Abstract

The motor vehicle has sensors to release an airbag and which can operate other vehicle functions outside airbag control, such as opening a window or a sun roof and-or operating the vehicle interior lights. The sensor can have an acceleration sensor, or a pre-crash sensor. The pre-crash sensor can have a microwave-radar and-or an optical sensor.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kraftfahrzeug mit Sensoren, die außer dem Auslösen des Airbags bei definierten Bedingungen weitere. Fahrzeugfunktionen auslösen.The invention relates to a motor vehicle with sensors that except for deploying the airbag under defined conditions Further. Trigger vehicle functions.

Ein solches Kraftfahrzeug ist aus der DE 31 16 867 A1 be­ kannt.Such a motor vehicle is from DE 31 16 867 A1 known.

Dort werden durch den Beschleunigungssensor nicht nur der Airbag ausgelöst sondern auch die Notschalter für die Warn­ blinkanlage, die Zentralverriegelung und die Kraftstoffpumpe betätigt, um im Falle eines Unfalls größtmögliche Sicherheit für die Fahrzeuginsassen zu erlangen.There the acceleration sensor not only Airbag triggered but also the emergency switch for the warning flashing system, central locking and the fuel pump operated to ensure maximum safety in the event of an accident for the vehicle occupants.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Kraftfahrzeug an­ zugeben, bei dem im Falle eines Unfalls mehr Komfort für die Fahrzeuginsassen bereitgestellt wird.The object of the invention is to provide a motor vehicle admit, in the event of an accident, more comfort for the Vehicle occupants is provided.

Die Aufgabe wird durch ein Kraftfahrzeug mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The task is performed by a motor vehicle with the features of claim 1 solved.

Gemäß Anspruch 1 wird bei einem Unfall gesteuert durch den Sensoren, insbesondere einen Beschleunigungssensor oder Pre- Crash-Sensoren, nicht nur der Airbag ausgelöst sondern es wird auch zumindest ein Fenster geöffnet, so dass die oftmals überriechenden Gase des ausgelösten Airbags entweichen kön­ nen. Falls das Fahrzeug ein Schiebedach hat kann alternativ oder zusätzlich dieses Schiebedach geöffnet werden. Alterna­ tiv oder zusätzlich kann auch die Innenraumbeleuchtung einge­ schaltete werden, um den Fahrzeuginsassen bei einem Unfall bei Nacht die Orientierung zu erleichtern. According to claim 1 is controlled by the accident Sensors, in particular an acceleration sensor or pre- Crash sensors, not only triggered the airbag but it at least one window is opened, so that often odorous gases of the deployed airbag can escape NEN. Alternatively, if the vehicle has a sunroof or additionally open this sunroof. Alterna Alternatively or in addition, the interior lighting can also be switched on be switched to the vehicle occupant in an accident to facilitate orientation at night.  

Als Pre-Crash-Sensoren können in bekannter Weise Mikrowellen- Radar oder optische Sensoren, vorzugsweise zur Erzeugung ei­ nes Stereobildes zum Einsatz kommen.As pre-crash sensors, microwave Radar or optical sensors, preferably for generating egg stereo image are used.
