Safety features of your Kia
NOTICE
Air bags can only be used once – have
an authorized Kia dealer replace the air
bag immediately after deployment.
Front air bags are not intended to
deploy in side impacts, rear impacts or
rollovers. When the frontal deployment
threshold is satisfied in a side impact,
the front air bags may deploy. Front air
bags will not deploy in frontal impacts
below the deployment threshold.
WARNING
SRS Wiring
Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS
wiring or other components of the SRS
system. This could result in injury, due to
accidental deployment of the air bags or
by rendering the SRS inoperative.
WARNING
Do not Attach Objects
No objects (such as an instrument panel
cover, mobile phone holder, cup holder,
perfume, stickers, etc.) should be placed
over or near the air bag modules on the
steering wheel, instrument panel, wind -
shield glass or front passenger's instru -
ment panel above the glove box. Such
objects could cause harm if the vehicle is
in a collision severe enough to deploy
the airbag.
Do not place any objects over the air bag
or between the air bag and you.
