Knowing your vehicle
WARNING - Protecting air
bag module and sensors
Do not hit or allow any heavy
objects to hit the locations where
air bags or sensors are installed.
This may cause damage and
unexpected air bag deployment,
which could result in severe 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.
WARNING - Body changes

installation angles are changed
due to the deformation of front
bumper, body or B pillar where

side
collision
sensors
are
installed. In the event of a colli-
sion, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized Kia dealer.
Your vehicle has been designed
to absorb impact and deploy the
air bag(s) in certain collisions.
