Abstract
An airbag restraint system for protecting a vehicle passenger in the event of a vehicle serious collision from the lateral side direction of the vehicle. The system comprises an airbag which is disposed at each of doors and a center console located at a center portion between right and left seats. An acceleration sensor is disposed at each of lateral sides of the vehicle to detect side directional impact to the vehicle. When the vehicle is crashed at the one lateral side of the vehicle, the airbags at an impacted side and the center airbag are inflated. Similarly, when the vehicle is crashed at the the other lateral side of the vehicle, the impacted side airbags and the center airbag are inflated.
