Kia Cee'd: Air bag - supplemental restraint system / Curtain air bag


Curtain air bags 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 occupants
in certain side impact collisions.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact collisions,
depending on the crash severity,
angle, speed and point of impact. The
curtain air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact situations, collisions
from the front or rear of the vehicle
or in most rollover situations.
WARNING
- Do not hang heavy items on the
coat hooks for safety reasons.
- In order for side impact and curtain
air bags to provide the best
protection, both front seat occupants
and both outboard rear
occupants should sit in an
upright position with the seat
belts properly fastened.
Importantly, children should sit in
a proper child restraint system in
the rear seat.
- When children are seated in the
rear outboard seats, they must be
seated in the proper child
restraint system.
Make sure to put the child
restraint system as far away from
the door side as possible, and
secure the child restraint system
in a locked position.
- 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.
- Never try to open or repair any
components of the side curtain
air bag system. We recommend
that the system be serviced by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Failure to follow the above mentioned
instructions can result in
injury or death to the vehicle occupants
in an accident.
WARNING - No attaching
objects
- Do not place any objects over the
air bag. Also, do not attach any
objects around the area the air
bag inflates such as the door, side
door glass, front and rear pillar,
roof side rail.
- Do not hang hard or breakable
objects on the clothes hanger.
