WARNING - Airbag Sensors

  • Do not strike or allow any objects to contact the areas where the airbags or sensors are installed. This may cause the airbag to deploy unexpectedly, which may result in serious 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 may not deploy when they should. Therefore, do not attempt to perform maintenance on or around the airbag sensors. Have the vehicle inspected and repaired by an authorized Kia dealer.

Problems may occur if the sensor mounting angles are changed due to deformation of the front bumper, body, or center pillar where the side impact sensors are installed. Have the vehicle inspected and repaired by an authorized Kia dealer.

Installing non-genuine bumper covers or replacing the bumper with non-genuine parts may adversely affect your vehicle's collision performance and airbag deployment.
