Safety features of your vehicle Air bag - supplemental restraint system
WARNING
䳜 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.
䳜 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
maintenance on or around the air
bag sensors. Have the system
serviced by a professional work
-
shop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
䳜 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 professional
workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorised Kia dealer/
service partner.
