A method, control unit and computer program product is disclosed for executing an evasive maneuver of a motor vehicle. If an obstacle is detected in the vehicle's path, the evasive maneuver is initiated and a nominal trajectory is calculated. Control devices of the motor vehicle are actuated in such a way that the motor vehicle drives along the nominal trajectory under normal road conditions. The evasive maneuver is executed as calculated if the motor vehicle moves along the nominal trajectory. An alternative trajectory, which is actually possible with respect to the driving dynamics under the given road conditions, is calculated based on the reaction of the motor vehicle to the actuation of its control devices if the motor vehicle does not move along the nominal trajectory. The evasive maneuver is executed along the alternative trajectory.

A method for calibrating an adaptive chassis system of a motor vehicle within the production process of the vehicle is provided. The vehicle has a sensor for determining the compression or rebound state of an element of the chassis system. Sensor signals of the sensor are supplied to a control unit in which a generic sensor characteristic is stored. The method includes, after the installation of the element and the sensor, detecting the sensor signals as a function of the compression and rebound state of the element during the production process and supplying the sensor signals as raw data to the control unit. A dependence of the values of the sensor signals of the sensor on a measurement value defining the compression and rebound state of the element is determined from the raw data and from the generic sensor characteristic by an algorithm deposited in the control unit.

A method is provided for fastening an airbag to a motor vehicle, that includes, but is not limited to the steps of fastening an airbag, which can be filled with a gas and which has a fastening tab, to a fastening device which comprises a plate and a clip device fastened to the plate and the plate comprises a first plate section with a first opening having a screw thread and a second plate section, and the clip device is fastened on the first plate section, and the airbag is fastened to the fastening device by bending the second plate section in such a manner that the first plate section and the second plate section at least partially enclose the fastening tab on both sides. A fastening device is also provided for an airbag, an airbag, and a motor vehicle.
