WARNING

  • Do not hit or allow any objects to impact the locations where air bag or sensors are installed.

    This may cause unexpected air bag deployment, which could result in serious per­ sonal 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 system serviced by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

  • Problems may arise if the sensor installation angles are changed due to the de­ formation of the front bumper, body or B pillar where side collision sensors are installed. In this case, have the system serviced by a professional workshop. Kia recommends that you visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

  • Your vehicle has been designed to absorb impact and deploy the air bag(s) in certain collisions.

    Use only Kia Genuine Parts or those of an equivalent standard when installing bumper guards or replacing a bumper. If not, it may adversely affect your vehicle’s collision and air bag deployment performance.

  • If equipped with rollover sensor

    If your vehicle is equipped with side and curtain air bag, set the vehicle to OFF or ACC position and wait for 3 minutes when the vehicle is being towed.

    The side and curtain air bag may deploy when the ignitions is ON or the ignition is OFF within 3 minutes, and the rollover sensor detects the situation as a rollover.
