Curtain air bag
Curtain air bags are located along
both sides of the roof rails above the
front and rear doors.
(Continued)
• Do not install any accessories
on the side or near the side air
bag.
• Do not place any objects over
the air bag or between the air
bag and yourself.
• Do not place any objects (an
umbrella, bag, etc.) between the
front door and the front seat.
Such objects may become dan-
gerous projectiles and cause
injury if the supplemental side
air bag inflates.
• To prevent unexpected deploy-
ment of the side air bag that
may result in personal injury,
avoid impact to the side impact
sensor when the ignition
switch is on.
• If seat or seat cover is dam-
aged, have the vehicle checked
and repaired by an authorized
Kia dealer. Inform the dealer
that your vehicle is equipped
with side air bags and an occu-
pant detection system.
WARNING
• The side air bag is supple-
mental 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 opera-
tion.
• 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 position with
the seat belt properly fas-
tened. The driver's hands
should be placed on the steer-
ing wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00
positions. The passenger's
arms and hands should be
placed on their laps.
• Do not use any accessory
seat covers.
• Use of seat covers could
reduce or prevent the effec-
tiveness of the system.
