Detection of rear-end collision
Rear-end collisions are detected by way of a
sensor in the airbag control unit J234 and a
plausibility function involving the driver's and
front passenger's front airbag crash sensors
G283 and G284.
These take the form of two additional front-
end acceleration sensors on the right and left
beneath the corresponding headlight.
