Continental Offers Two New Airbag Crash Sensors as Part of Growing Collision Portfolio

• Coverage includes Audi, Chevy, Chrysler, GMC, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, and VW models
• Seamlessly integrates with existing airbag control unit
• Sensors’ air bag applications include side-impact and all around collision detection

Las Vegas, NV., November 4, 2024 – Continental has introduced two new airbag crash sensors as a part of their growing collision parts portfolio aimed at offering shops aftermarket solutions to key safety technologies. The OE sensors offer coverage for popular Audi, Chevy, Chrysler, GMC, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, and VW models.

“These airbag crash sensors have been introduced to give shops and technicians more opportunities to provide service to their customers, as the safety technology in vehicles continues to evolve,” notes Nathan Killeen, Product Manager, Continental. “These are the sensors that trigger lifesaving restraint systems in just milliseconds.”

Continental offers two types of air bag sensors: Acceleration Satellite gSAT and Standard Pressure Satellite pSAT. The gSAT delivers all-around vehicle protection, measuring and supplying acceleration values in rigid vehicle structures to the airbag control unit. The pSAT sensor is specially designed to respond to side impact crashes, rapidly detecting the change in pressure within the doors of the vehicle, and sending alerts to the airbag control unit. The airbag crash sensors will be available in Q2 of 2025.
