Sensor installation at an improper location can promote
aging, corrosion, movement and thereby impair the
effectiveness of the system in an accident. The sensor
must be installed on a rigid structure which does not move
and is in a protected location where it is not exposed to
extreme humidity, heat or dust and cannot be
unintentionally moved out of alignment.
* Do not install the sensor in the engine compartment
(Dust, Water, Salt).
* Do not install the sensor in the footwell (dust and
moisture from shoes).
To install the sensor, you have to drill holes for the
attachment bolts! Be very careful, make sure that you
do not damage the body, the fuel tank, fuel lines,
brake lines or other important components! Apply
the same care when tightening the attachment bolts.
To prevent injury, bolts must never protrude into
passenger compartment.

When the sensor is properly installed in a vertical position, it
will function with the same level of sensitivity locking the
retractor when acted upon by sufficient deceleration from any
direction.
Make sure to have enough space underneath the sensor for
the electrical connections.
minimum 1“ !
Short circuits can cause severe damage to your car and its
electrical system. To avoid short circuits, connect the wires
only after installation of all parts of the belt.
Follow on the instructions of paragraph 7.
This figure indicates the most suitable positions for the sensor.
The figure shows a car body with interior panels removed.
Only install the sensor directly to a rigid vertical structure of the
car body that does not move.
The mounting holes must be in a straight vertical line and

(20 mm) apart. Drill the upper hole first to locate the sensor in
the desired position. Place the bubble level supplied on the top
surface of the sensor to check the front/rear and side-to-side
position. Mark the position for the second hole, drill and
remount the sensor. Recheck the position to make sure the
sensor is leveled.

You can use sensor housing as a stencil.
Installation with the perforated metal strip
The perforated metal strip can be carefully bent and formed as
necessary for vertical installation of the sensor. Make sure that
both ends of the strap are fixed by screws for permanent and
rigid installation of the sensor on a non-moving structure.
