The Air Bag Impact Sensor (Front) communicates fast, rough decelerations to your car's computer system. The Air Bag Impact Sensor (Front) is an integral component of your vehicle's collision safety system and could help offer protection to you and your passengers in front-end collisions. In most INFINITIs, the Air Bag Impact Sensor (Front) is located at the front of your car beneath your air duct intake or behind your front fender.
Your Air Bag Impact Sensor (Front), also known as the inertia sensor or front crash sensor, perceives frontal impact and communicates data to the air bag control unit, which is responsible for deploying your INFINITI’s airbags. In collisions, your air bags work (in conjunction with your seatbelt) to reduce instances of serious bodily harm by counteracting aggressive forward motion. Simply put, your air bag system works to reduce harm to the most important cargo cargo in your vehicle: you and your loved ones!
If you have an accident or collision (or if your Air Bag Impact Sensor (Front) is broken, cracked, or warped) swap out your Air Bag Impact Sensor (Front) immediately.

Therefore, it's often recommended you seek out your nearest authorized INFINITI service center to have your Air Bag Impact Sensor (Front) replacement conducted by certified professionals.
