• If the seat or seat cover is dam‐
aged, have the system serviced by
a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service part‐
ner.
WARNING
n No attaching objects
• Do not place any objects over the
air bag or between the air bag and
yourself. Also, do not attach any
objects around the area the air bag
inflates such as the door, side door
glass, front and rear pillar.
• Do not place any objects between
the door and the seat. They may
become dangerous projectiles if
the side air bag inflates.
• Do not install any accessories on
the side or near the side air bags.
Curtain air bag (if equipped)
❈
The actual air bags in the vehicle
may differ from the illustration.
Curtain air bags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front
and rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the
heads of the front seat occupants and
the rear outboard seat occupants in
certain side impact collisions.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact colli‐
sions, depending on the crash severity,
angle, speed and point of impact. The
curtain air bags are not designed to de‐
ploy in all side impact situations, colli‐
sions from the front or rear of the ve‐
hicle or in most rollover situations.
WARNING
• Do not hang heavy items on the
coat hooks for safety reasons.
• In order for side and curtain air
bags to provide the best protec‐
tion, both front seat occupants
and both outboard rear occupants
should sit in an upright position
with the seat belts properly fas‐
tened.
Importantly, children should sit in
a proper child restraint system in
the rear seat.
