Abstract
In a control apparatus that activates a preloader device and after a timing delay an air bag device when a vehicle collision is detected, the apparatus has a detector for detecting whether or not a seatbelt is buckled, and a timing signal for activating the air bag device is generated without the timing delay if the seatbelt is not buckled, whereby the air bag device can be activated with a timing appropriate to the condition present at the time.
