However, air bag inflation can also

cause injuries which can include

Noise and smoke

When the air bags inflate, they

make a loud noise and they leave

smoke and powder in the air inside

of the vehicle. This is normal and is a

result of the ignition of the air bag

inflator. After the air bag inflates,

you may feel substantial discomfort

in breathing due to the contact of

your chest with both the seat belt

and the air bag, as well as from

breathing the smoke and powder.

Open your doors and/or windows as

soon as possible after impact in

speed also causes the air bags to

expand with a great deal of force.

䳜 There are even circumstances

under which contact with the

steering wheel air bag can cause

fatal injuries, especially if the

occupant is positioned excessively

close to the steering wheel.

WARNING

䳜 To avoid severe personal injury or

death caused by deploying air

bags in a collision, the driver

should sit as far back from the

steering wheel air bag as possible

(at least 250 mm (10 inches)

away). The front passengers

should always move their seats as

far back as possible and sit back in

their seat.

Safety features of your vehicle

Air bag - supplemental restraint system

when the ENGINE START/STOP

button is on.

䳜 If the seat or seat cover is dam

aged, have the system serviced

by a professional workshop.

Kia recommends to visit an

authorized Kia dealer/service

partner.

WARNING

Do not allow the passengers to lean

their heads or bodies onto doors,

put their arms on the doors, stretch

their arms out of the window, or

place objects between the doors and

passengers when they are seated

on seats equipped with side and/or

curtain air bags.

-

WARNING

No attaching objects

WARNING

䳜 Do not place any objects over the

air bag or between the air bag and

yourself. Also, do not attach any

objects around the area the air

bag inflates such as the door, side

door glass, front and rear pillar.

䳜 Do not place any objects between

the door and the seat. They may

become dangerous projectiles if

the side air bag inflates.

4

䳜 The side air bag is supplemental

to the seat belt systems and is

not a substitute for them. There

-

fore your seat belts must be worn

at all times while the vehicle is in

motion. The air bags deploy only

in certain side impact severe

enough to cause significant injury

to the vehicle occupants.

䳜 For best protection from the side

air bag system and to avoid being

injured by the deploying side air

bag, both front and all rear (if

equipped) seat occupants should

sit in an upright position with the

seat belt properly fastened.

䳜 Do not use any accessory seat

covers.

䳜 Do not install any accessories on

the side or near the side air bags.

䳜 Do not hang heavy items on the

coat hooks for safety reasons.

䳜 Use of seat covers could reduce or

prevent the effectiveness of the

system.

䳜 To prevent unexpected deploy

-

ment of the side air bag that may

result in personal injury, avoid

impact to the side impact sensor
