摘要

The invention relates to a method for protecting and retaining a passenger (5) on a passenger seat (60) of a vehicle (1), in case of an accident, with the aid of at least one retention means (34) of a protection and retention device (30), to an evaluation/control unit (20) for a protection and retention device (10) for carrying out the method, to a protection and retention device (10) for protecting a passenger (5) using such an evaluation and control unit (20), as well as to a corresponding computer program and computer program product for carrying out the method. According to the invention, a positioning pulse is generated as a function of a detected current driving situation, which pulse accelerates the passenger (5) away from a vehicle side structure (3) in the direction towards the middle of the vehicle, if a predefined precrash situation is detected.
