2007 Kia Spectra Owners Manual

Knowing your vehicle
How does the air bag system
operate
•  Air bag deployment  depends on a
number of factors including vehicle
speed,  angles  of  impact and  the
density  and  stiffness of  the  vehi-
cles or  objects which  your vehicle
hits in the collision.Though, factors
are not limited  to those mentioned
above.
Air  bag  only  operates   when  the
ignition switch  is turned to  the ON
or START positions.

Air  bags   inflate  instantly   in   the
event of serious frontal or side  col-
lision (if equipped with side air bag
or curtain  air bag) in  order to help
protect the occupants from serious
physical injury.
The  front air  bags will  completely
inflate and deflate in an instant.
It is  impossible for  you to  see the
air bags inflate during an  accident.
It is  much more likely that  you will
simply  see  the  deflated  air  bags
hanging out  of  their storage  com-
partments after the collision.

There is  no single speed  at which
the air bags will inflate.
Air bags may not inflate if the vehi-
cle  collides  with  objects  such  as
utility  poles   or  trees,  where   the
point of  impact  is concentrated  to
one area  and the  full  force of  the
impact is not  delivered to the  sen-
sors.
Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate by the severity  of a collision
and its direction. These two factors
determine   whether   the   sensors
send   out  an   electronic   deploy-
ment/inflation signal.

I love my Kia, the only thing I have had to replace is tires and a battery. Bought it with 33K, now 2 years later with 87K, still running like a top.
