Safety features of your vehicle WARNING • Do not hit or allow any objects to impact the locations where air bags or sensors are installed. This may cause unexpected air bag deployment, which could result in serious personal injury or death. • If the installation location or angle of the sensors is altered in any way, the air bags may deploy when they should not or they may not deploy when they should, causing severe injury or death. Therefore, do not try to perform maintenance on or around the air bag sensors. Have the vehicle checked and repaired by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. • Problems may arise if the sensor installation angles are changed due to the deformation of the front bumper, body, front door and B pillars where side collision sensors are installed. Have the vehicle checked and repaired by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. (Continued) (Continued) • Installing bumper guards (or side step or running board) or replacing a bumper (or front door module) with non-genuine parts may adversely affect your vehicle's collision and air bag deployment performance. WARNING If your vehicle is equipped with side and curtain air bag, set the ignition switch to OFF or ACC position when the vehicle is being towed to prevent inadvertent AIR BAG Deployment. The side and curtain air bag may deploy when the ignitions is ON, and the rollover sensor detects the situation as a rollover. 1VQA2084 Air bag inflation conditions Front air bags Front air bags are designed to inflate in a frontal collision depending on the intensity, speed or angles of impact of the front collision. 3 57
