2006 Kia Sedona Owners Manual

Features of your vehicle
Air bag system operation
•  Air   bag  deployment   depends  on   a
number  of   factors  including   vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the densi-
ty  and   stiffness   of  the   vehicles  or
objects which  your  vehicle hits  in the
collision. However, factors are not limit-
ed to those mentioned above.
•  In order to  help provide protection in  a
severe  collision,   the  air   bags  must
inflate  rapidly.  The  speed  of  air  bag
inflation   is   a   consequence   of   the
extremely short time in which a collision
occurs and the need  to get the air bag
between the  occupant and the  vehicle
structures before the occupant impacts
those structures. This speed of inflation
reduces  the   risk  of   serious  or   life-
threatening injuries in a severe collision
and is thus a necessary part  of air bag
design.
However,  air   bag  inflation   can  also
cause   injuries   which   normally   can
include  facial  abrasions,  bruises  and
broken  bones,  and  sometimes  more
serious  injuries because  that inflation
speed  also   causes  the  air   bags  to
expand with a great deal force.
Air bag only operates 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.
The   front  air   bags   will   completely
inflate and deflate in an instant.
It is  virtually impossible for  you to see
the air bags inflate during  an accident.
It is much more likely that you will sim-
ply see  the deflated  air bags  hanging
out of their storage compartments after
the collision.
There is  no single speed at  which the
air bags will inflate.
Generally,  air  bags  are   designed  to
inflate by the severity of a collision and
its  direction. These two  factors  deter-
mine whether the sensors send out an
electronic deployment/inflation signal.
There
are
even
circumstances
under which contact  with the steer-
ing  wheel  air  bag  can  cause  fatal
injuries,  especially if  the  occupant
is  positioned  excessively  close  to
the steering wheel.
