In an air bag system in which an air bag is placed under an upper surface of an instrument panel for restraining a passenger by igniting an inflator by a signal from an acceleration sensor when a vehicle is crashed and deploying the air bag with gas generated by the ignition of the inflator, a method for forming a pocket in a lower surface of the air bag when it is inflated.

An apparatus for detecting seated condition detects whether a passenger is seated on a seat and the location of the passenger if seated. In the apparatus for detecting seated condition, antenna electrodes are provided in the inside the seat so that the electric field generates between the ground and the antenna electrodes. A detecting unit detects a first out put of the electric field in a case that a passenger is not seated and a second output of the electric field in a case that a passenger is seated. A data processing unit corrects the second output based on the first output. Accordingly, the seated condition whether the passenger is seated can accurately be detected.

Apparatus for detecting seated condition

An occupant position detection system includes a distance sensor located on a seat back of a seat of a vehicle, an angle sensor for sensing an inclined angle of the seat back , and a sliding displacement sensor for sensing a sliding displacement value of the seat in fore and aft directions, wherein an occupant position is detected on the basis of sensed values of the distance sensor , the angle sensor and the sliding displacement sensor
