Impact Sensors (Restraints Sensor)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
For this vehicle line, the SRS uses 6 satellite sensors in addition to the RCM . The RCM is mounted to the center tunnel beneath the console. All vehicles have 2 front impact severity sensors (frontal restraints sensor) located in the front of the vehicle, behind the grille mounted on the radiator support. The first row impact sensors (side restraints sensor 1) are mounted behind the trim panel near the floor on the B-pillar, the second row sensors (side restraints sensor 2) are located on each C-pillar. Mounting orientation is critical for correct operation of all impact sensors.
