General Information: General Description

The Pressure-Side Impact Sensor and Side Impact Sensor are installed in the left and the right side of front door, and in the lower part of B-pillar, respectively.

The Pressure-Side Impact Sensor senses an impact based on an acceleration during a collision. Unlike the conventional acceleration sensor, the Pressure Sensor senses an air pressure caused by distortion of the door during a collision, and measures the impact using this information.

The SRSCM detects the impact signals of the Pressure-Side Impact Sensor and Side Impact Sensor, and compares them with signals of the safing sensor (located inside the SRSCM). If the signals of all sensors are judged as a collision, the side-airbag and the curtain-airbag will be deployed.
