2006 Kia Sorento Owners Manual

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
The  front  airbags  will   completely
inflate and deflate in an instant.
How does the airbag system
operate
WARNING
It is  virtually  impossible for  you to
see  the  airbags  inflate  during  an
accident. It is much more likely that
you  will   simply  see  the  deflated
airbags hanging out of their storage
compartments after the collision.
In order to help provide protection in
a severe collision, the airbags  must
inflate rapidly. The  speed of  airbag
inflation has been determined by the
Canadian   Motor   Vehicle   Safety
Standards (CMVSS)  to  reduce the
likelihood of serious or life-threaten-
ing injuries and is thus a mandatory
part of the airbag design.
However,  airbag inflation  can also
cause injuries  which  normally can
include   facial  abrasions,   bruises
and  broken  bones,   because  that
speed  also causes  the  airbags to
expand with a great deal force.
There  are   even  circumstances
under   which  contact   with  the
steering wheel airbag  can cause
fatal  injuries,   especially  if   the
occupant  is   positioned   exces-
sively   close    to   the   steering
wheel.
•  Driver should  sit  as far  back
(at  least 10  inches  (250  mm)
away) from the steering wheel
airbag  as possible  to  reduce
the risk of injury  or death in a
collision. The front passenger
should always move their seat
as far back as possible and sit
back in their seat.
•  Airbag inflates instantly  in an
event of collision, passengers
may be  injured  by the  airbag
expansion force if they are not
in proper position.
Airbag   inflation   may  cause
injuries      which       normally
include  facial or  bodily  abra-
sions, injuries  by  the  broken
glasses or burns by the explo-
sives.
Airbag only operates when the igni-
tion   switch  is   turned   to  ON   or
START position.
Airbags inflate instantly in the event
of serious frontal or side collision in
order to help protect the occupants
from serious physical injury.
There is  no single  speed at  which
the airbags will inflate.
Generally, airbags  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.
Airbag   deployment depends  on a
number of factors  including vehicle
speed,  angles  of  impact  and  the
density and stiffness of the vehicles
or objects which your vehicle hits in
the  collision.  Though,  factors  are
not   limited   to  those   mentioned
above.
