Curtain Airbag

❈ The actual airbags in the vehicle may differ from the illustrations. Curtain airbags are located along both sides of the roof rails above the front and rear doors.

They are designed to protect the heads of front and rear side outboard passengers in certain side impacts.

Curtain airbags are designed to deploy in certain side collisions, depending on the severity, angle, speed, and point of impact of the accident. Curtain airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations, frontal or rear collisions, or in most rollover cases.

WARNING

• For safety reasons, do not hang heavy objects on the coat hooks.
• For the side airbags and curtain airbags to provide the best protection, both front seat occupants and both rear side occupants should sit upright with their seat belts properly fastened. Most importantly, children should sit in a proper child restraint system on the rear seat.
• If children are seated in the rear side seats, they must be secured in a proper child restraint system. Be sure to install the child restraint system as far away from the door as possible and secure the child restraint in the locked position.
• Do not allow passengers to lean their head or body against the doors, rest their arms on the doors, extend their arms out of the window, or place objects between the doors and passengers when they are seated in seats equipped with side and/or curtain airbags.
• Never attempt to open or repair any components of the curtain airbag system. If necessary, have the system serviced at a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

Failure to follow the above instructions may result in injury or death of vehicle occupants in a collision.

WARNING

No attached objects

• Do not place any objects on 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 clothes hangers.
