A method for a vehicle, in particular a vehicle which is operated in an at least partially automated manner, for detecting an impact event. The method includes of:

Detection of an impact event

An apparatus for operating a gas generator for a safety device for a vehicle includes: a first terminal and a second terminal for furnishing a triggering voltage for triggering the safety device; a firing device configured to fire in response to a firing current, in order to open a closure element; an electrical coil configured to actuate, in response to a coil current, a closure device for controlling a gas flow through the outlet opening, the coil being connected in series with the firing device between the first terminal and the second terminal; and an electrical component having a voltage-dependent resistance and connected in parallel with the firing device.

Apparatus for operating a gas generator for a safety device for a vehicle

An activation device for a protection device includes: a body with a chamber that has, respectively at first and second ends, a medium inlet opening to a medium storage and a valve opening, and an outlet opening for discharging the medium into the protection device between the first and second ends; a valve for opening and closing the valve opening for passage of the medium; and a piston that (a) includes a passage along a main extension axis, from a first surface thereof adjacent to the medium inlet opening, to a second surface thereof, larger than the first surface and adjacent to the valve opening, and (b) is movable in the chamber by the medium and as a function of the control valve position between a position in which the at least one outlet opening is closed and a position in which the at least one outlet opening is opened.
