Safety features of your vehicle
Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate
in a frontal collision depending on
the intensity, speed or angles of
impact of the front collision.
WARNING
• 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 per-
sonal injury or death.
• 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 per-
form maintenance on or
around the air bag sensors.
We recommend that the sys-
tem be serviced by an author-
ized Kia dealer.

• Problems may arise if the sen-
sor installation angles are
changed due to the deforma-
tion of the front bumper, body
or B pillar and C pillars where
side collision sensors are
installed. We recommend that
the system be serviced by an
authorized Kia dealer.
• Your vehicle has been
designed to absorb impact
and deploy the air bag(s) in
certain collisions.
Installing
bumper guards or replacing a
bumper with non-genuine
parts may adversely affect
your vehicles collision and air
bag deployment performance.
