WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2015 Jaguar XKR-S, 2015 Jaguar XKR, 2015 Jaguar XK, 2014 Jaguar XKR-S, and 2014 Jaguar XKR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Two front impact sensors are attached to the body behind the radiator grille. The RCM processes the crash data sent by the impact sensors against stored data, and deploys the front air bags and pretensioners.
Two side impact sensors are mounted at the base of the B pillars to facilitate lateral impact sensing. In the event of a side impact, the RCM processes the crash data against the stored data. The RCM will deploy the side air bag module on the side the deployment request was initiated.
