Safety
The complete part number of the airbag control unit, together with the index (colour code) must
be quoted when ordering side impact sensors because these sensors are not labelled with a
parameter index. The part number and the colour index can only be read out, or reproduced,
from the production data (VIN, year of manufacture, list of PR numbers) by using the workshop
tester.
As before, the system has two lateral
acceleration sensors, located beneath the seats.
The lateral acceleration sensors are
programmed with a vehicle-specific parameter
when they are replaced.
Where repair or replacement of defective parts
is needed, it is important to specify the correct
SP-number.
