Purpose
The crash zone sensor detects an impact during a frontal or frontal offset collision to the vehicle.
Function
The crash zone sensor converts the detected impact to an electrical signal.
Construction
The crash zone sensor is built into the clutch sensor.
The crash zone sensor is installed to the shroud panel of the front bumper backside.
Two crash zone sensors are installed for independent impact detection on the left and right.

Operation
The impact from a frontal or frontal offset collision to the vehicle is transmitted to the crash zone sensor.
The crash sensor built into the crash zone sensor detects the impact and converts the impact into an electrical signal at the signal processing circuit.
The crash zone sensor sends a signal indicating the degree of impact, which is converted to an electrical signal, to the SAS control module.

Fail-safe
Function not equipped.
