Curtain air bag
❈ The
actual air bags in the vehicle
may differ from the illustration.
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 occupants and
the rear outboard seat occupants in
certain side impact collisions.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact colli‐
sions, depending on the crash severity
of impact. However, when side deploy‐
ment threshold is satisfied at front-im‐
pact, curtain air bags may deploy.
The curtain air bags may deploy on the
side of the impact.
The curtain air bags are not designed
to deploy in all side impacts situations.
WARNING
• In order for side and curtain air
bags
to provide the best protec‐
tion, front seat occupants and
outboard rear occupants should sit
in an upright position with the seat
belts properly fastened. Impor‐
tantly, children should sit in a
proper child restraint system in
the rear seat.

• When children are seated in the
r
ear outboard seats, they must be
seated in the proper child restraint
system. Make sure to position the
child restraint system as far away
from the door side as possible, and
secure the child restraint system
in a locked position.
• Do not allow the passengers to
lean
their heads or bodies against
doors, put their arms on the
doors, stretch their arms out of
the window or place objects be‐
tween the doors and passengers
when they are seated on seats
equipped with side and curtain air
bags.
• Never try to open or repair any
c
omponents of the side curtain air
bag system. If necessary, have the
system serviced by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.
Failure to follow the above instruc‐
tions can result in injury or death to
the vehicle occupants in an accident.
