Kia PICANTO 2023 Manual page 71

Safety features of your vehicle
bags are not designed to deploy in all
side impact situations.
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
if equipped with rollover sensor
僅 Also, both side of the side air bags
deploy in certain rollover situations.
僅 The side air bag may deploy when the
rollover sensor detects the situation
as a rollover.
WARNING
僅 The side air bag is supplemental to
the seat belt systems and is not a sub-
stitute 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
*1
rollover conditions severe enough to
cause significant injury to the vehicle
occupants.
僅 For best protection from the side air
bag system and to avoid being injured
by the deploying side air bag, both
front and all rear (if equipped) seat
occupants should sit in an upright
position with the seat belt properly
fastened.
僅 Do not use any accessory seat covers.
*1.Only vehicle equipped with rollover
sensor.
Air bag - supplemental restraint system
僅 Use of seat covers could reduce or
prevent the effectiveness of the sys-
tem.
僅 To prevent unexpected deployment
of the side air bag that may result in
personal injury, avoid impact to the
side impact sensor when the ignition
switch is on.
僅 If the seat or seat cover is damaged,
have the system serviced by a profes-
sional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
僅 Never place or insert any object into
any small opening near side airbag
labels attached to the vehicle seats.
When the air bag deploys, the object
may affect the deployment and result
in unexpected accident or bodily
harm.
WARNING
No attaching objects
僅 Do not place any objects over the air
bag or between the air bag and your-
self. Also, do not attach any objects
around the area the air bag inflates
such as the door, side door glass,
front and rear pillar.
僅 Do not place any objects between the
door and the seat. They may become
dangerous projectiles if the side air
bag inflates.
僅 Do not install any accessories on the
side or near the side air bags.
僅 Do not hang heavy items on the coat
hooks for safety reasons.
