Side Impact Sensor

SIDE IMPACT SENSOR




The side impact sensors (side airbag sensor, curtain airbag sensor) are installed at the bottom of the center pillars and the rear quarter pillars.

If the sensor in the side impact sensor detects an impact exceeding the specified level from the side, it sends a signal which is used for airbag system deployment judgment to the airbag control module.

Signals from the side airbag sensors are effective for both the side airbags and curtain airbags, while signals from the curtain airbag sensors detect impact to the rear seat sides and let only the curtain airbags deploy.
