3-2 Mounting
Section 3: Mounting
• Do not mount equipment to the high-voltage connector shield located under the RH rear seat
back and bottom.
NOTICE: The side impact sensor is tuned to excite based on its mass (including wiring), as
well as the host sheet metal. Any alteration to these components must be avoided.
Additions, such as padding, wire connectors, retainers, tape or fasteners of any kind should
not be used. All fasteners in this predominantly sheet metal environment should be made
of steel or a non-conductive plastic to guarantee retention and longevity. If any part of a
steel fastener is exposed to a wet area, it should be plated to resist corrosion.
Note: Vehicles not equipped with safety canopy module and side air bag module only.
• Do not mount equipment to the C-pillars within 15.25 cm (6 in) of the retractors and side impact
sensors.
• Do not mount equipment to the B-pillars within 30.5 cm (12 in) of the floor.
