Your vehicle is equipped with a side air bag in each front seat, 2nd row seat and front center side air bag in front driver seat.

* The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ from the illustration.

The purpose of the air bag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front passenger with additional protection than that offered by the seat belt alone.

• The side air bags and front center side air bag are designed to deploy during certain side-impact collisions, depending on the crash severity of impact.

• The side air bags may deploy on the side of the impact or on both sides.

• The side air bags and front center side air bag are not designed to deploy in all side impact or rollover situations.

• The side air bag and front center side air bag are supplemental to the driver's and the passenger's seat belt systems and is not a substitute for them. Your seat belts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in operation.

• For best protection from the side air bags and front center side air bag and to avoid being injured by the deploying side air bag, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright position with seat belts 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 the seat or seat cover is damaged, have the vehicle checked and repaired by an authorized Kia dealer. Inform the dealer that your Kia is equipped with side air bags and an ODS.
