Abstract
A device is provided in a vehicle for monitoring the environment around the vehicle. The device includes a sensor system such that objects in a detection range of the sensor system are selected as a function of predetermined parameters so that only the selected objects are tracked by the sensor system. This permits adaptive use of reversible restraint means based on the sensor system output.
