Why didn’t My Airbag Go Off in
a Collision?
There are certain types of accidents in
which the airbag 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 collision energy
absorption, and is not an indicator of
whether or not an airbag should have
inflated.
Airbag collision sensors
WARNING To reduce the risk of an airbag deploying
unexpectedly and causing serious injury
or death:
• Do not hit or allow any objects to impact the locations where airbags or
sensors are installed.
• Do not perform maintenance on or around the airbag sensors. If the
location or angle of the sensors is
altered, the airbags may deploy when
they should not or may not deploy
when they should.
• Installing bumper guards with non-genuine Hyundai parts may
adversely affect the collision and airbag
deployment performance.
To ensure correct function of the airbag
system, have the bumper replaced with
genuine Hyundai part specified for your
vehicle.
• Press the Start/Stop button to the OFF or ACC position and wait for 3 minutes
when the vehicle is being towed to
prevent inadvertent airbag
deployment.
• Have all airbag repairs conducted by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Airbag inflation conditions
Front airbags
B3003401
Front airbags are designed to inflate in a
frontal collision depending on the
severity of impact of the front collision.
Side and curtain airbags
B3003402
B3003403
Side and curtain airbags are designed to
inflate when an impact is detected by side
collision sensors depending on the
severity of impact resulting from a side
collision.Although the driver’s and front
passenger’s airbags are designed to
inflate in frontal collisions, they also may
inflate in other types of collisions if the
front impact sensors detect a sufficient
impact. Side and curtain airbags are
designed to inflate in side impact
collisions, but they may inflate in other
collisions if the side impact sensors
detect a sufficient impact.
Also, the side and curtain airbags are
designed to inflate when a rollover is
detected by a rollover sensor.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved roads,
the airbags may deploy. Drive carefully on
unimproved roads or on surfaces not
designed for vehicle traffic to prevent
unintended airbag deployment.
Airbag non-inflation conditions
B3003404
In certain low-speed collisions the
airbags may not deploy. The airbags are
designed not to deploy in such cases
because they may not provide benefits
beyond the protection of the seat belts.
Hyundai_CE_en_US.book Page 52

3-53
B3003405
Front airbags are not designed to inflate
in rear collisions, because occupants are
moved backward by the force of the
impact. In this case, inflated airbags
would not provide any additional benefit.
B3003406
Front airbags may not inflate in side
impact collisions, because occupants
move in the direction of the collision, and
thus in side impacts, front airbag
deployment would not provide additional
occupant protection.
However, side and curtain airbags may
inflate depending on the severity of
impact.
B3003407
In an angled collision, the force of impact
may direct the occupants in a direction
where the airbags would not be able to
provide any additional benefit, and thus
the sensors may not deploy any airbags.
B3003408
Just before impact, drivers often brake
heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the
front portion of the vehicle causing it to
“ride” under a vehicle with a higher
ground clearance. Airbags may not inflate
in this “underride” situation because
deceleration forces that are detected by
sensors may be significantly reduced by
such “underride” collisions.
Hyundai_CE_en_US.book Page 53

Seats & Safety System
3-54
B3003409
Front airbags may not inflate in rollover
accidents because front airbag
deployment would not provide additional
occupant protection.
The side and curtain airbags may inflate in
a rollover situation, when it is detected by
the rollover sensor.
B3003410
Airbags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility poles
or trees, where the point of impact is
concentrated and the collision energy is
absorbed by the vehicle structure.
SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and
there are no parts you can safely service
by yourself. If the SRS airbag warning
light does not illuminate when the
Start/Stop button is in the ON position, or
continuously remains on, have the
system be immediately inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.Any work on the SRS system, such as
removing, installing, repairing, or any
work on the steering wheel, the front
passenger’s panel, front seats and roof
rails be performed by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Improper handling of
the SRS system may result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death take the following precautions:
• Do not attempt to modify or disconnect
the SRS components or wiring,
including the addition of any kind of
badges to the pad covers or
modifications to the body structure.
• Do not place objects over or near the airbag modules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the front
passenger’s panel above the glove box.
• Clean the airbag pad covers with a soft cloth moistened with plain water.
Solvents or cleaners could adversely
affect the airbag covers and proper
deployment of the system.
• Have the inflated airbags replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• If components of the airbag system must be discarded, or if the vehicle
must be scrapped, certain safety
precautions must be observed. Consult
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for the
necessary information. Failure to follow
these precautions could increase the
risk of personal injury.
