Safety features of your Kia
僅 In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bags would not
be able to provide any additional ben -
efit, and the sensors may not deploy
any air bags.
OMV023071N
僅 Just before an impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehicle
causing it to "ride" under a vehicle
with a higher ground clearance. Air
bags may not inflate in this "under-
ride" situation because deceleration
forces that are detected by sensors
may be significantly reduced by such
"under-ride" collisions.
OMV023072N
僅 Front air bags may not inflate in all
rollover accidents when the SRSCM
indicates that front air bag deploy -
ment would not provide additional
occupant protection.

僅 Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated to one area
and the full force of the impact is not
delivered to the sensors.
