GENERAL
Deceleration sensors used for the airbag system are installed on various parts on the vehicle and calculate the deceleration rate of each part during a collision.
Depending on the situation, the airbag sensor assembly sends a deployment signal to each airbag and pretensioner based on the information from each sensor.
DEPLOYMENT CONDITION
FRONTAL COLLISION
Frontal collision signals are produced based on the information from the airbag sensor assembly and front airbag sensors.
Tech Tips
In case of a frontal collision, the SRS ignition signal could be output with the deceleration sensor ON signal even without a signal from the front airbag sensors.
Frontal collision signals are used to deploy the airbags and pretensioners in the illustration.
SIDE COLLISION (Pattern 1)
Side collision (Pattern 1) signals are produced based on the information from the airbag sensor assembly and side airbag sensor assembly.
Side collision (Pattern 1) signals are used to deploy the airbags and pretensioners in the illustration.
SIDE COLLISION (Pattern 2)
Side collision (Pattern 2) signals are produced based on the information from the airbag sensor assembly and side No. 2 airbag sensor assembly.
Side collision (Pattern 2) signals are used to deploy the airbags and pretensioners in the illustration.
