An inflating air bag can forcefully
strike a child or Child Restraint
System resulting in serious or fatal
injury.
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 pro-
tection. These include rear impacts,
second or third collisions in multiple
impact accidents, as well as low
speed impacts. Damage to the vehi-
cle indicates a collision energy
absorption, and is not an indicator of
whether or not an air bag should
have inflated.
Air bag collision sensors
• Extreme hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing Child Restraint
System on a seat protected by
an air bag in front of it!
• NEVER use a rearward facing
Child Restraint System on a
seat protected by an ACTIVE
AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH
or SERIOUS INJURY to the
CHILD can occur.
• Never put a Child Restraint
System in the front passen-
ger’s seat. If the front passen-
ger air bag inflates, it would
cause serious or fatal injuries.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of an air bag
deploying unexpectedly and
causing serious injury or death:
• Do not hit or allow any objects
to impact the locations where
air bags or sensors are
installed.

WARNING
(Continued)
• Do not perform maintenance
on or around the air bag sen-
sors. If the location or angle
of the sensors 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 per-
formance.
• Place the ignition switch to
the LOCK/OFF or ACC posi-
tion, when the vehicle is being
towed to prevent inadvertent
air bag deployment.
• We recommend that all air bag
repairs are conducted by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
