Impact Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The SRS uses 3 satellite sensors in addition to the RCM. The RCM is mounted to the center tunnel beneath the console. The front impact severity sensor (frontal restraint sensor) is located in the front of the vehicle, behind the grille, mounted on the radiator support. The side impact sensors are mounted in each of the doors, behind the trim panel. Mounting orientation is critical for correct operation of all impact sensors.
