Modules


Component Locations

MRS Module, crash control.





- The MRS Control Unit contains 2 internal collision detection sensors to determine the severity of the crash.
- The MRS control unit is secured centrally on the body floor panel (center tunnel - between the handbrake and the gear selector lever) by three nuts. A 50-pin connector provides the MRS control unit connection with the vehicle harness. Access to the control unit is only possible when the main floor carpet is removed from the vehicle.

Side (Thorax) Airbag Modules
The driver and passenger side (thorax) airbags are mounted to the front seat backrest frame and are designed to protect the ribs and upper internal organs during side impacts. The modules are side specific (i.e. a right hand module must be fitted to a right hand seat and a left hand module must be fitted to a left hand seat).


Side 'Thorax' Airbags
Side 'Thorax' airbags are mounted on the outboard edge of the seat backrest frame.

Passenger Airbag Module
The passenger front airbag module is located above the stowage tray, directly in front of the passenger seat. The airbag module is mounted to the body cross car beam by means of four Torx bolts, which are capable of withstanding the forces of deployment.


Drivers Airbag Module
The driver's airbag is of a two-stage design and attached to the steering wheel by two captive bolts. Electrical connection to the MRS control unit is provided via the rotary coupler.
