1. A vehicle air bag control system comprising:
- an impact detector for detecting an impact on a vehicle and for outputting an impact detection signal;
an air bag deployment determination means for outputting a deployment command when the impact detection signal is more than a predetermined value;
a state estimation means for estimating whether a vehicle engine is stopped during an idling stop; and
a power control means for driving the impact detector, the air bag deployment determination means and the state estimation means when the vehicle engine is stopped during the idling stop as indicated by the state estimation means.
