Abstract

A safety system for a motor vehicle having a sensing arrangement (11) providing sensor signals related to the surrounding environment of the vehicle, at least one safety means (13, 14, 15) for an occupant of the vehicle, and a control means (22) adapted to control the safety means (13, 14, 15) depending on signals from the sensing arrangement (11). The safety system (10) has an environment classifying means (23) adapted to classify the surrounding environment of the vehicle into different predetermined categories on the basis of signals from the sensing arrangement (11), and to adjust the control means (22) depending on the vehicle environment category determined by the environment classifying means (23).
