Passenger Safety
Side Airbag Crash Sensors
The Driverside Airbag Crash Sensor G179
and the Front Passengerside Airbag Crash
Sensor G180 replace the conventional
acceleration sensors for side impact
detection.
These new pressure sensors provide faster
detection of side impacts in the door area.
Sensor Function
The side airbag crash sensors are located in
the front doors between the inner and
outer body panels. These sensors react to
changes in air pressure in the door cavity.
Air is directed via an inflow duct to a plate.
The components on the plate react to rapid
changes in air pressure that occur during a
crash.
Sensor Signal
The sensor continuously monitors air
pressure in the door cavity. If the sensor
detects a rise in air pressure above a
predetermined value, it sends a signal to
the airbag control module.
Sensor Failure
If the sensor fails, the airbag warning lamp,
located in the instrument cluster, will come
on.
