JB CAN 3.
JB CAN 3.qxd 7/29/05 8:57 AM Page 48 Knowing your vehicle What your air bag system does Driver’s air bag and front passenger’s air bag are designed to supplement the protection offered by the safety belt in certain frontal collisions. Likewise, side air bag and curtain air bags are designed to supplement the protection offered by the safety belt in side collisions. Safety belts are designed to reduce the injury of the driver or passengers in case of light impact or collision.
JB CAN 3.qxd 7/29/05 8:57 AM Page 49 Knowing your vehicle (Continued) • Driver’s and front passenger’s air bag are designed to inflate only in certain frontal collisions, and side and curtain air bags are designed to inflate in certain side impacts. Frontal air bags are not designed to provide protection in side impacts, rear impacts, rollovers, or less severe frontal collisions. They will not provide protection from later impacts in a multiimpact collision.
JB CAN 3.qxd 7/29/05 8:57 AM Page 50 Knowing your vehicle WARNING - Steering WARNING wheel • You must always sit as far back from the steering wheel air bag as possible (chest at least 250 mm (10 inches ) away from the steering wheel), while still maintaining a comfortable seating position for good vehicle control, in order to reduce the risk of injury or death in a collision. • Never place objects over the air bag storage compartments or between the air bags and yourself.
JB CAN 3.qxd 7/29/05 8:57 AM Page 51 Knowing your vehicle (Continued) • Never allow front passenger to put their hands, feet or face on or close to the instrument panel. In the event of air bag deployment, such a mispositioned occupant would be likely to suffer severe injury or death. • Never allow children, pregnant women or weak persons to sit in the front passenger seat. They may be seriously injured by the air bag inflation when air bag deploys.
JB CAN 3.qxd 7/29/05 8:57 AM Page 52 Knowing your vehicle 1JBA3059 • The curtain air bag deployment occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by the impact. • The side air bags (side and/or curtain air bags) are not designed to deploy in collisions from the front or rear of the vehicle or in most rollover situations. • The curtain air bags are designed to deploy only in certain side-impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and impact.
JB CAN 3.qxd 7/29/05 8:57 AM Page 53 Knowing your vehicle Why didn’t my air bag go off in a collision? (Inflation and non-inflation conditions of the air bag) There are many types of accidents in which one or more of the air bags would not be expected to provide additional protection. These include rear impacts, second or third collisions in multiple impact accidents, as well as low speed impacts.
JB CAN 3.qxd 7/29/05 8:57 AM Page 54 Knowing your vehicle WARNING - Protecting air bag module and sensors • Do not hit or allow any heavy objects to hit the locations where air bags or sensors are installed. This may cause damage and unexpected air bag deployment, which could result in severe personal injury or death.
JB CAN 3.qxd 7/29/05 8:57 AM Page 55 Knowing your vehicle 1JBA3514 1JBA3900 Side air bags (if equipped) Side air bags (side and/or curtain air bags) are designed to inflate when an impact is detected by side collision sensors depending on the strength, speed or angles of impact of side impact of side impact collision or rollover.
JB CAN 3.qxd 7/29/05 8:57 AM Page 56 Knowing your vehicle 1JBB3520 1JBA3516 1JBA3521 • Frontal air bags are not designed to inflate in rear collisions, because occupants are moved backward by the force of the impact. In this case, the air bags do not provide protection. • Front air bags may not inflate in side impact collision, because occupants move to the direction of the collision, and thus in side impacts, frontal air bag deployment does not provide occupant protection.
JB CAN 3.qxd 7/29/05 8:57 AM Page 57 Knowing your vehicle 1JBA3517 1JBA3522 1JBA3518 • Just before impact, drivers often brake heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the front portion of the vehicle causing it to “ride” under a vehicle with a higher ground clearance. Air bags may not inflate in this "under-ride" situation because deceleration forces that are detected by sensors may be significantly altered by such “under-ride” collisions.
JB CAN 3.qxd 7/29/05 8:57 AM Page 58 Knowing your vehicle Air bag system operation • Air bags only operate when the ignition switch is turned to the ON or START positions. • Air bags inflate instantly in the event of serious frontal or side collision (if equipped with side air bag or curtain air bag) in order to help protect the occupants from serious physical injury. • There is no single vehicle speed at which the air bags will inflate.
JB CAN 3.qxd 7/29/05 8:57 AM Page 59 Knowing your vehicle Noise and smoke When the air bags inflate, they make a loud noise and they leave smoke and powder in the air inside of the vehicle. This is normal. After the air bag inflates, you may feel substantial discomfort in breathing due to the contact of your chest to both the safety belt and the air bag, as well as from breathing the smoke and powder.
JB CAN 3.qxd 7/29/05 8:57 AM Page 60 Knowing your vehicle Air bag (Supplemental Restraint System) service WARNING • Never put child restraint in the front passenger seat. If the front passenger air bag inflates, it may cause severe or fatal injuries. • When children are seated in the rear outboard seats in which curtain air bags are equipped, be sure to put the child restraint system as far away from the door side as possible, and secure the child restraint system to be locked in position.
JB CAN 3.qxd 7/29/05 8:57 AM Page 61 Knowing your vehicle Repairing or scrapping the vehicle • Repairing/replacing the steering wheel, instrument panel, center console headliner/pillar trim, or modifying vehicle sheet metal components could disable the air bag system. Have such repairs and maintenance performed by an authorized Kia dealer. • Special care must be taken in scrapping or junking an air bag-equipped vehicle. Always refer such activities to a qualified professional.
