Crash
In the event of a collision, the Supple-
mental Restraint System (SRS)
module sends a signal to the Vehicle
Integration Units (VIUs), stating that
a collision has occurred and the
vehicle enters Crash mode.
In Crash mode, the following safety features among
others, are activated automatically:
• The high voltage battery is disconnected
• The passenger protection system, such as belt
pretensioners and airbags are activated.
• Doors are unlocked
• The parking brake is activated
• Hazard warning lights are activated
In severe crashes, the hazard warning lights and
other safety functions are powered by the high
voltage battery through the High to Low Voltage
Converter Module (HLCM) which is located under
the right rear seat inside the high voltage battery.
The converter is turned off automatically 12 hours
after the SRS signal has been sent.
