Why Didn't My Air Bag Go Off
in a Collision?
Air bags are not designed to inflate in
every collision.There are certain types of
accidents in which the air bag would not
be expected to provide additional protec-
tion. These include rear impacts, second
or third collisions in multiple impact acci-
dents, as well as low speed impacts.
Damage to the vehicle indicates a colli-
sion energy absorption, and is not an
indicator of whether or not an air bag
should have inflated.
Air bag collision sensors
• NEVER place a rear-facing or
front-facing child restraint in the
front passenger’s seat of the
vehicle.
• An inflating frontal air bag could
forcefully strike a child resulting
in serious injury or death.
• Always properly restrain children
in an appropriate child restraint
in the rear seat of the vehicle.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of an air bag
deploying unexpectedly and caus-
ing serious injury or death:
• Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air
bags or sensors are installed.
• Do not perform maintenance on
or around the air bag sensors. If
the location or angle of the sen-
sors is altered, the air bags may
deploy when they should not or
may not deploy when they
should.
• Do not install bumper guards or
replace the bumper with a non-
genuine HYUNDAI parts. This
may adversely affect the collision
and air bag deployment perform-
ance.
• Place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF or ACC position when
the vehicle is being towed to pre-
vent inadvertent air bag deploy-
ment.
• Have all air bag repairs conduct-
ed by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
