Passenger restraint device of motor vehicle
First Claim
1. A passenger restraint device of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a plurality of predicting devices each being able to predict or detect a collision of the vehicle with an obstacle in front of the vehicle;
a sensitivity adjusting device that is able to adjust a sensitivity of at least one of the predicting devices;
reversible passenger restraining devices that are able to reversibly restrain a passenger in the vehicle;
non-reversible passenger restraining devices that are able to non-reversibly restrain the passenger in the vehicle; and
a control unit that, based on a signal from the one of the predicting devices that has been subjected to the sensitivity adjustment by the sensitivity adjusting device, controls operation of the reversible and non-reversible passenger restraining devices.

Abstract
A passenger restraint device of a motor vehicle comprises a plurality of predicting devices each being able to predict or detect a collision of the vehicle with an obstacle in front of the vehicle. A sensitivity adjusting device is able to adjust a sensitivity of at least one of the predicting devices. Reversible passenger restraining devices are able to reversibly restrain a passenger in the vehicle. Non-reversible passenger restraining devices are able to non-reversibly restrain the passenger in the vehicle. A control unit, based on a signal from the one of the predicting devices that has been subjected to the sensitivity adjustment by the sensitivity adjusting device, controls operation of the reversible and non-reversible passenger restraining devices.
