Satellite Sensor

COMPONENT PARTS

MAIN COMPONENT PARTS AND FUNCTIONS : Satellite sensor


FRONT SATELLITE SENSOR






- Front door satellite sensor (1) is installed to front door panel front side.


- Front door satellite sensor integrates lateral collision "G" sensor which detects lateral collision impact that exceeds the specified limit of the vehicle. (Lateral collision "G" sensor adopts electronic sensor of which operating principles are the same as those of frontal collision "G" sensor in air bag diagnosis sensor unit.)
- In a lateral collision that exceeds the specified limit of the vehicle, front door satellite sensor detects impact. If lateral collision safing sensor in air bag diagnosis sensor unit judges that impact is due to a collision, side air bag and curtain air bag operate.

REAR SATELLITE SENSOR






- Rear satellite sensor (1) in installed to center pillar lower portion of front seat belt retractor rear side.

- Rear satellite sensor integrates lateral collision "G" sensor which detects lateral collision impact that exceeds the specified limit of the vehicle. (Lateral collision "G" sensor adopts electronic sensor of which operating principles are the same as those of frontal collision "G" sensor in air bag diagnosis sensor unit.)
- In a lateral collision that exceeds the specified limit of the vehicle, rear satellite sensor detects impact. If lateral collision safing sensor in air bag diagnosis sensor unit judges that impact is due to a collision, side air bag and curtain air bag operate.
