Kia Picanto: Airbag Module / Knee Airbag (KAB) Module
Description and operation
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.
Never
attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module (squib)
even if you are using the specified tester. If the circuit resistance is
measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in
serious personal injury. |
