Curtain air bags are located along both sides of the roof rails above the front and rear doors.
They are designed to help protect occupants in certain side impacts and to help prevent them from ejecting out of the vehicle as a result of a rollover, especially when the seatbelts are also in use.
Do not allow the passengers to lean their heads or bodies against the 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 impact and/or curtain air bags.
✽ NOTICE
Never try to open or repair any components of the side and curtain air bag system. This should only be done by an authorized Kia dealer.
