The G-sensors (longitudinal) are sensors detecting the acceleration in the longitudinal directions of the vehicle, and are basically the same as those used conventionally. The G-sensor (lateral) is used for detecting the acceleration along the sides of the vehicle by changing the installing direction by 90°. The same sensor as the G-sensor (longitudinal) is used.
