Hyundai i10 Owner's Manual page 89

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 roll-
over accidents because front air bag
deployment would not provide addi-
tional occupant protection.

• Vehicles equipped with rollover sen-
sor
The side and curtain air bags may
inflate in a rollover situation, when
it is detected by the rollover sensor.
• Vehicles not equipped with rollover
sensor
The side and/or curtain air bags

may inflate when the vehicle is
rolled over by a side impact colli-
sion, if the vehicle is equipped with
side and/or curtain air bags.
Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated and the colli-
sion energy is absorbed by the vehi-
cle structure.
