Abstract
A child seat is an International Standard-compliant CRS. The CRS has right and left-side fastening attachments that are spaced from each other by a predetermined interval in a direction of a width of the CRS. CRS switch mechanisms are disposed at sites in a seat cushion at which anchor bars are disposed. At least one of the CRS mechanisms has a key cylinder. By turning the key cylinder through the use of an ignition key, a CRS detection switch can be switched between an ON state and an OFF state.
Claims16
A system for controlling an activation of a passenger-side airbag apparatus, comprising:
- an anchor device disposed in a passenger seat for attaching a child restraint seat to the passenger seat, said anchor device further comprising a child restraint seat switch mechanism that automatically interrupts an activation allowed state of a passenger-side airbag apparatus activating circuit upon attachment of the child restraint seat to the anchor device and automatically recovers said activation allowed state of the activating circuit upon detachment of the child restraint seat from the anchor device;
- and
- manual switch operation means disposed in said anchor device for allowing the child restraint seat switch mechanism to be manually switched between an on state and an off state, said on state corresponding to said activation allowed state and said off state corresponding to an activation prevented state that prevents said activation allowed state.
