ABSTRACT:
A seat-occupant restraining apparatus for a vehicle is provided that includes both an air bag and air bag inflator and an air belt and air belt inflator. An ignition controller controls the ignition of both the air bag and air belt inflators. An acceleration sensor is included. The ignition controller calculates the magnitude of the shock of collision, based on input from the acceleration sensor at the time of a collision of the vehicle by integrating the acceleration over a preset time, and the magnitude of the shock is compared with a first and second threshold, both of which are stored in advance. If the calculated shock is less than the first threshold, the ignition controller does not output an ignition signal to either the air bag or the air belt. For shocks between the two threshold values, the air belt assembly is operated. For shocks greater than the second threshold, both the air belt and the air bag are activated.
