Side Crash Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The side crash sensor monitors the severity of a lateral crash event. If the crash event is severe enough, the side crash sensor signals restraints control module to deploy the appropriate side air bag module.
