open, you should open the opposite win-
dow slightly to reduce the condition.✽ ✽ NOTICE• To protect the power window system
from the possibility of damage, do not
open or close two windows at the same
time. This will also ensure the longevi-
ty of the fuse.

ual door window switch in opposing
directions at the same time. If this is

Curtain air bag (if equipped)Curtain air bags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front and
rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the
heads of the front seat occupants and the
rear outboard seat occupants in certain
side impact collisions.
The curtain air bag deployment occurs
only on the side of the vehicle affected
by the impact.
The side air bags (side and/or curtain
air bags) are not designed to deploy in
collisions from the front or rear of the
vehicle or in most rollover situations.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy only in certain side-impact colli-
sions, depending on the crash severity,
angle, speed and impact.
WARNING
In order for side air bags (side
and curtain air bags) to provide
its best protection, both front seat
occupants and both outboard
rear occupants should sit in an
upright position with the seat
belts properly fastened.
Importantly, children should sit in
a proper child restraint system in
the rear seat.
When children are seated in the rear outboard seats, they must be
seated in the proper child
restraint system. Make sure to put
the child restraint system as far
away from the door side as possi-
ble, and secure the child restraint
system in a locked position.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not allow the passengers tolean 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 passen-
gers when they are seated on
seats equipped with side air
bags.
Never try to open or repair any components of the side curtain
air bag system. This should only
be done by an authorized Kia
dealer.
If a small child is seated on the rear outboard seat cushion, it is
probable that they will below the
deployment level of the side cur-
tain air bag and thus not protect-
ed by that air bag.
Failure to follow the above men-
tioned instructions can result in
injury or death to the vehicle occu-
pants in an accident.
