Kia Optima 2017 - Air Bag Inflation Conditions; Front Air Bags

(Continued)
• 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.
Therefore, do not try to perform
maintenance on or around the air
bag sensors. We recommend that
the system be serviced by an au‐
thorized Kia dealer.
• Problems may arise if the sensor
installation angles are changed due
to the deformation of the front
bumper, body or front door and C
pillars where side collision sensors
are installed. We recommend that
the system be serviced by an au‐
thorized Kia dealer.
• Your vehicle has been designed to
absorb impact and deploy the air
bag(s) in certain collisions. Instal‐
ling bumper guards or replacing a
bumper with non-genuine parts
may adversely affect your vehicles
collision and air bag deployment
performance.
WARNING
n
if equipped with rollover sen‐
sor
If your vehicle is equipped with side
and curtain air bag, set the ignition
switch to OFF or ACC position when
the vehicle is being towed.
The side and curtain air bag may de‐
ploy when the ignitions is ON, and
the rollover sensor detects the sit‐
uation as a rollover.
