Kia Niro: Curtain air bag / Air bag collision sensors
(1) SRS control module
(2) Front impact sensor
(3) Side pressure sensor (if equipped)
(4) Side impact sensor (if equipped)
WARNING
- Do not hit or allow any objects to impact the locations where air bag
or sensors are installed.
This may cause unexpected air bag deployment, which could result in serious personal injury or death. - If the installation location or angle of the sensors is altered in any
way, the air bags may deploy when they should not or they may not deploy when
they should, causing severe injury or death.
Therefore, do not try to perform maintenance on or around the air bag sensors. We recommend that the system be serviced by an authorized Kia dealer. - Problems may arise if the sensor installation angles are changed due to the deformation of the front bumper, body or front door and B/C pillars where side collision sensors are installed. We recommend that the system be serviced by an authorized Kia dealer.
- Your vehicle has been designed to absorb impact and deploy the air bag(s) in certain collisions. Installing bumper guards or replacing a bumper with non-genuine parts may adversely affect your vehicles collision and air bag deployment performance.
