Abstract
The invention relates to a restraining system for occupants of a motor vehicle. The occupant is safeguarded by a safety belt and an airbag. So that the inflation pressure of the airbag can be controlled according to whether the occupant is strapped in or not, the gas generator of the airbag possesses a heater which switches on when the belt is not fastened and which is intended for increasing the inflation pressure which can be generated.
