70 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Acceleration Sensors Acceleration Sensors trigger airbag deployment based on dramatic acceleration change of the vehicle. Pressure Sensors Pressure Sensors trigger airbag deployment based on door cavity pressure changes. Rollover Sensors Rollover Sensors trigger airbag deployment in the event of vehicle rollover and aid the ORC in deploying Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) for rollover events. Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) - If Equipped The ORC deploys the SABIC during a collision with other vehicles and during collisions where the impact is confined to a particular area of the vehicle, such as, collisions with poles, trees or similar objects. In these events, the ORC will deploy the SABIC only on the impact side of the vehicle. NOTE: The ORC will also detect and protect for rollover when equipped with SABIC airbags. In a rollover the SABIC airbags will deploy on both sides of the vehicle. Enhanced Accident Response System In the event of an impact causing airbag deployment, the vehicle communication network intact, and the power intact, the Enhanced Accident Response System performs the following functions: • Cuts off fuel to the engine. • Flashes hazard lights as long as the battery has power or until the ignition key is turned off • Turns on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has power or until the ignition key is removed. • Unlocks the doors automatically.
