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.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
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 HYUNDAI parts.
This may adversely affect the
collision and air bag deploy-
ment performance.
Place the Engine Start/Stop
button in 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 HYUNDAI
dealer.

Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags and the driver's knee
air bag are designed to inflate in a
frontal collision depending on the
severity of impact of the front colli-
sion.
Side and curtain air bags
Side and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate when an impact is
detected by side collision sensors
depending on the severity of impact
resulting from a side impact collision.Although the driver's and front pas-
senger's air bags are designed to
inflate only in frontal collisions, they
also may inflate in other types of col-
lisions if the front impact sensors
detect a sufficient impact. Side and
curtain air bags are designed to
inflate only in side impact collisions
or rollover situations, 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.

In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bags would
not be able to provide any additional
benefit, and thus the sensors may
not deploy any air bags.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. Air
bags may not inflate in this "under-
ride" situation because deceleration
forces that are detected by sensors
may be significantly reduced by such
"underride" collisions.Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because air bag
deployment could not provide protec-
tion to the occupants.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate when the vehicle is rolled
over by a side impact collision.

Automatic-Dimming Night Vision
Safety™ (NVS®) Mirror
The NVS®Mirror automatically
reduces glare by monitoring light lev-
els in the front and the rear of the
vehicle. Any object that obstructs
either light sensor will degrade the
automatic dimming control feature.
For more information regarding
NVS
®mirrors and other applica-
tions, please refer to the Gentex
website:

Your mirror will automatically dim
upon detecting glare from the vehi-
cles traveling behind you.
The mirror defaults to the ON posi-
tion each time the vehicle is started.
Z-Nav™ Compass Display
The NVS™ Mirror in your vehicle is
also equipped with a Z-Nav™
Compass that shows the vehicle
Compass heading in the Display
Window using the 8 basic cardinal
headings (N, NE, E, SE, etc.).

The Compass can be turned ON and
OFF, but it returns to ON after the
ignition is cycled.
1. Press and release the Control
Button within 1 second to turn the
display feature OFF.
2. Press and release the Control
Button again within 1 second to

Control Button and are detailed
below.
Information
Press the control button in the hole
with a pointed object, such as the tip
of a ballpoint pen or similar object.
There is a difference between mag-
netic north and true north. To com-
pensate for this difference you will
need to adjust the Zone setting based
on where you live.

[A] : Rear Sensor
Reverse Parking Distance Warning
system assists the driver during
reverse movement of the vehicle by
chiming if any object is sensed with-
in the distance of 48 in (120 cm)
behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental sys-
tem that senses objects within the
range and location of the sensors, it
cannot detect objects in other areas
where sensors are not installed.
Operation of Reverse Parking
Distance Warning system
Operating condition
Reverse Parking Distance Warning
system will activate when backing
up with the ignition switch in the
ON position. However, if vehicle
speed exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h), the
system may not detect objects.
If vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph
(10 km/h), the system will not warn
you even though objects are
detected.
When more than two objects are
sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.

Always look around your vehi-
cle to make sure there are not
any objects or obstacles
before moving the vehicle in
any direction to prevent a col-
lision.
Always pay close attention
when the vehicle is driven
close to objects, particularly
pedestrians, and especially
children.
Be aware that some objects
may not be visible on the
screen or be detected by the
sensors, due to the objects
distance, size or material, all
of which can limit the effec-
tiveness of the sensor.

Types of warning sound and
indicator
The indicator may differ from the
illustration depending on
objects or sensors status. If the
indicator blinks, we recommend
that you have your vehicle
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
If the audible warning does not
sound or if the buzzer sounds
intermittently when the gear is R
(Reverse) position, this may
indicate a malfunction with
Reverse Parking Distance
Warning system. If this occurs,
we recommend that you have
your vehicle checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible.
Non-operational conditions of
Reverse Parking Distance
Warning system
Reverse Parking Distance Warning
system may not operate normally
when:
Moisture is frozen to the sensor.
Sensor is covered with foreign mat-
ter, such as snow or water, or the
sensor cover is blocked.

There is a possibility of Reverse
Parking Distance Warning system
malfunction when:
Driving on uneven road surfaces
such as unpaved roads, gravel,
bumps, or gradient.
Objects generating excessive noise
such as vehicle horns, loud motor-
cycle engines, or truck air brakes
can interfere with the sensor.
Heavy rain or water spray is present.
Wireless transmitters or mobile
phones are present near the sensor.
The sensor is covered with snow.
Any non-factory equipment or
accessories have been installed, or
if the vehicle bumper height or sen-
sor installation has been modified.
Detecting range may decrease
when:
Outside air temperature is extreme-
ly hot or cold.
Undetectable objects smaller than
40 in (100 cm) and narrower than 6
in (14 cm) in diameter.
The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor:
Sharp or slim objects such as
ropes, chains or small poles.
Objects, which tend to absorb sen-
sor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow. Reverse Parking Distance
Warning system can only sense
objects within the range and
location of the sensors; It can-
not detect objects in other areas
where sensors are not installed.
Also, small or slim objects, such
as poles or objects located
between sensors may not be
detected by the sensors.
Always visually check behind
the vehicle when backing up.
Be sure to inform any drivers of
the vehicle that may be unfamil-
iar with the system regarding
the systems capabilities and
limitations.
