WARNING
- 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 they may fail to deploy when they should, which may result in serious injury or death. Therefore, do not attempt to service the airbag sensors or the area around them. Have the system serviced by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
- Problems may occur if the sensor installation angles change due to deformation of the front bumper, body, or center pillar where the sensors are installed in a side collision. In this case, have the system serviced by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
- Your vehicle is designed to absorb impact and deploy airbag(s) in certain collisions. Installing bumper guards or replacing the bumper with non-genuine parts may adversely affect the collision and airbag deployment performance of your vehicle.
