2006 KIA Sedona air condition

Features of your vehicle88
3Front passenger’s air bagFront passenger’s air bag is stored in the
instrument panel on the glove box.
Since you cannot know which air bags
will deploy or from what direction, never
put any objects or ornaments on the
instrument panel.
Side air bag (if equipped)Side air bags are stored in the left side of
the driver’s seat, right side of the front
passenger’s seat.
If air bag inflation conditions are met
(side collision), they will inflate.

WARNING
 Do not use any accessory seat
covers for the vehicle equipped
with side air bags.
Use of seat covers could interfere
with side air bag deployment.
If seat or seat cover is damaged,
have the vehicle checked and
repaired by an authorized Kia
dealer. Inform them that your
vehicle is equipped with side air
bags and an occupant detection
system.
 Do not make modifications or additions to the seats. If inappro-
priate seats are used, unexpected
injury may result in due to the
malfunction of the air bag sys-
tem.

3Why didn’t my air bag go off in a
collision? (Inflation and non-inflation conditions
of the air bag)There are many types of accidents in
which the air bag would not be expect-
ed to provide additional protection.
These include rear impacts, second or
third collisions in multiple impact
accidents, as well as low speed
impacts. In other words, just because
your vehicle is damaged and even if it
is totally unusable, don’t be surprised
that the air bags did not inflate.

Air bag inflation conditionsFront air bag
Front air bags are designed to inflate
when the impact is delivered to front col-
lision sensors depending on the intensity,
speed or angles of impact of the front
collision - generally from an area a little
to the left to a little to the right of straight
ahead.

WARNING
 Do not hit or allow any objects toimpact 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.
 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 vehicle
checked and repaired by an
authorized Kia dealer.

(Continued)
 Problems may arise if the sensorinstallation angles are changed
due to the deformation of front
bumper, body or B/C pillar where
side collision sensors are
installed. Have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an
authorized Kia dealer.
 Your vehicle has been designed to absorb impact and deploy the
air bag(s) in certain collisions.
Installing aftermarket bumper
guards or replacing a bumper
with non-genuine parts may
adversely affect your vehicles
collision and air bag deployment
performance.

3Side air bags (if equipped)
Side air bags (side and/or curtain air
bags) are designed to inflate when an
impact is detected by side collision sen-
sors depending on the strength, speed or
angles of impact of side impact of side
impact collision or rollover. Although the front air bags (driver’s and
front passenger’s air bags) are designed
to inflate only in frontal collision, it may
inflate in any collision if front impact sen-
sors detect a sufficient impact. Side air
bags (side and/or curtain air bags) are
designed to inflate only in side impact
collision, it may inflate in any collision if
side impact sensors detect a sufficient
impact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved roads
or sidewalks, air bags may deploy. Drive
carefully on unimproved roads or on sur-
faces not designed for vehicle traffic to
prevent unintended air bag deployment.
To protect occupants, front air bags or
pre-tensioner seat belts may deploy in
certain side impact collisions.
Air bag non-inflation conditions In certain low-speed collisions the air
bags may not deploy. The air bags are
designed not to deploy in such cases
because the risk of injuries which can
be caused by the air bags exceeds the
benefits they provide in protecting
occupants.

✽
NOTICEIt should be noted that prolonged oper-
ation of the heating in recirculated air
position will cause fogging of the wind-
shield and side windows and the air
within the passenger compartment will
become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the “recirculated air
position” selected, will result in exces-
sively dry air in the passenger compart-
ment.
Temperature control knobThe temperature control knob allows you
to control the temperature of the air flow-
ing from the ventilation system. To
change the air temperature in the pas-
senger compartment, turn the knob to
the WARM position for warm and hot air
or COOL position for cooler air.
 Turn the left knob to control the driver
side air temperature.
 Turn the right knob to control the pas- senger side air temperature.
WARNING
 Continued climate control systemoperation in the recirculated air
position may allow humidity to
increase inside vehicle which
may fog the glass and obscure
visibility.
 Do not sleep in a vehicle with air conditioning or heating system
on. It may cause serious harm or
death due to a drop in the oxygen
level and/or body temperature.
 Continued climate control system operation in the recirculated air
position can cause drowsiness or
sleepiness, and loss of vehicle
control. Set the air intake control
to the outside (fresh) air position
as much as possible while dri-
ving.

ed to the floor and the wind-
shield with a small amount
directed to the side window
defrosters.

Defrost position Most of the air flow is direct-
ed to the windshield with a
small amount of air directed
to the side window
defrosters.

arately using the horizontal thumbwheel.
To close the vent, rotate it left to the max-
imum position. To open the vent, rotate it
