Curtain air bag (if equipped)
Curtain air bags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front and
rear doors. They are designed to help
protect the heads of the front seat occu-
pants and the rear outboard seat occu-
pants in certain side impact collisions.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact colli-
sions, depending on the crash severity,
angle, speed and point of impact. The
curtain air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact situations, colli-
sions from the front or rear of the vehicle
or in most rollover situations.

• 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 key is on.
• If the seat or seat cover is dam-
aged, we recommend that the
system be serviced by an author-
ized Kia dealer.
❈ The actual air bags in the vehicle may dif-
fer from the illustration.
WARNING - No attaching
objects
• Do not place any objects over the
air bag or between the air bag
and yourself. Also, do not attach
any objects around the area the
air bag inflates such as the door,
side door glass, front and rear pil-
lar.
• Do not place any objects between
the door and the seat. They may
become dangerous projectiles if
the side air bag inflates.
• Do not install any accessories on
the side or near the side air bags.
