Abstract
An airbag device includes: an airbag body that is configured to deploy toward a front side of a driver; and a control unit that is configured to deploy the airbag body using a first deployment method when a central axis of a rim portion of a steering member of a vehicle is in a first state and a deployment condition is satisfied and deploy the airbag body using a second deployment method in a second state when an inclination angle of the central axis in relation to the central axis in the first state exceeds a threshold and the deployment condition is satisfied.
Claims6
An airbag device comprising:
- an airbag body that is configured to deploy toward a front side of a driver;
- and
- a control unit that is configured to deploy the airbag body using a first deployment method when a central axis of a rim portion of a steering member of a vehicle is in a first state and a deployment condition is satisfied and deploy the airbag body using a second deployment method in a second state when an inclination angle of the central axis in relation to the central axis in the first state exceeds a threshold and the deployment condition is satisfied, wherein
- the airbag body includes a first airbag body and a second airbag body disposed inside the steering member,
- the second airbag body is formed to be deployed in a direction different from a deployment direction of the first airbag body in relation to the rim portion, and
- the control unit is configured to deploy the second airbag body when the inclination angle exceeds the threshold and the deployment condition is satisfied.
