Kia EV6 2024 Owner's Manual page 120

Safety features of your vehicle
僅 The side air bags may deploy on the
side of the impact or on both sides.
僅 The side and/or curtain air bags on
both sides of the vehicle will deploy if
a rollover or possible rollover is
detected.
僅 The side air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact or rollover
situations.
WARNING
Unexpected Deployment
Avoid impact to the side impact airbag
sensor when the EV button is ON to pre-
vent unexpected deployment of the side
air bag.
僅 The side air bag is supplemental to
the driver's and the passenger's seat
belt systems and is not a substitute
for them. Therefore your seat belts
must be worn at all times while the
vehicle is in operation.
僅 For best protection from the side air
bag system and to avoid being injured
by the deploying side air bag, both
front seat occupants should sit in an
upright position with the seat belt
properly fastened. 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
Deployment
Do not install any accessories including
seat covers, on the side or near the side
air bag, as this may adversely affect the
deployment of the side air bags.
僅 If seat or seat cover is damaged, have
the vehicle checked and repaired by
an authorized Kia dealer. Inform the
4 44
Air bag - advanced supplemental restraint system
dealer that your vehicle is equipped
with side air bags and an occupant
detection system.
WARNING
Flying Objects
Do not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door and
the front seat. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles if the side airbag
inflates.
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 in which the air bag
inflates, such as the door, side door
glass, front and rear pillar.
僅 Do not put any objects between the
side airbag label and seat cushion. It
could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
crash severe enough to cause the air
bags to deploy.
僅 Never place or insert any object into
any small opening near the side air-
bag labels attached to the vehicle
seats. When the air bag deploys, the
object may adversely affect the
deployment and result in an unex-
pected accident or bodily harm.
僅 Do not install any accessories on the
side or near the side air bags.
Curtain air bag
Curtain air bags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front
and rear doors.
