Abstract
An airbag system includes an airbag arrangement being expanded at a side of a vehicle compartment by igniting an inflator based on a signal from a collision-detecting sensor arrangement in the event of a collision of the vehicle, wherein the airbag arrangement includes a front seat-protecting airbag and a rear seat-protecting airbag, the collision-detecting sensor arrangement includes at least a front seat-detecting sensor for detecting a side impact occurring near a front seat and a rear seat-detecting sensor for detecting a side impact occurring near a rear seat, and the front seat-protecting airbag is expanded when the front seat-detecting sensor detects a side impact, the rear seat-protecting airbag is expanded when the rear seat-detecting sensor detects a side impact.
