Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING
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 between the doors and
passengers when they are seated
on seats equipped with side and/or
curtain air bags.
NOTICE
Rollover sensor
Also, both side of the side air bags
deploy in certain rollover situa-
tions.
The side air bag may deploy when
the rollover sensor detects the
situation as a rollover.
WARNING
The side air bag and driver's
centre air bag are supplemental
to the driver's and the passen-
ger's seat belt systems and is not
a substitute for them. Therefore
your seat belts must be worn at
all times whilst the vehicle is in
motion. The air bags deploy only
in certain side impact or rollover
conditions (Only vehicle equipped
with rollover sensor) severe
enough to cause significant injury
to the vehicle occupants.

Air bag - supplemental restraint system
For best protection from the side
air bag system and to avoid being
injured by the deploying side air
bag, both front seat occupants
should sit in an upright position
with the seat belt properly fas-
tened.
Do not use any accessory seat
covers.
Use of seat covers could reduce or
prevent the effectiveness of the
system.
To prevent unexpected deploy-
ment of the side air bag and
driver's centre air bag that may
result in personal injury, avoid
impact to the side impact sensor
when the ignition key is on.
If the seat or seat cover is dam-
aged, have the system serviced
by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
WARNING
No attaching objects
Do not place any objects over the
air bag or between the air bag and
yourself. Also, do not attach any
objects around the area the air
bag inflates such as the door, side
door glass, front and rear pillar.
Do not place any objects between
the door and the seat. They may
