ABSTRACT:
A safety apparatus for an automobile includes a control unit, which is connected to an ignition system of an automobile, a seat belt sensor, which is connected to the control unit, and a seat occupancy detector, which is connected to the seat belt sensor. In the event that it senses an occupant in an automobile seat, the seat occupancy sensor transmits a signal to the seat belt sensor. In the event that it senses that the seat belt of the seat is fastened, the seat belt sensor transmits an activation signal to the control unit, which enables operation of the ignition system. In the event that it senses that the seat belt of the seat is not fastened, the seat belt sensor transmits an inactivation signal to the control unit, which does not enable operation of the ignition system.
