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 colli-
sions in multiple impact accidents, as
well as low speed impacts. Damage
to the vehicle indicates a collision
energy absorption, and is not an indi-
cator 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 chil-
dren in an appropriate child
restraint in the rear seat of the
vehicle.
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
•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 Genesis part.
This may adversely affect the
collision and air bag deploy-
ment performance.
•Press the Engine Start/Stop
button to the OFF or ACC
position when the vehicle is
being towed to prevent inad-
vertent air bag deployment.
•Have all air bag repairs conduct-
ed by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
