Side airbag
Side airbags are stored in the left
side of the driver’s seat, right side of
the front passenger’s seat.
If airbag inflation conditions are met
(side collision), they will inflate.
Curtain airbag
Curtain airbags are located along
both sides of the roof rails above the
front and rear doors.
They are designed to help protect
the heads of the front seat occupants
and the rear outboard seat occu-
pants in certain side impact colli-
sions.
WARNING
• Do not use any accessory
seat covers for the vehicle
equipped with side airbags.
Use of seat covers could inter-
fere with side airbag deploy-
ment.
If seat or seat cover is dam-
aged,
have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an
authorized Kia dealer. Inform
them that your vehicle is
equipped with side airbags
and an occupant detection
system.
• Do not make modifications or
additions to the seats. If inap-
propriate seats are used,
unexpected injury may result
in due to the malfunction of
the airbag system. 1KMA2063
