PROCESS FOR OPERATING A SAFETY DEVICE FOR CAR OCCUPANTS

摘要

The invention concerns a process for operating a safety device for car occupants which comprises a storage device (12) electrical energy and a plurality of release means (14a, 14b, 14c) for restraining means such as an air bag, belt tensioner or similar, which can be connected to the storage device. The energy supplied to each release means during actuation is measured and when a predetermined energy limit value is reached the energy supply to the actuated release means is cut off. This economizes the limited energy reserves in the storage device if undesirable shunting occurs in a release means after the latter is actuated.
