Abstract
A system for tripping a restraint device includes a trip circuit disposed centrally in a vehicle and an ignition device disposed noncentrally. The ignition device communicates with the trip circuit over a data line. A protection device is disposed in the ignition device. The protection device is preferably constructed as a mechanical switch which is dependent on acceleration. The likelihood that interference variables will simultaneously affect both the trip circuit and the protection device is reduced because of the spatial separation of the protection device and the trip circuit.
