Abstract: An assembly for a vehicle includes a dash. The assembly includes a seat having a seatback and a head restraint extending upwardly from the seatback. The assembly includes an airbag supported by the seatback. The airbag is inflatable from the seatback toward the dash in a seat-rearward direction to an inflated position. The airbag includes an upper portion adjacent the head restraint and a pair of lobes extending from the upper portion along the head restraint in a seat-forward direction in the inflated position. The head restraint is between the lobes in the inflated position.

Abstract: A seat includes a seatback. The seat includes a seat bottom extending away from the seatback in a seat-forward direction to a front of the seat bottom distal to the seatback. The seat bottom has a top surface defining an occupant-leg area. The seat includes an airbag supported by the seat bottom at the front of the seat bottom and inflatable from an uninflated position to an inflated position. The airbag in the inflated position extends away from the seat bottom in the seat-forward direction and includes an uppermost surface positioned below the occupant-leg area of the seat bottom.

Abstract: A system includes a seat. The system includes an airbag supported by the seat. The airbag is inflatable to an inflated position. The airbag includes an inflation chamber and a panel adjacent to the inflation chamber defining a concave impact surface in the inflated position. The system includes a tether having a first end attached to a side of the airbag and a second end attached to the panel. The inflation chamber is beneath the concave impact surface in the inflated position.

Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for vehicle airbags for occupants in rear-facing seats. An example vehicle includes an instrument panel, a rear-facing seat adjacent the instrument panel and including a seatback and a headrest, and an airbag including a lower portion and an upper portion. When undeployed, the airbag is stored in the instrument panel. When the airbag deploys, the lower portion presses onto a back of the seatback and the upper portion presses onto a back of the headrest.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a seatback having a rear-mounted and rotationally operable tray table selectively operable between a plurality of rotational positions. An actuator is coupled to the seatback and the tray table, wherein in response to a decelerating impact, the actuator applies a generally downward force that biases the tray table toward a safety position against a back surface of the seatback.

Abstract: A vehicle system includes at least two sensors. A first sensor is configured to output a child restraint signal indicating a presence of a child restraint system. A second sensor is configured to output a belt tension signal representing a tension associated with a seat belt. A processing device is programmed to determine whether the child restraint system includes a child seat or a booster seat based on the child restraint signal and the belt tension signal.

Abstract: A vehicle includes at least one controller that may be configured to set a parameter for a vehicle zone based on data from an occupant detection sensor associated with the zone. The controller may be configured to respond to a signal from a nomadic device indicative of a profile of an occupant selected from a plurality of potential occupant profiles and an assignment of the occupant to the zone. The controller may be configured to override the parameter of the zone based on the signal. The vehicle may also include an airbag associated with a seat in the vehicle. The at least one controller may be configured to set the airbag to an enabled state based on the parameter, and override the enabled state in response to a signal from a nomadic device indicative of a child profile being assigned to the seat.

Abstract: A first pad and a second pad are configured to be arranged in a vehicle seat. A plurality of passive movement devices are provided to be respectively arranged behind, and to cause movement of, the pads. The passive movement devices are configured to be actuated independently of one another.
