other collisions if the side
impact sensors detect a sufficient
impact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved
roads or sidewalks, air bags may
deploy. Drive carefully on unimproved
roads or on surfaces not designed for
vehicle traffic to prevent unintended
air bag deployment.
