Kia K900: Air bag collision sensors
(1) SRS control module
(2) Front impact sensor
(3) Side impact sensor (front)
(4) Side impact sensor (rear)
WARNING
Air bag sensors
- 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. Therefore, do not try to perform maintenance on or around the air bag sensors. Have the vehicle checked and repaired by an authorized K900 Kia dealer.
Problems may arise if the sensor installation angles are changed due to the deformation of the front bumper, body, front door or C Pillar where the collision sensors are installed. Have the vehicle checked and repaired by an authorized K900 Kia dealer.
Installing aftermarket bumper guards or replacing a bumper with non-genuine parts may adversely affect your vehicle’s collision and air bag deployment performance.
