Side impact protection system e.g. airbag, for vehicle, has actuator and spring units bringing deformation unit from retracted position into extended position found laterally at vehicle

摘要

The system (2) has a holding device (4) for holding a deformation unit (3). A control device actuates an actuator (5) and spring units during the occurrence of a critical impact situation of a vehicle. The actuator and the spring units bring the deformation unit from a retracted position into a extended position found laterally at the vehicle, where the deformation unit is arranged in the extended position laterally in front of a side region of the vehicle. The deformation unit is integrated in a vehicle door (1).
