15.1.2.4 Impact Sensors
The three impact sensor devices determine when air bag fir- ing is necessary by detecting crash conditions according to
direction of travel and force of movement. An impact of
sufficient force in a forward direction will close contacts in
either one or both of
the front impact sensors, left and right.
When either (or both) of the front sensors contacts are
closed then the impact force must be sufficient to close the
safing sensor contacts also, before air bag firing can com
- mence. The front impact sensors are mounted between
each headlamp mounting bracket and bonnet hinge mount- ing (Fig. 2, previous page), the safing sensor is mounted on
the right-hand side footwell at the base of the 'A' post (Fig.
1). Fig. 1

15.2 INSTRUMENTS
15.2.1 Introduction
The instrument pack is a self-contained, removable unit, which incorporates all the main display gauges and warning
indicators that are used to present vehicle condition information. The instrument pack is programmed during vehicle
build, to match the vehicle's individual requirements using 'Programmable Electronic Control Units System'
(PECUS). This is achieved via the diagnostic communication line, and therefore, should be renewed like-for-like. The primary
function of the instrument display is to provide the driver with information usual to normal driving requirements. The
secondary function is to display trip computer information.
The trip computer functions are selected via the steering column stalk switch
(LH). The messages are displayed in the
following order:
Odometer
- Distance - Range - Fuel Used -Average Fuel -Average Speed - Instant Fuel - Odometer (return).
Two trip computer switches, 'Reset' and 'Odo', are incorporated into the facia switch panel.
Instrument pack information is received from sensors positioned
at various locations about the vehicle (Fig. 1, follow-
ing page) via one of the two multi-pin sockets located at the rear of the instrument pack.
Information concerning vehicle condition and operation is displayed in one of three ways:
0 Information necessary to confirm normal vehicle operation: road speed, engine speed, oil pressure, battery
condition, fuel level, coolant temperature. This information is displayed using analogue gauges.
0 Information indicating the presence of a hazard/fault condition (low oil pressure/door open etc.) or operational
action (indicator flashing / headlamp full beam 'on' etc.). This information is provided by twenty two warning
lampsltell-tales, arranged in four groups; two groups of seven at the left and right sides of the instrument pack
and two groups of four
at the bottom of the instrument pack.
0 A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is located at the bottom-centre of the instrument pack and is normally used to
display the odometer reading, but it can also be used to display SRS fault conditions and trip computer informa-
tion such as vehicle speed, fuel usage and distance travelled.

15.3.2.3 Vacuum Pump /Control Valve Unit
The vacuum pump / control valve unit is located under the hood, behind the LH headlamp. When adjustment of the
throttle position is required, the pump and valve are 'pulsed' on/off by the SC CM to achieve the required vacuum and
hence vehicle speed.
15.3.2.4 Pressure Release Valve
The pressure release (or dump) valve is located adjacent to the vacuum pump /control valve module and opens, vent- ing system air pressure to atmosphere, when speed control is disabled.
