Satellite sensor integrates lateral collision "G" sensor which detects lateral collision impact that exceeds the specified limit of the vehicle. (Lateral collision "G" sensor adopts electronic sensor of which operating principles are the same as those of frontal collision "G" sensor in air bag diagnosis sensor unit.)
In a lateral collision that exceeds the specified limit of the vehicle, satellite sensor detects impact. If lateral collision safing sensor in air bag diagnosis sensor unit judges that impact is due to a collision, side air bag, curtain air bag and front seat belt pre-tensioner operate.
