Safety system of your 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 pro-
tection. These include rear impacts,
second or third collisions in multiple
impact accidents, as well as low
speed impacts. Damage to the vehi-
cle indicates a collision energy
absorption, and is not an indicator of
whether or not an air bag should
have inflated.
Air bag collision sensors
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 part. This may
adversely affect the collision
and air bag deployment per-
formance.
• Press the Engine Start/Stop
button to the OFF or ACC
position, when the vehicle is
being towed to prevent inad-
vertent air bag deployment.
• We recommend that all air bag
repairs are conducted by an
authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
