Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING
Air bag sensors
僅 Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air bags or
sensors are installed.
This may cause unexpected air bag
deployment, which could result in
serious personal injury or death.
僅 If the installation location or angle of
the sensors is altered in any way, the
air bags may deploy when they
should not or they may not deploy
when they should.
Therefore, do not try to perform main-
tenance on or around the air bag sen-
sors. Have the vehicle checked and
repaired by an authorized Kia dealer.
Problems may arise if the sensor instal-
lation angles are changed due to the
deformation of the front bumper, front
end module, body or front doors where
side collision sensors are installed. Have
the vehicle checked and repaired by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Installing bumper guards (or side step or
running board) or replacing a bumper
(or front door module) with non-genuine
parts may adversely affect your vehicle's
collision and air bag deployment perfor-
mance.
