Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING
僅 Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air bag 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, causing severe
injury or death.
Therefore, do not try to perform main-
tenance on or around the air bag sen-
sors. Have the system serviced by a
professional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
僅 Problems may arise if the sensor
installation angles are changed due to
the deformation of the front bumper,
body or B pillar where side collision
sensors are installed. In this case,
have the system serviced by a profes-
sional workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorised Kia dealer/ service
partner.
僅 Your vehicle has been designed to
absorb impact and deploy the air
bag(s) in certain collisions.
Use only Kia Genuine Parts or those
of an equivalent standard to install
bumper guards or replace a bumper.
If not, it may adversely affect your
vehicle's collision and air bag deploy-
ment performance.

Air bag - supplemental restraint system
WARNING
If equipped with rollover sensor
If your vehicle is equipped with side and
curtain air bag, set the vehicle to OFF or
ACC position and wait for 3 minutes
when the vehicle is being towed.
The side and curtain air bag may deploy
when the ignitions is ON or the vehicle is
OFF within 3 minutes, and the rollover
sensor detects the situation as a rollover.
Why didn't my air bag go off in a
collision? (Inflation and non-infla-
tion conditions of the air bag)
There are many types of accidents in
which the air bag would not be expected
to provide additional protection.
These include rear impacts, second or
third collisions in multiple impact acci-
dents, as well as low speed impacts.
Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
OKA4031080R
Front air bags are designed to inflate in
a frontal collision depending on the
intensity, speed or angles of impact of
the front collision.
