Air Bag Inflation Conditions; Front Air Bags - Hyundai Santa Fe Owner's Manual

WARNING
• Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air bag
or sensors are installed.
This may cause unexpected air
bag deployment, which could
result in serious personal 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 perform
maintenance on or around the air
bag sensors. Have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

• Problems may arise if the sensor
installation angles are changed
due to the deformation of the
front bumper, body or front doors
and/or C pillars where side colli-
sion sensors are installed. Have
the vehicle checked and repaired
by an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er.
• Your vehicle has been designed
to absorb impact and deploy the
air bag(s) in certain collisions.
Installing bumper guards (or side
step or running board) or replac-
ing a bumper (or front door) with
non-genuine parts may adversely
affect your vehicles collision and
air bag deployment performance.
WARNING
If your vehicle is equipped with side
and curtain air bag, set the ignition
switch to OFF or ACC position
when the vehicle is being towed.
The side and curtain air bag may
deploy when the ignitions is ON,
and the rollover sensor detects the
situation as a rollover.
