Abstract
A method and system for controlling airbag deployment in a vehicle. The method may include the steps of receiving an input that a driver of the vehicle is pregnant, and changing an airbag deployment setting to account for a space reduction between the driver and an interior panel portion of the vehicle. In one implementation, the interior panel portion of the vehicle is a steering wheel.
