SRS System Description - Impact Sensor
Front Impact Sensor/Side Impact Sensor
The front impact sensor is installed on the out side of the front side frame. A front impact sensor converts the impact to an electrical signal and transmits it to the SRS unit when impact exceeding regulated intensity is received in a head-on collision.
Side impact sensors 1 and 2 are located on the floor near the right and left side of the vehicle, and detect the impact on the front door and around the cargo side lining. The G sensor within the side impact sensor detects the impact force from the side impact. If the impact exceeds the preset threshold value, it is converted into an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the SRS unit.
