How does the air bag system
operate
• Air bags are activated (able to
inflate if necessary) only when the
POWER button is turned to the ON
or START position.
• Air bags inflate instantly in the
event of a serious frontal collision
or side collision (if equipped with a
side air bag or curtain air bag) in
order to help protect the occupants
from serious physical injury.
• In normal conditions, the airbag is
designed to deploy based on cer-
tain angle and intensity of the col-
lision. These two factors are cru-
cial elements for deciding whether
to transmit airbag deployment sig-
nal or start the electrical operation
or not.
• The airbag will deploy based on
angle and intensity of the collision.
It will not deploy in every crash or
collision situations
• The front air bags will completely
inflate and deflate in an instant.
It is virtually impossible for you to
see the air bags inflate during an
accident.
It is much more likely that you will
simply see the deflated air bags
hanging out of their storage com-
partments after the collision.
WARNING
• Even in vehicles with air bags,
you and your passengers
must always wear the safety
belts provided in order to min-
imise the risk and severity of
injury in the event of a colli-
sion or rollover.
• SRS and pretensioners con-
tain explosive chemicals.
If scraping a vehicle without
removing SRS and preten-
sioners from a vehicle, it may
cause fire. Before scraping a
vehicle, contact a profession-
al workshop. Kia recommends
to visit an authorised Kia deal-
er/service partner.
• Keep the SRS parts and
wirings away from water or any
liquid. If the SRS components
are inoperative due to expo-
sure to water or liquids, it may
cause fire or severe injury.
