Safety features of your vehicle Air bag - advanced supplemental restraint system
Curtain air bag
* 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 occu
-
pants in certain side impacts and to help
prevent them from ejecting out of the
vehicle as a result of a rollover, espe
-
cially when the seatbelts are also in use.
僅 The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact col
-
lisions, depending on the crash sever
-
ity, angle, speed and point of impact.
However, when side deployment
threshold is satisfied in a frontimpact
crash, the curtain air bags may
deploy.
僅 The curtain air bags may deploy on
the side of the impact or on both
sides.
僅 Also, the curtain air bags on both
sides of the vehicle will deploy in cer
-
tain rollover situations.
僅 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 onto doors, put their
arms on the doors, stretch their arms out
of the window, or place objects between
the doors and passengers when they are
seated on seats equipped with side and/
or curtain air bags.
Never try to open or repair any compo
-
nents of the side curtain air bag system.
This should only be done by an autho
-
rized Kia dealer.
No attaching objects
僅 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.
僅 Do not hang hard or breakable
objects on the clothes hanger.
Why didn’t my air bag go off in a
collision? (Inflation and non-infla
-
tion conditions of the air bag)
There are many types of accidents in
which the air bag would not be expected
to provide additional protection.
These include rear impacts, second or
third collisions in multiple impact acci
-
dents, as well as low speed impacts.
In these situations, the air bags may not
deploy.
