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 protection. These
include rear impacts, second or third col-
lisions in multiple impact accidents, as
well as low speed impacts. Damage to
the vehicle indicates a collision energy
absorption, and is not an indicator of
whether or not an air bag should have
inflated.
Air bag collision sensors
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 part. This may adversely
affect the collision and air bag
deployment performance.
• We recommend that all repairs
are conducted by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
