Abstract

A safety system for a gas-operated apparatus for generating energy, in particular in a vehicle, includes at least one sensor for measuring the gas concentration. The sensor is preferably disposed in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. In the event of a dangerously high gas concentration, a fan and/or power window control is triggered via a control unit in such a way that the fastest possible air exchange in the passenger compartment of the vehicle results.
