Do not hit or allow any heavy
objects to hit the locations
where airbags or sensors are
installed.
This may cause damage and
unexpected airbag deploy-
ment, which could result in
serious personal injury or
death.
If the installation location or
angle of the sensors is altered
in any way, the airbags may
malfunction, causing severe
injury or death.
• Problems may arise if the sen-
sor installation angles are
changed due to the deforma-
tion of front bumper, body or B
pillar where side collision sen-
sors are installed. In the event
of a collision, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized
Kia dealer.
