The driver-side frontal acceleration sensor (B48/1) and passenger-side frontal acceleration sensor (B48/2) are mounted at the side of the front module.

IMPORTANT The restraint systems control unit (N2/7) can also be triggered on reception of the data of just one frontal acceleration sensor. In the event of the failure of one sensor, the signal of the second sensor continues to be evaluated.

The frontal acceleration sensors determine the acceleration values in the area of the left and right front sections. The acceleration sensors support the restraint systems control unit for calculation of the triggering characteristic in the event of a head-on collision (if or if not airbag is to be triggered).
