Description
Product Overview
The Autoliv Impact Sensor is a critical safety component designed to detect collision forces and trigger the activation of airbags and pyrotechnic seatbelts, helping to protect occupants during an accident. Originally manufactured for vehicles such as the Citroën C5 X7 and Peugeot 308, this sensor plays a vital role in the vehicle’s passive safety system.
This sensor measures extreme acceleration changes during crashes and communicates these signals directly to the airbag control unit, enabling an immediate response to deploy safety restraints precisely when needed. Given the importance of this function, the sensor must match your vehicle’s specifications exactly to ensure reliable operation.

Over time, sensors can fail due to wear, exposure to impact, or environmental factors, compromising your vehicle’s safety systems. Professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure the sensor functions correctly within the safety circuitry.
