Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING
僅 Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air bags 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 pillars 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. Use only
Kia Genuine Parts or those of an
equivalent standard to install bumper
guards or replace a bumper. If not, it
may adversely affect your vehicle's
collision and air bag deployment per-
formance.
