15.1.2.4 Impact Sensors
The three impact sensor devices determine when air bag fir- ing is necessary by detecting crash conditions according to
direction of travel and force of movement. An impact of
sufficient force in a forward direction will close contacts in
either one or both of
the front impact sensors, left and right.
When either (or both) of the front sensors contacts are
closed then the impact force must be sufficient to close the
safing sensor contacts also, before air bag firing can com
- mence. The front impact sensors are mounted between
each headlamp mounting bracket and bonnet hinge mount- ing (Fig. 2, previous page), the safing sensor is mounted on
the right-hand side footwell at the base of the 'A' post (Fig.
1). Fig. 1
