5.1. Crash Safety Module

The Crash Safety Module is contained in a housing with three sockets.

Two sockets serve to connect the wiring harness. One other socket is provided for the cockpit wiring harness.

The Crash Safety Module is located in the cockpit module behind the glove box, as it was not possible to locate it centrally on the transmission tunnel due to the size of the Crash Safety Module and the wiring harness connection. Only the associated sensor system has remained on the transmission tunnel, close to the center of gravity.

The Crash Safety Module does not contain any sensors. These have been relocated to an additional central sensor on the transmission tunnel.
