Kia Soul: How does the air bag system operate / Front passenger's air bag warning label for child restraint system
WARNING
Never place a rear facing child restraint in the front passenger seat, unless
the passenger-side air bag is deactivated. An inflating passengerside air bag could
impact the rearfacing child restraint and kill the child.
In addition, we recommend that you do not place front-facing child restraints
in the front passenger’s seat either. If the front passenger air bag inflates, it
could cause serious or fatal injuries to the child.
If your vehicle is equipped with the passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF switch,
you can activate or deactivate the front passenger’s air bag when necessary.
For more details, please refer to “Passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF switch” on
page 3-50. (if equipped)
WARNING
