WSS sensors (Weight Sensing System),

• left front WSS sensor (Weight Sensing System) (B48/11),
• right front WSS sensor (Weight Sensing System) (B48/12),
• left rear WSS sensor (Weight Sensing System) (B48/13) and
• right rear WSS sensor (Weight Sensing System) (B48/14),

are located in the passenger seat frame.

The surface weight is detected by the sensors. The detected values are transmitted to the WSS control unit (Weight Sensing System) (N2/13) and used for triggering the restraint system and evaluated.
