Air bag - supplemental restraint system
僅 Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air bag or
sensors are installed.
This may cause unexpected air bag
deployment, which could result in
serious personal injury or death.
僅 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 main

sors. Have the system serviced by a
professional workshop. Kia recom

mends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
僅 Problems may arise if the sensor
installation angles are changed due to
the deformation of the front bumper,
body or B pillar where side collision
sensors are installed. In this case,
have the system serviced by a profes

sional workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.

Use only Kia Genuine Parts or those
of an equivalent standard to install

If not, it may adversely affect your
vehicle’s collision and air bag deploy
