Device for seat occupancy detection for a motor vehicle

摘要

A device for seat occupancy detection for a motor vehicle, especially for inhibiting airbag release when a seat is unoccupied, has a seat occupancy sensor 3 which has a front sensing region 3.1 and a rear sensing region 3.2, which can be evaluated separately. In this way, it is possible to indicate whether the front-seat passenger is in a sitting position close to the front seat edge of the seat cushion 1. As a further measure, the inhibiting of airbag release can be provided in the case of an incorrect sitting position.
