Triggering Thresholds For the Remaining Safety Devices

Triggering Thresholds For The Remaining Safety Devices

Side Airbags and Head Protection
The triggering thresholds for the side and head protection airbags is dependent on the signals from the satellite sensors and the crash sensors in the MRS III control module. The triggering thresholds are independent of the thresholds for the belt tensioners.

Seat Belt Tensioners
The triggering of the seat belt tensioners is dependent on the signal from the seat belt contact and the severity of the impact as detected by the control module.

Battery Safety Terminal
The BST will deploy in a frontal impact at threshold 2 or greater. The threshold for BST activation with a side impact is programmed separately in the side deployment criteria. The BST will also be deployed if a rear impact threshold is exceeded.

Fuel Pump Shut-Off Request
The MRS III system is linked via the K-Bus/CAN Bus to the DME for deactivation of the fuel pump. The MRS III will signal the DME via the K-Bus through the instrument cluster and CAN Bus to shut off the fuel pump in the event that any crash threshold is exceeded.
