Why didn’t my air bag go off in a
collision? (Airbags are not
designed to inflate in every colli-
sion.)
There are certain types of acci-
dents in which the air bag would
not be expected to provide addi-
tional protection to the vehicles
occupants.
These include rear impacts, sec-
ond or third collisions in multiple
impact accidents, as well as low
speed impacts.

Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate
in moderate to severe frontal colli-
sions within a limited range of
angles. The impact forces measured
by the front impact sensors and SRS
control module determine whether or
not to inflate the front airbags.
WARNING
Do not hit or allow any objects
to impact the locations where
air bags or sensors are
installed.
This may cause unexpected
air bag deployment, which
could result in serious per-
sonal injury or death.
If the installation location or
angle of the sensors is altered
in any way, the air bags may
deploy when they should not
or they may not deploy when
they should, causing severe
injury or death.
Therefore, do not try to per-
form maintenance on or
around the air bag sensors.
Have the vehicle checked and
repaired by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

(Continued)
Problems may arise if the sen-
sor installation angles are
changed due to the deforma-
tion of the front bumper, body
or B and C pillars where side
collision sensors are
installed. Have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Your vehicle has been
designed to absorb impact
and deploy the air bag(s) in
certain collisions. Installing
bumper guards or replacing a
bumper with non-genuine
parts may adversely affect
your vehicle’s collision and air
bag deployment performance.

Side impact and curtain air bagsSide impact and curtain air bags are
generally designed to inflate in mod-
erate to severe side collisions. The
impact forces measured by the side
impact sensors and SRS control
module determine whether or not to
inflate the side impact airbags.
Although the front air bags (driver’s
and front passenger’s air bags) are
designed to inflate only in frontal col-
lisions, they also may inflate in other
types of collisions if the front impact
sensors detect a sufficient impact.
Side impact and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate only in side
impact collisions, but they may inflate
in other collisions if the side impact
sensors detect a sufficient impact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved
roads, the air bags may deploy. Drive
carefully on unimproved roads or on
surfaces not designed for vehicle
traffic to prevent unintended air bag
deployment.
Air bag non-inflation conditions
In certain low-speed collisions the
air bags may not deploy. The air
bags are designed not to deploy in
such cases because they may not
provide occupants protection
beyond the protection of the seat
belts in such collisions.

Safety features of your vehicle
Frontal airbags may not inflate in
"under-ride" collisions where the
collision energy is absorbed above
the vehicle's front bumper. Side impact and curtain air bags
may not inflate in a rollover acci-
dent unless the side of the vehicle
is struck with sufficient force to
cause air bag inflation to occur. Air bags may not inflate if the vehi-
cle collides with objects such as a
utility pole or tree, where the point
of impact is concentrated and the
collision energy is absorbed by the
vehicle structure.
