Description

The Side Impact Sensor (SIS) system consists of two P-SIS sensors, installed in each front door module center (left and right), and two A-SIS sensors, installed on each rear pillar near the side (left and right). The pressure-type side impact sensor is also called P-SIS, because it detects the pressure caused by a collision at its installation location. The acceleration-type side impact sensor is also called A-SIS, because it detects acceleration. The SRSCM determines airbag deployment and deployment timing through the SIS collision signal when a collision occurs.
