Abstract

An electronic device, in particular a system for safeguarding vehicle occupants, comprises at least two acceleration-sensitive sensors arrangements. To test the readiness for operation of the sensor arrangements, output signals from the sensor arrangements are compared. Output signals, which occur as the result of accelerations arising during normal operation of the vehicle, are also drawn upon when the comparison is made.
