Kia Telluride: Air bag - advanced supplemental restraint system / Occupant Detection System (ODS)

Your Kia Telluride is equipped with an Occupant Detection System (ODS) integrated into the front passenger seat.

Kia Telluride Occupant Detection System components in the front passenger seat

The Occupant Detection System continuously monitors whether the front passenger seat is occupied by a properly seated passenger and determines whether the front passenger air bag should remain enabled or be deactivated. The system controls only the front passenger air bag and is designed to improve occupant protection in the Kia Telluride.

Do not place any objects in front of the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF (PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator icon) indicator, as it should remain clearly visible at all times.
