Side air bag (if equipped)
Side air bags are stored in the left side of
the driver’s seat, right side of the front
passenger’s seat and left and right sides
of the rear seats.
Side air bags are designed to deploy only
during certain side impact collisions
depending on the crash severity, angle,
speed and impact. The side air bags are
not designed to deploy in all side impact
situations.
WARNING
• Do not use any accessory seat
covers for the vehicle equipped
with side air bags.
Use of seat covers could interfere
with side air bag deployment.
If seat or seat cover is damaged,
have the vehicle checked and
repaired by an authorized Kia
dealer. Inform them that your
vehicle is equipped with side air
bags and an occupant detection
system.
• Do not make modifications or
additions to the seats. If inappro-
priate seats are used, unexpected
injury may result in due to the
malfunction of the air bag sys-
tem.

(Continued)
• Never allow front passenger to
put their hands, feet or face on or
close to the instrument panel. In
the event of air bag deployment,
such a mispositioned occupant
would be likely to suffer severe
injury or death.
• Never allow children, pregnant
women or frail persons to sit in
the front passenger seat. Do not
put child restraint system on the
front passenger's seat either.
They may be seriously injured by
the air bag inflation when air bag
deploys.
• Do not put objects or stickers on
the instrument panel. Do not
apply any accessory to the front
windshield. Do not install after-
market mirrors or accessories on
the factory-installed rearview mir-
ror. Any of these could interfere
with the deployment of the air bag
or could hit your body at high
speed and cause severe bodily
injury and even death.
