Abstract: A safety arrangement for a motor vehicle includes an airbag and a crash sensor system. The airbag is normally folded together in a non-activated basic state and is able to be inflated with different volumes. The crash sensor system detects a vehicle impact and emits an activation signal. The crash sensor system includes both a pre-crash sensor system and also an in-crash sensor system, and emits a pre-crash activation signal as activation signal upon detection of an impending collision. The in-crash sensor system detects an actual impact and emits an in-crash activation signal (backup) if the pre-crash sensor system has previously not detected the impending collision and has not emitted a pre-crash activation signal. The airbag may be inflated to a larger airbag volume and to a relatively smaller airbag volume in an in-crash mode.

Abstract: The invention relates to a safety arrangement for a vehicle, in particular for a motor vehicle with an airbag (2), folded together in the non-activated basic state, which on a triggering of the safety arrangement (1) by an activation signal is able to be inflated with different volumes in the direction of the interior of the vehicle by means of a gas generator (3), and with a crash sensor system which detects a vehicle impact and emits the activation signal for this. According to the invention, the crash sensor system comprises both a pre-crash sensor system and also an in-crash sensor system, wherein the pre-crash sensor system generally already detects an impending collision before an actual impact, and for this circumstance emits a pre-crash activation signal as activation signal.
