2006 Kia Spectra Owners Manual

Knowing your vehicle
How does the airbag system
operate
•  Airbag  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.
Airbag   only  operates   when   the
ignition  switch is  turned to  ON  or
START position.

Airbags   inflate   instantly    in  the
event of serious frontal or side  col-
lision (if equipped  with side airbag
or curtain  airbag)  in order  to help
protect the occupants from serious
physical injury.
The  front  airbags  will  completely
inflate and deflate in an instant.
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  stor-
age  compartments after  the  colli-
sion.

There is  no single speed  at which
the airbags will inflate.
Airbags 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, 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.
