Why didn’t my air bag go off in a
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
collisions 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 causing
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 sensors is
altered, the air bags may deploy
when they should not or may not
deploy when they should.
• Installing bumper guards with non-
genuine Hyundai or non-equivalent
parts may adversely affect the
collision and air bag deployment
performance.
To ensure correct function of the
air bag system we recommend to
replace the bumper with genuine
Hyundai part or the equivalent (of
the genuine part) specified for your
vehicle.
• Place the START/STOP button to the
LOCK/OFF or ACC position, 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.
