Kia Rio: Air bag - advanced 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 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.
- The curtain air bags are designed to deploy during certain side impact collisions,
depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact. However,
when side deployment threshold is satisfied in a frontimpact crash, the curtain
air bags may deploy.
- The curtain air bags may deploy on the side of the impact or on both sides.
- Also, the curtain air bags on both sides of the vehicle will deploy in certain
rollover situations.
- The curtain air bags are not designed to deploy in all side impact or rollover
situations.
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.
✽ NOTICE
Never try to open or repair any components of the side curtain air bag system.
This should only be done by an authorized Kia dealer.
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.
