Curtain Airbag

Side curtain airbags are located on both sides of the roof side rails above the front and rear doors.

They are designed to protect occupants in certain side impacts and help prevent occupants from being ejected from the vehicle in a rollover, especially when seat belts are also used.

• Curtain airbags are designed to deploy in certain side impacts, depending on the severity, angle, speed, and point of impact of the accident. However, when the side deployment threshold is met in a frontal collision, the curtain airbags may deploy.
• Curtain airbags may deploy on the impact side or on both sides.
• In addition, curtain airbags on both sides of the vehicle deploy in certain rollover situations.
• Side curtain airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impacts or rollover situations.

Do not allow occupants to lean their heads or bodies against the doors, rest their arms on the doors, extend their arms out of the window, or place objects between the doors and occupants when seated in seats equipped with side and/or curtain airbags.

✽ NOTICE

Never attempt to open or service any component of the curtain airbag system. This must be done only by an authorized Kia dealer.

WARNING! Do not attach objects

• Do not place any objects on top of the airbag cover. Also, do not attach any objects around the airbag deployment area, such as the door, side door glass, front and rear pillars, or side roof rail.
• Do not hang hard or breakable objects on the coat hook.
