Collision from side of vehicle

Because a sensor is built into the side air bag sensor, once the side air bag, the curtain air bag, pre-tensioner seat belt and lap pre-tensioner seat belt have operated (deployed) due to a collision or other causes, the side air bag sensor must be replaced with a new one even if the used one does not have any visible external damage or deformation. If the side air bag sensor is reused, the side air bag, the curtain air bag, pre-tensioner seat belt and lap pre-tensioner seat belt may not operate (deploy) normally, which could result in a serious accident. Always replace the side air bag sensor with a new one.
