Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Curtain air bag
Curtain air bags are located along both sides of the roof rails above the front
and rear doors.
They are designed to help protect occupants in certain side impacts and to help
prevent them from ejecting out of the vehicle as a result of a rollover, especially
when the seatbelts are also in use.
The curtain air bags are designed to deploy during certain side impact collisions,
depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact.
