Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a dashboard protection arrangement, which is adapted to protect an accessory or a piece of equipment located at a central region of a dashboard of a vehicle from a deploying frontal protection airbag. The dashboard protection arrangement comprises a dashboard airbag adapted to deploy along a surface of the dashboard in order to at least partly cover the central region of the dashboard when deployed. The disclosure further relates to a vehicle comprising the dashboard protection arrangement and to a method of deploying a dashboard airbag of a dashboard protection arrangement.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a vehicle steering arrangement comprising a steering wheel and a torque transmitting steering column arrangement arranged to connect the steering wheel with front wheels of a vehicle. The steering arrangement comprises at least a first steering column part connected to the steering wheel and a second steering column part connected to the front wheels. The first and second steering column parts are connected to each other by a decoupling device adapted to decouple the first and second steering column parts from each other when an accident is detected so that the second steering column part can rotate in relation to the first column part. The disclosure also relates to a vehicle comprising such a steering arrangement.

Abstract: A passenger airbag system includes a control unit connected to a switch for switching a passenger airbag between an active and a non-active state. The system also includes a first radio frequency unit arranged in the vehicle and may include a second radio frequency unit arranged in a vehicle remote key, so that when the radio frequency units are brought in contact with each other one of the units is arranged for sending a signal to the control unit for changing a setting of the switch.

Abstract: An inflatable head restraint system comprises an inflatable airbag and a housing for storing the airbag in a packed condition, the housing located behind the back of a head and/or a nape of a user of the inflatable head restraint system. The airbag includes a portion at least partly enclosing the head when the airbag is in an inflated state, which restrains movement of the head in a direction away from the housing. The inflatable head restraint system may be included in a vehicle or a kit, and a method for activating inflation of the airbag of the inflatable head restraint system may be carried out via communication between the inflatable head restraint system and a collision detection system.

Abstract: An air bag deployment system includes a pre-impact sensor operative to detect an imminent impact and at least one post-impact sensor operative to detect an impact. An air bag has a non-deployed volume, a pre-impact deployed volume, and a post-impact deployed volume smaller than the pre-impact deployed volume. The air bag is deployed to the pre-impact volume wherein the air bag deployment system is arranged to deploy the air bag before the impact and the at least one air bag is deployed into the pre-impact deployed volume, in reaction to the imminent impact, and to the post-impact deployed volume in reaction to the impact. The system provides for enhanced occupant safety during a collision by allowing pre-impact deployment of the air bag in order to utilize the full possible length of deceleration for the occupant as the impact pulse affects the occupant.
