A two-stage crash recognition system is used to ensure reliable side airbag activation.
Crash sensors G179/G180
The crash sensors for the side airbags are located
below the two front seats on the seat cross mem-
bers.
They are conditioned to respond to lateral force
application.
The crash sensors are known as
intelligent sensors.
They operate independently of each other.
In addition to an electronic acceleration sensor,
the entire electronics are integrated in the sensor
housing.
When a sensor recognises a crash, it sends a
signal to the airbag control unit.
SSP 192/070
When an impact occurs, the
crash sensor G179 informs the
airbag control unit that it has
recognised a crash.
