ABSTRACT:
A method for actuating a reversible vehicle occupant protection device in a motor vehicle having a driving state sensor system and a reversible vehicle occupant protection device. The reversible vehicle occupant protection device can be triggered before the collision time and as a result moved into an effective position. For this purpose, the driving state data are monitored with respect to a state of emergency braking, and when the state of emergency braking is detected the vehicle occupant protection system is actuated. In addition, a state of oversteering and a state of understeering are determined by the data processing device. The reversible vehicle occupant protection system is actuated when the data processing device detects the state of emergency braking and/or the state of oversteering and/or the state of understeering.
