Additional Safety Precautions - Kia XCeed 2020 Owner's Manual

Safety features of your vehicle
• No objects should be placed over
or near the air bag modules on the
steering wheel, instrument panel,
and the front passenger's panel
above the glove box, because any
such object could cause harm if
the vehicle is in a crash severe
enough to cause the air bags to
inflate.
• If the air bags inflate, have the
system replaced by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorized Kia dealer/
service partner.
• Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS wiring, or other components
of the SRS system. Doing so could
result in injury, due to accidental
inflation of the air bags or by
rendering the SRS inoperative.
• If components of the air bag
system must be discarded, or
if the vehicle must be scrapped,
certain safety precautions must
be observed. An authorized Kia
dealer knows these precautions
and can give you the necessary
information. Failure to follow
these precautions and procedures
could increase the risk of personal
injury.
• If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on
flooring, you shouldn't try to start
the engine; in this case, have your
vehicle inspected by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to

service partner.

Additional safety precautions

• Never let passengers ride in the
cargo area or on top of a folded-
down back seat. All occupants
should sit upright, fully back in
their seats with their seat belts on
and their feet on the floor.
• Passengers should not move
out of or change seats while the
vehicle is moving. A passenger
who is not wearing a seat belt
during a crash or emergency
stop can be thrown against the
inside of the vehicle, against other
occupants, or out of the vehicle.
• Each seat belt is designed to
restrain one occupant. If more
than one person uses the same
seat belt, they could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision.
• Do not use any accessories on
seat belts. Devices claiming to
improve occupant comfort or
reposition the seat belt can reduce
the protection provided by the
seat belt and increase the chance
of serious injury in a crash.
• Passengers should not place
hard or sharp objects between
themselves and the air bags.
Carrying hard or sharp objects
on your lap or in your mouth
can result in injuries if an air bag
inflates.
