Passenger seatbelt reminder sensor
The seatbelt reminder sensor determines front
passenger presence and enables the SDM to
control the passenger seatbelt warning indica-
tor and/or chime. The sensor monitors the
pressure profile of the front passenger seat and
sends it to the SDM.
The seatbelt reminder sensor is integrated in
the passenger seat cushion and cannot be
replaced separately. In case of a defective sen-
sor the complete cushion has to be replaced.

For side impact detection, side impact
sensors are mounted in the B-pillars of
the vehicle.
They provide crash signals to the SDM
which will calculate according to these
signals whether the side and curtain
airbags and the pretensioners have to
be deployed.
