僅 Driver's And Passenger's Front Air Bag - Kia Sportage 2024 Owner's Manual

Safety features of your vehicle
instruct the passenger to reposition him -
self in the seat. Failure to properly posi -
tion yourself may lead to air bag
deactivation resulting in air bag non-
deployment in a collision. If the PASSEN -
GER AIR BAG " " indicator remains
illuminated after the passenger reposi -
tions themselves properly and the car is
restarted, it is recommended that pas -
senger move to the rear seat because
the passenger's front air bag will not
deploy.
NOTICE
The PASSENGER AIR BAG "
tor appears for about 4 seconds after
the ENGINE START/STOP button is
turned to the ON position after the vehi -
cle is started. If the front passenger seat
is occupied, the occupant detection sen -
sor will then classify the front passenger
after several more seconds.
僅 Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the Occupant Detection System,
never install a Child Restraint System
in the front passenger's seat. A
deploying air bag can forcefully strike
a child resulting in serious injuries or
death.
Any child age 13 and under should ride
in the rear seat. Children too large for
child restraints should use the available
lap/shoulder belts. No matter what type
of crash, children of all ages are safer
when restrained in the rear seat.
If the ODS is not working properly, the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) air
bag warning light on the instrument
panel will appear because the passen -
ger's front air bag is connected with the
ODS. If there is a malfunction of the ODS
Air bag - advanced Supplemental Restraint System
the PASSENGER AIRBAG "
will not appear. In this case, the passen -
ger's front airbag will inflate in frontal
impact crashes even if there is no occu -
pant in the front passenger seat.
