Lateral Acceleration Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The lateral acceleration sensor detects crisscross direction acceleration against the fixed electrode and movable electrode. The sensor is a static electricity capacity type, and the sensor detects static electricity between the fixed electrode and the movable electrode which is changed by lateral acceleration. See Fig 1 .
