First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for triggering a reversible occupant protection function in a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining a value of a triggering parameter;
comparing the value of the triggering parameter with a predetermined threshold value; and
triggering the occupant protection function as a function of the comparing;
wherein the threshold value is influenced by a driving style parameter determined by analysis of at least one of a brake operating procedure, a gas pedal operating procedure and an operating element operable by the driver.

Abstract
A method for triggering a reversible occupant safety function in a motor vehicle, in which the value of a triggering parameter is determined, the value of the triggering parameter is compared with a predetermined threshold value, and the occupant protection function is triggered when the predetermined threshold value is exceeded by the value of the triggering parameter. An aspect of the method is that the threshold value is influenced by a driving style parameter determined by analysis of the brake and/or gas pedal operating procedures and/or by an operating element operable by the driver.
