摘要

An electronic control circuit for a vehicle safety device includes an electrical activator responsive to a flow of current therethrough to activate the safety device. The electrical activator is present in a series connection including the activator and two switches. The series connection forms at least part of an electric circuit. The control circuit further includes a crash sensor producing an output signal when an accident is detected. A crash risk sensor produces an output signal when a certain crash risk is detected. One of the switches is closed in response to at least the output signal from the crash sensor. The other switch is closed in response to the output signals coming from both the crash sensor and from the crash risk sensor.
