Side airbag
Side airbags are stored in the left
side of the driver’s seat, right side of
the front passenger’s seat.
If airbag inflation conditions are met
(side collision), they will inflate.
Curtain airbag
Curtain airbags 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 occu-
pants in certain side impact colli-
sions.
WARNING-Seat covers,
damage and modifications
• Do not use any accessory
seat covers for a vehicle
equipped with side airbags.
Use of seat covers could inter-
fere with side airbag deploy-
ment.
If seat is damaged, have the
vehicle inspected by an autho-
rized Kia dealer.Inform them
that your vehicle is equipped
with side airbags.
• Do not make modifications or
additions to the s
eats since
injury may result in due to the
malfunction of the airbag sys-
tem.

Noise and smoke
When the airbags inflate, they make
a loud noise and they leave smoke
and powder in the air inside of the
vehicle. This is normal. After the
airbag inflates, you may feel sub-
stantial discomfort in breathing due
to the contact of your chest to both
the safety belt and the airbag, as well
as from breathing the smoke and
powder.We strongly urge you to
open your doors and/or windows
as soon as possible after impact
in order to reduce discomfort and
prevent prolonged exposure to
the smoke and powder.
Though the smoke and powder are
non-toxic, they may cause irritation
(eyes, nose and throat etc). Wash
and rinse with cold water immediate-
ly and consult the doctor if the symp-
tom persists.WARNING - Seated posi-
tioning
•Driver should sit as far back
from the steering wheel airbag
as possible to reduce the risk
of injury or death in a collision
(at least 250 mm (10 inches)
away).The front passenger
should always move their seat
as far back as possible and sit
back in their seat.
•Airbags inflate instantly in an
event of collision and passen-
gers may be inj
ured by the
airbag expansion force if they
are too close to the dash-
board.
•Airbag inflation may cause
injuries which normally
include facial or bodily abra-
sions,injuries from broken
eyeglasses or burns from the
airbag gases.
WARNING-Hot airbag
parts
When the airbags deploy, the
airbag 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 airbag
storage area’s internal compo-
nents immediately after an
airbag has inflated.

When repairing or scrapping the
vehicle
• Repairing the steering wheel,
instrument panel, center console
or roofs, or installing a car audio
system around the center console
or painting the front metal sheet
could disable the airbag system.
Have such repairs and mainte-
nance performed by an authorized
Kia dealer.
• Special care must be taken in
scrapping or junking an airbag-
equipped vehicle. Always refer
such activities to a qualified profes-
sional.
WARNING- No mainte-
nance or repair
• Do not work on the airbag sys-
tem’s components or wiring.
This could cause the airbags
to inflate inadvertently, possi-
bly seriously injuring some-
one.Working on the system
could also disable the system
so that the airbags would not
deploy in a collision.
• Any work on the airbag sys-
tem,such as removing,
install
ing, or repairing the
steering wheel must be per-
formed by a qualified Kia tech-
nician.Improper handling of
the airbag system including
the steering wheel may result
in serious personal injury or
death.
