WARNING
- Do not hit or allow any objects to impact the locations where air bag
or sensors are installed. This may cause unexpected air bag 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 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 bag sensors. We recommend that the system be
serviced by an authorized Kia dealer.
- Problems may arise if the sensor installation angles are changed due
to the deformation of the front bumper, body or B pillar and C pillars where
side collision sensors are installed. We recommend that the system be serviced
by an authorized Kia dealer.

in certain collisions. Installing bumper guards or replacing a bumper with non-genuine
parts may adversely affect your vehicles collision and air bag deployment performance.
