A passenger airbag actuation system (1, 17) comprising a crash detection system (3, 19) which operates to produce a crash alert signal if a crash condition occurs, an occupancy sensor system (5, 21) operable only upon generation of a crash alert signal by the crash detection system (3, 19) to sense the occupancy state of the airbag deployment zone (7, 23) and for producing an occupancy state signal indicative of the occupancy state of the airbag deployment zone (7, 23) and an actuator system (9, 25) for actuating the airbag (11, 27) dependent upon the occupancy state of the airbag deployment area zone (7, 23). |
