Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Air bag non-inflation conditions
• In certain low-speed collisions the air bags may not deploy. The air bags are
designed not to deploy in such cases because they may not provide benefits beyond
the protection of the seat belts in such collisions.
• Air bags are not designed to inflate in rear collisions, because occupants
are moved backward by the force of the impact.
Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Important - use of compact spare tire
Your vehicle is equipped with a compact spare tire. This compact spare tire takes
up less space than a regular- size tire. This tire is smaller than a conventional
tire and is designed for temporary use only.
You should drive carefully when the compact spare is in use. The compact
spare should be replaced by the proper conventional tire and rim at the first
opportunity.
