Abstract

A method for activating personal protection means using at least one signal derived from an acceleration sensor. A forward displacement is determined from the signal, and the forward displacement is compared to at least one threshold value surface, which is set as a function of a velocity decrease and a deceleration. The personal protection means is activated as a function of the comparison.
