ABSTRACT:
An air bag system includes an ECU, a plurality of module cases accommodating a plurality of gas generators and a plurality of air bags, and a bus line having a plurality of loop wires passing through the ECU to supply and transmit currents. The gas generators are connected operationally by a plurality of conductors branched from the bus line. An igniter is connected to the bus line and a capacitor and an IC are provided for each igniter. A current for igniting a priming is supplied to the igniter through the capacitor in the igniter, and a time period for supplying the current is from the point where a current value reaches a value corresponding to 5% of the maximum current value to the point where it is reduced to a value corresponding to 5% of the maximum current value, which is within 500 μsec.
