DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Operation

SRS
In a collision the sudden deceleration or acceleration is measured by the side impact sensors and the crash sensors 
in the DCU. The DCU evaluates the readings to determine the impact point on the vehicle and whether the 
deceleration/acceleration readings exceed the limits for firing the airbags, the pretensioners and the battery 
disconnect unit. The DCU incorporates the following limits to cater for impacts of varying severity and at different 
points on the vehicle:

l

Pretensioner

l

Driver and passenger airbag 1

l

Driver and passenger airbag 2

l

Driver and passenger airbag 3

l

Driver and passenger airbag 4

l

Rear impact

l

Battery disconnect unit

l

LH side and head airbags

l

RH side and head airbags.

Firing Strategies
The seat belt pretensioners are fired when either the pretensioner or the rear impact limit is exceeded. In a frontal 
impact, the DCU only fires the pretensioners if the safing sensor has closed, and also evaluates the inputs from the 
seat belt switches (where fitted) and the seat occupancy module before it comes to a firing decision.

The driver and passenger airbags are fired in a frontal impact. The time delay between firing the two gas generators 
in each airbag decreases with the increasing severity of the impact, until, at the most severe impact limit (driver and 
passenger airbag 4), the gas generators are fired simultaneously. In a frontal impact, the DCU only fires the driver 
and passenger airbags if the safing sensor has closed, and also evaluates the inputs from the seat belt switches (NAS 
only) and the seat occupancy module before it comes to a firing decision.

If there is a fault with a seat belt switch input (NAS only), the DCU assumes the seat belt is fastened for the 
pretensioner firing strategy and unfastened for the airbag firing strategy. If there is a fault with the occupancy detection 
sensor, the DCU assumes the front passenger seat is occupied.
