a collision?
There are certain types of accidents in
which the airbag would not be expected
to provide additional protection. These
include rear impacts, second or third
collisions in multiple impact accidents,
as well as low speed impacts. Damage
to the vehicle indicates a collision ener-
gy 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 caus-
ing 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 airbag sensors. If the
location or angle of the sensors is
altered, the airbags may deploy
when they should not or may not
deploy when they should.
• Installing bumper guards with
non-genuine HYUNDAI or non-
equivalent parts may adversely
affect the collision and airbag
deployment performance.
To ensure correct function of the
airbag system, we recommend to
replace the bumper with genuine
HYUNDAI part or the equivalent (of
the genuine part) specified for
your vehicle.
• Place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF or ACC position, when
the vehicle is being towed to pre-
vent inadvertent airbag deploy-
ment.
• We recommend that all airbag
repairs are performed
