Safety features of your vehicle
僅 To prevent unexpected deployment
of the side air bag that may result in
personal injury, avoid impact to the
side impact sensor when the ignition
key is on.
僅 If the seat or seat cover is damaged,
have the system serviced by a profes-
sional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
No attaching objects
僅 Do not place any objects over the air
bag or between the air bag and your-
self. Also, do not attach any objects
around the area the air bag inflates
such as the door, side door glass,
front and rear pillar.
僅 Do not place any objects between the
door and the seat. They may become
dangerous projectiles if the side air
bag inflates.
僅 Do not install any accessories on the
side or near the side air bags.

* The actual air bags in the vehicle may
differ from the illustration.
Curtain air bags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front
and rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the
heads of the front seat occupants and
the rear outboard seat occupants in cer-
tain side impact collisions.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact colli-
sions, 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, colli-
sions from the front or rear of the vehi-
cle or in most rollover situations.
