The invention relates to a method for actuating a reversible vehicle occupant protection means in a motor vehicle having a driving state sensor system and a reversible vehicle occupant protection means. The reversible vehicle occupant protection means can be triggered before the collision time and as a result moved into an effective position. For this purpose, the driving state data are monitored with respect to a state of emergency braking, and when the state of emergency braking is detected the vehicle occupant protection system is actuated. In addition, a state of oversteering and a state of understeering are determined by the data processing device. The reversible vehicle occupant protection system is actuated when the data processing device detects the state of emergency braking and/or the state of oversteering and/or the state of understeering.
A method for actuating a reversible protection system in a motor vehicle having a sensor system which senses the driving state data, and a reversible protection system which can be triggered before the collision time and as a result moved into an effective position, the driving state data being monitored at least with respect to a state of emergency braking, and when the state of emergency braking is detected the protection system is triggered, characterized in that the signal of a brake light switch is additionally used to check the plausibility of the emergency braking operation.
A method for actuating a reversible vehicle occupant protection means in a motor vehicle having a sensor system which senses the driving state data, and a reversible vehicle occupant protection means which can be triggered before the collision time and as a result moved into an effective position, the driving state data being monitored with respect to states which are critical for driving dynamics, and when the state which is critical for driving dynamics is detected the vehicle occupant protection system is triggered, wherein the driving state data is monitored with respect to a state of understeering, and the vehicle occupant protection system is triggered when the state of understeering is detected.
