2. OPERATING RANGE
In the event of the collision, the air bag will be deployed when the G value detected by the G
sensor in the SDM is beyond the impact limit. ▶
Seat Belt Status Air Bag OperationSeat Belt Pretensioner Operation
Fastened Over reference speed Below reference speed
Unfastened Below reference speed Inoperative
Failure, during initial
diagnosisBelow reference speed Below reference speed
No sensor Below reference speed Below reference speed
This is based on frontal collision and reference speed is between approx. 4 and 24 km/h. *
The air bag is deployed in the event of frontal collisions while drving.
But, there are exceptional cases as follows: ▶
Situation Condition
May operate or not
Never operate
Seldom oeprate
Underbody impact from the road surface, impact against the curb at a
very high speed, or dropping impact onto the road surface with a
large angle occurs.
The vehicle rolls over or tips over sideward by severe impact. -
-
A collision with oblique impact to the front seat direction or a front collision
to the diagonal direction occurs.
A front/rear collision occurs.
The vehicle rolls over or tips over sideward with minor impact.
The air bag warning lamp is on. -
-
-
-The vehicle is stationary or a front collision occurs with low speed.
A rear collision occurs.
A minor collision occurs. -

3. GENERAL WARNINGS
Do not diagnose the circuit with a circuit tester or attempt to modify any air bag components including
the steering wheel, air bag mounting area and harness.
Incorrect inspection could cause a problem with an air bag and seat belt pretensioner, and they
cannot protect occupants properly. Inspection and repair service should be done only by a qualified
technician.
An infant or a child should not be seated on the front seat alone or on an adult's lap. An infant or a
child could be severely injured by air bag deployed.
A child restraint system should be placed on the rear seat which has the 3-point type seat
belt.
Never install a child restraint system on the front seat. Impact by the air bag inflation might cause
severe injury or even death.
When an occupant fastens the seat belt with unstable or inclined posture, the air bag cannot protect
the occupant properly. Moreover, the occupant may be injured by the air bag.
Do not incline toward the steering wheel while driving. If you hit the air bag before it is fully inflated,
brain or neck injury, or even death can occur.
Be careful not to strike the steering wheel, air bag mounting area, any air bag related component
(including wiring) and seat belt pretensioner. You might get severely injured by sudden deployment o
f
the air bag.
The air bag contains explosive materials, so handle it carefully when disposing or replacing it.
The air bag components will be very hot immediately after deployment. Do not touch them until they
cool down.
Once the air bag/seat belt pretentioner is triggered, it will not deploy again even if an additional impac
t
is applied to it. Once triggered air bag/seat belt pretensioner related components cannot be reused,
so they should be removed from the vehicle and the whole system should be replaced with a new
one.
Do not place any object or sticker on the air bag mounting area for correct and safe activation of the
air bag.
Do not bang the door. Otherwise, an air bag might operate erroneously.
Hold the outer rim of the steering so that the air bag can inflate without any hindrance.
Do not incline toward the steering wheel or hold the steering wheel with your hands
crossed. It will cause a problem with the air bag activation or severe injury when the air bag
inflates.
Never put your hands or feet on the dash board. You can severely injured when the air bag
inflates.
It is normal that a loud noise, dust and smoke occur when the air bag and seat belt pretensioner
operate.
The gas come out of air bag/seat belt pretensioner activation is non-toxic nitrogen gas. However, if
this gas occurs irritation to your skin, eyes, nose, and so on, wash it out with clean water. Seek
medical help if symptoms develop. -

The windshield or windows can be broken due to impact from driver or passenger air bag
inflation.
When any repairs are needed to the air bag mounting area or its surrounding area, or when an
accident has occurred without the air bag deployment, have the air bag system/seat belt
pretensioner checked for safety.
The air bag is a unit to save an occupant's life from sudden accident and it inflates at a very fast
speed by gas with high temperature, which might cause injury, such as an abrasion, bruise and
burn depending on the accident conditions.
Normal inflation of the air bag could make a loud noise and smoke (non-toxic gas).
A minor collision, which occupants can be protected only by seat belts, will not activate the air bag
system. It is because that air bag inflation at a minor collision could cause more injury such as an
abrasion, bruise and burn.
Check the air bag system even though there is no fault in the air bag system when 10 years have
passed after air bag installation. -

1. OVERVIEW
Collision sensors, a kind of impact G (acceleration) sensor, detect the lateral and longitudinal collisions
and determine whether or not to deploy air bags. The roles of each collision sensor are as follows:
Front G sensors (inside the air bag unit))
Send signals to the front air bags (driver and passenger air bags) and the driver's and front
passenger's seat belt pretensioners. When the front collision G sensor sends out only the air bag
deployment signal, the signal deploys the two front air bags and activates their seat belt
pretensioners.
Once an air bag deploys, its repair parts vary according to the deployment situation and damage to the
vehicle from collision. Needed repairs also slightly vary between the front air bags and the curtain air
bags. The following are the differences:
Replacement parts when the front air bags deploy:
Air bag unit and its wiring (including connector), seat belt pretensioner and its wiring (including
connector), whole front air bags, instrument panel (for vehicle with passenger air bag) For the air bag system in KORANDO SPORTS, the seat belt pretensioners on both sides as well as the
driver/passenter air bags are deplyed when the front air bag is deployed like as they did.

Air Bag Unit (SDM)
The collision G sensor is installed inside
this. And it sends out signals to deploy the
front air bags (driver and passenger air
bags) and/or the driver and passenger
seat belt retensioners. When the front
collision G sensor sends out only the air
bag deployment signal, the signal deploys
the two front air bags and activates their
seat belt pretensioners.
