Why Didn't My Airbag Go Off In A Collision - Hyundai KONA 2024 Owner's Manual

Seats & Safety System
Why didn't my airbag go off in
a collision?
There are certain types of accidents in
which the airbag would not deploy
including rear impacts and second or
third collisions in multiple impact
accidents, as well as low speed impacts.
Damage to the vehicle indicates a
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
changed, the airbags may deploy when
they should not or may not deploy.
• Do not install bumper guards with non
genuine Hyundai or non-equivalent
parts. It may adversely affect the
collision and airbag deployment
performance.
• Press the Engine Start/Stop button to
the OFF or ACC position and wait for 3
minutes before the vehicle is towed to
prevent unintended airbag
deployment.
• Have all airbag repairs conducted by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
