Safety features of your vehicle
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact
collisions, depending on the crash
severity, angle, speed and point of
impact. The curtain air bags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact
situations, collisions from the front
or rear of the vehicle or in most roll-
over situations.
WARNING
Do not hang heavy items on the
coat hooks for safety reasons.
In order for side and curtain air
bags to provide the best protec-
tion, both front seat occupants
and both outboard rear occupants
should sit in an upright position
with the seat belts properly fas-
tened.
Importantly, children should sit in
a proper child restraint system in
the rear seat.
When children are seated in the
rear outboard seats, they must
be seated in the proper child
restraint system.
Make sure to put the child
restraint system as far away
from the door side as possible,
and secure the child restraint sys-
tem in a locked position.
Air bag - supplemental restraint system
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 passen-
gers when they are seated on
seats equipped with side and/or
curtain air bags.
Never try to open or repair any
components of the curtain air bag
system. If necessary, have the
system serviced by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorised Kia dealer/ser-
vice partner.
Failure to follow the above men-
tioned instructions can result in
injury or death to the vehicle occu-
pants in an accident.
WARNING
No attaching objects
Do not place any objects over the
air bag. Also, do not attach any
objects around the area the air
bag inflates such as the door, side
door glass, front and rear pillar,
roof side rail.
Do not hang hard or breakable
objects on the clothes hanger.
