Safety features of your vehicle
•
The side impact air bags are designed
to deploy during certain side-impact
collisions, depending on the crash
severity, angle, speed and point of
impact.
The side impact air bags do not only
deploy on the side of the impact but
also on the opposite side.
Also, both sides of the side impact air
bags deploy in certain rollover situa-
tions.
The side impact air bags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact or
rollover situations.

WARNING

•
•
Do not install any accessories on
the side or near the side impact
air bag.
Do not place any objects over the
air bag or between the air bag
and yourself.
Do not place any objects (an
umbrella, bag, etc.) between the
front door and the front seat.
Such objects may become dan-
gerous projectiles and cause
injury if the supplemental side air
bag inflates.
•
The side impact air bag is sup-
plemental to the driver's and the
passenger's seat belt systems
and is not a substitute for them.
Therefore your seat belts must be

• For best protection from the side
air bag system and to avoid being
injured by the deploying side air
bag, both front seat occupants
should sit in an upright position
with the seat belt properly fas-
tened. The driver's hands should
be placed on the steering wheel
at the 9:00 and 3:00 positions.
The passenger's arms and hands
should be placed on their laps.
Do not use any accessory seat
covers.
Use of seat covers could reduce
or prevent the effectiveness of
the system.
•
To prevent unexpected deploy-
ment of the side impact air bag
that may result in personal injury,
avoid impact to the side impact
sensor when the ignition switch
is on.
• If seat or seat cover is damaged,
have the vehicle checked and
repaired by an authorized KIA
dealer. Inform the dealer that your
vehicle is equipped with side
impact air bags and an occupant
detection system.
