Kia Sportage: Curtain air bag
Curtain air bags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front
and rear doors.

* The actual air bags in the vehicle may
differ from the illustration.
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 severity of
impact. However, when side deployment
threshold is satisfied at frontimpact,
side 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 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.
WARNING

- 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, breakable, or
heavy objects on the coat hooks for
safety reasons.
