Safety features of your vehicle
❈The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ
from the illustration.
Side impact air bag
Your vehicle is equipped with a side
impact air bag in each front seat.
The purpose of the air bag is to provide
the vehicle's driver and/or the front pas-
senger with additional protection than
that offered by the seat belt alone.
The side impact air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side-impact
collisions, depending on the crash sever-
ity, angle, speed and point of impact. The
side air bags are not designed to deploy
in all side impact situations.

WARNING - Unexpected deployment
Avoid impact to the side impact
airbag sensor when the ignition
switch is ON to prevent unexpected
deployment of the side impact air
bag.
WARNING- No attachingobjects
No objects (such as crash pad cover,
cellular phone holder, cup holder,
perfume or stickers) should be
placed over or near the air bag mod-
ules on the steering wheel, instru-
ment panel, windshield glass, and
the front passenger's panel above
the glove box. Such objects could
cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash
severe enough to cause the air bags
to deploy. Do not place any objects
over the air bag or between the air
bag and yourself.

The side impact air bag is supplemental
to the driver's and the passenger's seat
belt systems and is not a substitute for
them. Therefore your seat belts must be
worn at all times while the vehicle is in
operation.
For best protection from the side air bag
system and to avoid being injured by the
deploying side air bag, both front seat
occupants should sit in an upright posi-
tion with the seat belt properly fastened.
The driver's hands should be placed on
the steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00
positions. The passenger's arms and
hands should be placed on their laps. If seat or seat cover is damaged, have
the vehicle checked and repaired by an
authorized Kia dealer. Inform that your
vehicle is equipped with side impact air
bags and an occupant detection system.
WARNING - Deployment
Do not install any accessories
including seat covers, on the side
or near the side impact air bag as
this may affect the deployment of
the side air bags.
WARNING - Flying objects
Do not place any objects (an
umbrella, bag, etc.) between the
front door and the front seat. Such
objects may become dangerous
projectiles if the side airbag
inflates.
WARNING- No attaching
objects
Do not place any objects over the
air bag or between the air bag
and yourself. Also, do not attach
any objects around the area the
air bag inflates such as the door,
side door glass, front and rear pil-
lar.
Do not place any objects between the door and the seat. They may
become dangerous projectiles if
the side air bag inflates.
Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side air bags.
