WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, never strike or drop the side impact sensor, as it can damage the impact sensor or affect its
calibration. The side impact sensor enables the system to deploy the side curtain supplemental restraints. If an impact sensor is accidentally
dropped during service, the sensor must be scrapped and replaced with a new unit. Failure to observe this warning could result in accidental,
incomplete, or improper front supplemental restraint deployment.
NOTE: A D-pillar side impact sensor is only present on vehicles equipped with an optional third row seat.
NOTE: The front and side impact sensors are interchangeable.
