Satellite sensors ( 16, 18 ) that output level signals corresponding to an impact on a vehicle ( 10 ) are provided right and left portions of a forward portion of the vehicle ( 10 ), separately from a floor sensor ( 14 ). If a map (Lo 1 , Lo 2 , Lo 3 , Hi) selected as a threshold changing pattern from an impact (deceleration) detected based on the output signal of one of the satellite sensors ( 16, 18 ) and a map (Lo 1 , Lo 2 , Lo 3 , Hi) selected as a threshold changing pattern from an impact (deceleration) detected based on the output signal of the other satellite sensor are different from each other, the map of a smaller threshold is selected from the maps based on the output signals of the two satellite sensors ( 16, 18 ), and is set as a threshold changing pattern for determining whether to activate an airbag apparatus ( 30 ). |
