A method for triggering an occupant protection device in a vehicle including the steps: detecting a first measured variable and simultaneously generating a corresponding first signal for indicating a necessity for triggering at least one occupant protection device; detecting an acceleration value in the z direction and simultaneously generating a corresponding second signal; calculating a trigger signal for triggering at least one occupant protection device as a function of the first and second signals, and triggering the at least one occupant protection device as a function of the calculated trigger signal. An appropriate device is also described.

Method and device for controlling an occupant protection device in a vehicle

A device for triggering a restraining arrangement in a vehicle in which the vehicle velocity is taken into consideration in the triggering. In the system, the vehicle velocity is checked for plausibility by the signal from a remote sensor so as to avoid faulty triggering.
