If the curtain airbag deploys, it
remains inflated for approximately
3 seconds. The curtain airbag
deployment occurs only on the side
of the vehicle affected by the
impact.
The curtain airbags are not
designed to deploy during colli-
sions from the front or rear of the
vehicle or in most rollover situa-
tions.
The curtain airbags are designed to
deploy only during certain side-
impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and
impact. The curtain airbags are not
designed to deploy in all side
impact situations.KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE3-56
WARNING
 In order for the curtain airbags
to provide its best protection,
both front seat occupants and
both outboard rear occupants
should sit in an upright posi-
tion with the safety belts prop-
erly fastened. Especially, chil-
dren should sit in a proper
child restraint system.
 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 sys-
tem to be locked in position.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 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 the seats where cur-
tain airbags are equipped.

done only by an authorized
Kia dealer.

tioned instructions can result in
injury or death to the vehicle
occupants in an accident.
BL-ENG (CAN)-3.qxd 7/28/05 5:52 PM Page 56

Noise and smoke
When the airbags inflate, they make
a loud noise and they leave smoke
and powder in the air inside of the
vehicle. This is normal and is a result
of the ignition of the airbag inflator.
After the airbag inflates, you may feel
substantial discomfort in breathing
due to the contact of your chest to
both the safety belt and the airbag, as
well as from breathing the smoke and
powder.We strongly urge you to
open your doors and/or windows
as soon as possible after impact in
order to reduce discomfort and
prevent prolonged exposure to the
smoke and powder.
Though smoke and powder are non-
toxic, it may cause irritation to the
skin (eyes, nose and throat etc). If
this is the case, wash and rinse with
the cold water immediately and con-
sult the doctor if the symptom per-
sists.Installing a child restraint on a
front passenger seat is forbidden.
Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger seat.
If the airbag deploys, it would impact
the rear-facing child restraint, caus-
ing serious or fatal injury.
In addition, do not place front-facing
child restraint in the front passenger
seat either. If the front passenger
airbag inflates, it would cause serious
or fatal injuries to the improperly posi-
tioned or improperly restrained child.

WARNING

airbag related parts in steering
wheel and/or instrument panel
and/or in both sides of the roof
rails above the front and rear
doors are very hot. To prevent
injury, do not touch the airbag
storage areas internal compo-
nents immediately after an
airbag has inflated.
