Air bag inflation conditions

Front air bags

Front air bags are designed to inflate in a
frontal collision depending on the intensi-
ty, speed or angles of impact of the front
collision.

1VQA2084

WARNING

• Do not hit or allow any objects to

impact the locations where air
bags or sensors are installed.
This may cause unexpected air
bag deployment, which could
result in serious personal injury
or death.

• If the installation location or

angle of the sensors is altered in
any way, the air bags may deploy
when they should not or they may
not deploy when they should,
causing severe injury or death.
Therefore, do not try to perform
maintenance on or around the air
bag sensors. Have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an
authorized KIA dealer.

(Continued)

(Continued)
• Problems may arise if the sensor

installation angles are changed
due to the deformation of the
front bumper, body or B pillar
where side collision sensors are
installed.

Have the vehicle

checked and repaired by an
authorized KIA dealer.

• Your vehicle has been designed

to absorb impact and deploy the
air bag(s) in certain collisions.
Installing aftermarket bumper
guards or replacing a bumper
with non-genuine parts may
adversely affect your vehicle’s
collision and air bag deployment
performance.
