Description And Operation: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Kia Optima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Knee Airbag (KAB) is installed inside the crash pad lower panel and protects the driver in the event of a frontal crash. The SRSCM determines if and when to deploy the KAB.

NOTE: Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module (squib) even if you are using a specified tester. If the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in serious personal injury.
