PRECAUTIONS
CRASH SENSOR INSPECTION - DISTRIBUTED
SRS SYSTEM ONLY
1. After any degree of front body damage, inspect
both front crash sensors. Replace a sensor if
there are any signs of dents, cracks or
deformation.
2. Ensure the sensors are installed correctly. An
arrow is moulded into the upper case of the
sensor indicating the front, the sensor must be
installed with the arrow pointing towards the front
of the vehicle. There must be no gap between
the sensor and body of the vehicle. Use the
fixing screws supplied with the sensor and
tighten to the correct torque. Tighten front sensor
fixing before rear sensor fixing.
CAUTION: Take extra care when painting
or carrying out bodywork repairs in the
vicinity of the sensors. Avoid direct
exposure of the sensors or harness to heat guns,
welding or spraying equipment.
