Why Didn't My Air Bag Go Off In A Collision - Hyundai NEXO 2023 Owner's Manual

WARNING
•
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.
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 collision ener-
gy absorption, and is not an indicator
of whether or not an air bag should
have inflated.
Air bag collision sensors
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.
•
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 POWER button to
the OFF position when the
vehicle is being towed to pre-
vent inadvertent air
deployment.
•
Have all air bag repairs per-
formed by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
