Air bag - supplemental restraint system
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
authorized 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 authorized Kia dealer/
service partner.
䳜 Your vehicle has been designed to
absorb impact and deploy the air
bag(s) in certain collisions. Install
ing bumper guards or replacing a
bumper with non-genuine parts
may adversely affect your vehi
cles collision and air bag deploy
ment performance.
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 pro
tection.
These include rear impacts, second
or third collisions in multiple impact
accidents, as well as low speed
impacts.
Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to
inflate in a frontal collision depend
ing on the intensity, speed or angles
of impact of the front collision.
