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: Seat Belt Pretensioner (BPT)
Description and operation
Description
The Seat Belt Pretensioners (BPT) are installed inside the Center Pillars (LH
& RH). When a vehicle crashes at a certain degree of frontal impact, the seat belt
pretensioners help reduce the severity of injury to the front seat occupants by
retracting the seat belt webbing.
This prevents the front occupants from thrusting forward and hitting the steering
wheel or the instrument panel when the vehicle crashes.
