ABSTRACT:
A system to detect certain parameters concerning an auxiliary child seat placed on a passenger seat of a motor vehicle equipped with an airbag protection system. The system uses inductive electromagnetic emitter, inductive electromagnetic receiver, and resonant circuits to detect various parameters concerning the child seat. Some of the parameters include the presence of a child seat, the orientation of the child seat, and the type of child seat present. These parameters are transmitted to an airbag control unit for adapting the deployment of the airbag to the specific circumstances as indicated by the inductive and resonant circuits. The transmitted information allows the airbag control unit to disable the airbag in certain situations where it is not needed.
