Abstract
A passenger protection apparatus has plural kinds of passenger protectors, e.g., air bags and seat belt retractors, which are actuated when a scale of collision of a vehicle is above an actuation level. It has a memory for memorizing actuation levels which are set in advance for each kind of the passenger protectors. The apparatus has a corrector for correcting the actuation level, which is kept in the memory, of non-actuated kind of passenger protector to a lower level when at least one kind, out of the plural kinds, of passenger protectors is actuated. In case the passenger protection apparatus is made up of a gas-actuated air bag which is actuated by a plularity of gas generators, it has also a memory for memorizing actuation levels which are set in advance for each of the gas generators. An actuation level corrector corrects the actuation level, which is kept in the memory, of a non-actuated gas generator to a lower level when at least one of the plurality of gas generators is actuated.
