WARNING - Airbag Sensors
- Do not strike or allow any objects to enter the areas where the airbags or sensors are installed.
This may cause the airbags to deploy unexpectedly, which may result in serious personal injury or death. - If the installation location or installation angle of the sensors is changed in any way, the airbags may deploy when they should not, or they may not deploy when they should.
Therefore, do not attempt to service the airbag sensors or work around them. Have the vehicle inspected and repaired by an authorized Kia dealer.
Problems may occur if the installation angles of the sensors change due to deformation of the front bumper, front end module, body or front doors in a side collision where the sensors are installed. Have the vehicle inspected and repaired by an authorized Kia dealer.
Installing bumper guards (or side steps or running boards) or replacing the bumper (or front door module) with non-genuine parts may adversely affect collision performance and airbag deployment.
