Hyundai Santa Fe: Why didn’t my air bag go off in a collision? / Air bag collision sensors
WARNING
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 sensors. 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.
- Installing bumper guards with nongenuine Hyundai or non-equivalent
parts 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 when the vehicle is being towed to prevent inadvertent air
bag deployment.
- Have all air bag repairs performed by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

There are certain types of accidents in which the air bag 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...
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate in a frontal collision depending on the
severity of impact of the front collision.
Side and curtain air bags
Side and curtain air bags are designed to inflate when an impact is detected
by side collision sensors depending on the severity, speed or angles of impact resulting
from a side impact collision...
