WARNING
- Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air bag
or sensors are installed.
This may cause unexpected air

result in serious personal injury
or death.
- If the installation location or
angle of the sensors is altered in
any way, the air bags 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 air

the system be serviced by an
authorized Kia dealer.

are installed.We recommend
that the system be serviced by an
authorized Kia dealer.

to absorb impact and deploy the
air bag(s) in certain collisions.
Installing bumper guards or
replacing a bumper with non-genuine
