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.
