Air bag - advanced supplemental restraint
system
* The actual air bags in the vehicle
may differ from the illustration.
They are designed to help protect
occupants in certain side impacts
and to help prevent them from
ejecting out of the vehicle as a result
of a rollover, especially when the
seatbelts are also in use.
䳜 The curtain air bags are designed
to deploy during certain side
impact collisions, depending on
the severity of impact. However,
when side deployment threshold
is satisfied at front-impact, side
air bags may deploy.
䳜 The curtain air bags may deploy
on the side of the impact or on
both sides.
䳜 Also, the curtain air bags on both
sides of the vehicle will deploy in
certain rollover situations.
䳜 The curtain air bags are not
designed to deploy in all side
impact or rollover situations.
Do not allow the passengers to lean
their heads or bodies against the
doors, put their arms on the doors,
stretch their arms out of the win
-
dow or place objects between the
doors and passengers when they
are seated on seats equipped with
side impact and/or curtain air bags.
NOTICE
Never try to open or repair any
components of the side and curtain
air bag system. This should only be
done by an authorized Kia dealer.
WARNING
No attaching objects
䳜 Do not place any objects over the
air bag. Also, do not attach any
objects around the area the air
bag inflates such as the door, side
door glass, front and rear pillar,
roof side rail.
䳜 Do not hang hard, breakable, or
heavy objects on the coat hooks
for safety reasons.
