Kia XCeed 2020 Owner's Manual page 81

Safety features of your vehicle
engraved on the air bag pad cover
in the steering wheel and the
passenger's side front panel pad
above the glove box.
The SRS consists of air bags installed
under the pad covers in the center
of the steering wheel and the
passenger's side front panel above
the glove box.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide
the vehicle's driver and/or the front
passenger with additional protection
than that offered by the seat belt
system alone in case of a frontal
impact of sufficient severity.
WARNING
The driver's hands should be placed
on the steering wheel at the 9:00
and 3:00 positions. The passenger's
arms and hands should be placed on
their laps.
WARNING
Always use seat belts and child
restraints - every trip, every time,
everyone! Air bags inflate with
considerable force and in the blink
of an eye. Seat belts help keep
occupants in proper position to
obtain maximum benefit from
the air bag. Even with air bags,
improperly belted and unbelted
occupants can be severely injured
when the air bag inflates. Always
follow the precautions about seat
Air bag - supplemental restraint system
belts, air bags and occupant safety
contained in this manual.
To reduce the chance of serious
or fatal injuries and receive the
maximum safety benefit from your
restraint system:
• Never place a child in any child or
booster seat in the front seat.
• ABC - Always Buckle Children in
the back seat. It is the safest place
for children of any age to ride.
• Front and side air bags can injure
occupants improperly positioned
in the front seats.
• Move your seat as far back as
practical from the front air bags,
while still maintaining control of
the vehicle.
• You and your passengers should
never sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the air bags. Improperly
positioned drivers and passengers
can be severely injured by inflating
air bags.
• Never lean against the door or
center console - always sit in an
upright position.
• Do not allow a passenger to
ride in the front seat when the
passenger 's front air bag OFF
indicator is illuminated, because
the air bag will not deploy in the
event of a moderate or severe
frontal crash.
• No objects should be placed over
or near the air bag modules on the
steering wheel, instrument panel
and the front passenger's panel
