  2. Front impact sensor

  3. Side impact sensors (B, C-pillar)*

  4. Side pressure sensors (front door)*

WARNING
  • Do not hit or allow any objects to impact the locations where airbag or sensors are installed.

    This may cause unexpected airbag deployment, which could result in serious personal injury or death.

  • If the installation location or angle of the sensors is altered in any way, the airbags may deploy when they should not or they may not deploy when they should, causing severe injury or death.

    Therefore, do not try to perform maintenance on or around the airbag sensors. Have the system serviced by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

  • Problems may arise if the sensor installation angles are changed due to the deformation of the front bumper, body or B pillar where side collision sensors are installed. In this case, have the system serviced by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/ service partner.

  • Your vehicle has been designed to absorb impact and deploy the airbag(s) in certain collisions.

    Use only Kia Genuine Parts or those of an equivalent standard to install bumper guards or replace a bumper. If not, it may adversely affect your vehicle's collision and airbag deployment performance.

WARNING

If equipped with rollover sensor

If your vehicle is equipped with side and curtain airbag, set the vehicle to OFF or ACC position and wait for 3 minutes when the vehicle is being towed.

The side and curtain airbag may deploy when the ignitions are ON or the vehicle is OFF within 3 minutes, and the rollover sensor detects the situation as a rollover.
