Curtain airbag

Curtain airbags are located along both sides of the roof rails above the front and rear doors.

* The actual airbags in the vehicle may differ from the illustration.

They are designed to help protect occupants in certain side impacts and to help prevent them from ejecting out of the vehicle as a result of a rollover, especially when the seat belts are also in use.

  • The curtain airbags are designed to deploy during certain side impact collisions, depending on the severity of impact. However, when the side deployment threshold is satisfied in a frontal impact, side airbags may deploy.

  • The curtain airbags may deploy on the side of the impact or on both sides.

  • The curtain airbags on both sides of the vehicle will deploy in certain rollover situations.

  • The curtain airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact or rollover situations.

Do not allow the passengers to lean their heads or bodies against the doors, put their arms on the doors, extend arms out of the window or place objects between the doors and passengers when they are seated on seats equipped with side impact and/or curtain airbags.

NOTICE

Never try to open or repair any components of the side and curtain airbag system. This should only be done by an authorized Kia dealer.

WARNING

Do not attach objects

  • Do not place any objects over the airbag. Do not attach any objects around the area the airbag inflates such as the door, side door glass, front and rear pillar or roof side rail.

  • Do not hang hard, breakable, or heavy objects on the coat hooks for safety reasons.
