The invention relates to a passenger protection system which is provided with a safing switch (). If only one ignition stage () of a passenger protection airbag which can be ignited in two stages is ignited by a control device (), the safing switch being closed, a circuit module () output () that is parallel to the safing switch is switched to a signal mode corresponding to the closed safing switch.
