If the curtain airbag deploys, it
remains inflated for approximately
3 seconds. The curtain airbag
deployment occurs only on the
side of the vehicle affected by the
impact.
The side airbags (side and curtain airbags) are not designed to
deploy during collisions from the
front or rear of the vehicle or in
most rollover situations.
The curtain airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side-
impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and
impact. The curtain airbags are not
designed to deploy in all side
impact situations.
WARNING
In order for side airbags (sideand curtain airbags) to pro-
vide their best protection,
occupants should sit in an
upright position with the seat
belts properly fastened.
Children must be seated in the proper child restraint system.
Make sure to secure the child
restraint system in a locked
position.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Advise occupants not to leantheir heads or bodies onto
doors, and not to place
objects between the doors
and them since this may
defeat operation of the side
airbags.
Never try to open or repair any components of the side cur-
tain airbag system. This
should only be done by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Failure to follow the above men-
tioned instructions can result in
injury or death to the vehicle
occupants in an accident.

fuel or if you hear a hissing
sound, wait until the condition
stops before completely remov-
ing the cap.
CAUTION

edges, it is recommended that
protective gloves be worn if
there is a need to open the fuel
filler door manually.

a vehicle with the ignition key is
dangerous even if the key is not

key would enable children to
operate power windows or other

cle move, which could result in
serious bodily injury or even
death. Never leave the keys in
your vehicle with unsupervised
children.
