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.
