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.
NOTICE: Any surfaces that could come into contact with side air curtain (Safety Canopy)
during deployment must not damage the curtain. Sharp edges, corners or protrusions could
damage the curtain and reduce the overall effectiveness of the side air curtain.
