Srs Warning Light; Why Didn't My Airbag Go Off In A Collision - Hyundai SX2 Owner's Manual

SRS warning light

WL_AirbagWarningLamp
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System)
airbag warning light on the instrument
panel displays the airbag symbol in the
illustration. The light indicates if there is a
potential problem with your airbag
system, which could include your side
and/or curtain airbags used for rollover
protection (if equipped rollover sensor).
WARNING
If your SRS malfunctions, the airbags may
not inflate properly during a collision
increasing the risk of serious injury or
death.
Your SRS malfunctions in the following
conditions:
• The light does not turn on for about
three to six seconds when the igintion
switch is in the ON position.
• The light stays on after illuminating for
about three to six seconds.
• The light comes on whilst the vehicle is
moving.
• The light blinks when the engine is
running.
We recommend that a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer inspect the SRS as
soon as possible.
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 air bags 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.
• Move the Engine Start/Stop button to
the OFF or ACC position and wait for 3
minutes before the vehicle is towed to
prevent unintended air bag
deployment.
• We recommend that all air bag repairs
are conducted by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
