Crash Signal
In the event of a crash involving deployment of the restraint systems, the MRS4RD control unit sends a crash signal to the members of the bus network.
On receipt of that signal, the control units concerned perform the following functions according to the severity of the crash:
- Switch off electric fuel pump
- Switch off alternator
- Unlock central locking system
- Switch on hazard warning flashers
- Make emergency call (only if Professional phone option fitted)
