* The actual air bags in the vehicle may
differ from the illustration.
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 and driver's centre air
bag are supplemental to the driver's
and the passenger'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 condi-
tions (Only vehicle equipped with roll-
over sensor) severe enough to cause
significant injury to the vehicle occu-
pants.
僅 For best protection from the side air
bag system and to avoid being injured
by the deploying side air bag, both

front seat occupants and the second
row seat occupants should sit in an
upright position with the seat belt
properly fastened.
僅 Do not use any accessory seat covers.
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 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.
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.
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.
