Side air bag (if equipped)
Side air bags are stored in the left
side of the driver’s seat and right side
of the front passenger’s seat.
If air bag inflation conditions are met
(side collision), they will inflate.

(Continued)
• If the driver brakes the vehicle
heavily prior to an impact,
unbelted occupants will be
thrown forward. If the front
passenger is not wearing the
safety belts, they will be
directly in front of the air bag
when deployment occurs.In
that situation,serious injury
or death is possible.
• Never allow front passenger
to put their hands, feet or face
on or close to the instrument
panel. In the event of air bag
deployment,such a misposi-
tioned occupant would be
likely to suffer severe injury or
death.
• Never allow children, pregnant
women or weak persons to sit
in the front passenger seat.
They may be seriously injured
by the air bag inflation when
air bag deploys.
(Continued)(Continued)
• Never allow children, pregnant
women or weak persons to sit
in the front passenger seat.
Do not put child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger's
seat either. They may be seri-
ously injured by the airbag
inflation when airbag deploys.
• Do not put objects or stickers
on the instrument panel. Do
not apply any accessory to the
front windshield. Do not install
aftermarket mirrors or acces-
sories on the factory-installed
rearview mirror. Any of these
could interfere with the
deployment of the air bag or
could hit your body at high
speed and cause severe bodi-
ly injury and even death.

WARNING - Side and cur-
tain air bags
• In order for side and curtain
air bags to provide the best
protection, both front seat
occupants and both outboard
rear occupants should sit in
an upright position with the
safety 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 possible, and
secure the child restraint sys-
tem in a locked position.
(Continued)(Continued)
• If a small child is seated on
the rear outboard seat cush-
ion, it is probable that they will
below the deployment level of
the side curtain airbag and
thus not protected by that
airbag.
• 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 air bags.
• Never try to open or repair any
components of the side cur-
tain air bag system. This
should only be done by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Failure to follow the above men-
tioned instructions can result in
severe injury or death to the
vehicle occupants in an acci-
dent.

Installing a child restraint on a
front passenger seat is
extremely dangerous and
should never be done.
Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger seat.
If the air bag deploys, it would impact
the rear-facing child restraint, caus-
ing severe or fatal injury.
In addition, do not place front-facing
child restraint in the front passen-
ger’s seat either. If the front passen-
ger air bag inflates, it would cause
serious or fatal injuries to the improp-
erly positioned or improperly
restrained child.
WARNING
• Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an air
bag in front of it!
• Never put child restraint in the
front passenger’s seat. If the
front passenger air bag
inflates, it would cause seri-
ous or fatal injuries.
• When children are seated in
the rear outboard seats in
which curtain air bags are
equipped, be sure to put the
child restraint system as far
away from the door side as
possible, and secure the child
restraint system to be locked
in position.
Inflation of curtain air bag (if
equipped) could cause severe
injury or death due to the
expansion impact.
WARNING
When the air bags deploy, the
air bag related parts in steering
wheel and/or instrument panel
and/or in both sides of the roof
rails above the front and rear
doors are very hot. To prevent
injury, do not touch the air bag
storage areas internal compo-
nents immediately after an air
bag has inflated.
