Mechanism for securing passenger side air bag door

An apparatus comprising:

• an inflatable vehicle occupant protection device having a deflated condition in a vehicle and having an inflated condition for helping to protect an occupant of the vehicle;
• a first actuator for causing inflation of said protection device;
• a door connected with the vehicle, said door being movable by said inflatable device when inflated between a closed condition covering said inflatable device when in the deflated condition and an open condition;
• and
• a member supported on the vehicle for movement between a stored position and an actuated position for helping to protect a vehicle occupant, said member when in the stored position blocking movement of said door;
• a second actuator energizable independently of said first actuator for causing movement of said member out of the stored position;
• said door being movable from the closed condition to the open condition upon the application of a first amount of force when said member is in the stored position;
• said door being movable from the closed condition to the open condition upon the application of a second amount of force less than said first amount of force when said member is spaced from said stored position.
