Kia EV2: Overview / Driver’s and passenger’s front air bag

Kia EV2 (QV1, 2026-2026) Owner's Manual / Seating and safety restraints / Air bag - supplemental restraint system / Overview / Driver’s and passenger’s front air bag


	Driver's front air bag Passenger's front air bag

The indicators display the words AIRBAG on the airbag pad cover of the steering wheel and on the passenger's side front panel pad above the glove box.

The air bag modules are located both in the centre of the steering wheel and in the front passenger's panel above the glove box. When the SRSCM detects a sufficiently severe impact to the front of the vehicle, it will automatically deploy the front air bags.

Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will separate under pressure to allow full inflation of the air bags. Further opening of the covers then allows full inflation of the air bags.

A fully inflated air bag, in combination with a properly worn seat belt, slows the driver's or the passenger's forward motion, reducing the risk of head and chest injury.

After complete inflation, the air bag immediately starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain forward visibility and the ability to steer or operate other controls.
