Hyundai Venue: Why Didn’t My Air Bag Go Off in a Collision? / Air bag inflation conditions
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 of impact resulting from a side
impact collision.
Although the driver’s and front passenger’s air bags are designed to inflate
only in frontal collisions, they also may inflate in other types of collisions if
the front impact sensors detect a sufficient impact. Side and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate only in side impact collisions or rollover situations, but they
may inflate in other collisions if the side impact sensors detect a sufficient impact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by bumps or objects on unimproved roads, the
air bags may deploy. Drive carefully on unimproved roads or on surfaces not designed
for vehicle traffic to prevent unintended air bag deployment.
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...
In certain low-speed collisions the air bags may not deploy. The air bags are
designed not to deploy in such cases because they may not provide benefits beyond
the protection of the seat belts...

The vehicle’s front and rear seats have adjustable head restraints. The head
restraints provide comfort for passengers, but more importantly they are designed
to help protect passengers from whiplash and other neck and spinal injuries during
an accident, especially in a rear impact collision.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in an accident, take the following
precautions when adjusting your head restraints:
Always properly adjust the head restraints for all passengers BEFORE
starting the vehicle.
NEVER let anyone ride in a seat with the head restraints removed or reversed.
