    Abstract: A steering wheel unit, including a steering wheel body (10), an airbag housing (30) in the hub region of the steering wheel body with an airbag (38); First positioning units (40) between the steering wheel body (10) and the airbag housing (30) that position the airbag housing (30) on the steering wheel body (10) in the axial direction; Second positioning units between the steering wheel body (10) and the airbag housing (30) position the airbag housing (30) on the steering wheel body (40) in the radial plane. The second positioning unit includes at least one positioning element (52, 62) having a contact surface (56, 66a, 66b), normal or surface normals are perpendicular to the axial direction; and an opposing contact surface (58, 68a, 68b) for the contact surface (56, 66a, 66b). The positioning element (52, 62) includes at least one elastically deformable positioning section (54, 64a, 64b).

    Abstract: A side airbag (2), for mounting to a seat frame (7) having a support surface (7a) facing a vehicle door. An inflator (6) is stored inside the side airbag near a rear end in a deployment and inflation direction. The side airbag has a folded portion (X1) with a folding line (F1) and a superposed portion (S) sequentially from the side of the inflator to a front end thereof in the deployment and inflation direction. The folded portion has an abutment portion (Q) folded back to a vehicle rear side from a vehicle front side on a front side of the inflator in a vehicle front-back direction along the folding line and abutted against the support surface. The superposed portion is formed in a rolled and superposed state, and the folded portion is arranged between the support surface and the superposed portion in the vehicle-widthwise.

    Abstract: A steering wheel unit (10) for a motor vehicle having, a steering wheel body (12), an airbag module (20) accommodated in a hub region of the steering wheel body (12), which includes a housing (22), an inflator connected to the housing (22), and an airbag (29) folded into the housing (22), and at least three axial positioning units which define the axial position of the housing (22) when not pressed down with respect to the steering wheel body (12). Each of the three axial positioning units include an axial positioning element (40) connected on the module side to the housing (22), or an axial positioning element connected to the steering wheel body on the steering wheel body side, wherein the positioning element features a metal support unit (42). The at least three support units (42) are elements separate from each other.

    Abstract: A self-testing method of a frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar device. A transmission signal having an object detection signal and a self-test signal superimposed on the object detection signal is transmitted. The self-test signal represents at least one virtual target. A reception signal is received. The reception signal is a received version of the transmission signal. Presence of the at least one virtual target in the reception signal is determined. A lack of presence of the virtual target in the reception signal provides an indication of hardware failure of the FMCW radar device.

    Abstract: A force-limiting device (4) for a seat belt device which has at least two parts (5, 11, 15) controlled with a frequency-dependent, defined movement, wherein the parts (5, 11,15) moving relative to one another feature gearings (8, 10, 18, 19) engaging into each other and the frequency-dependent, controlled movement occurs such that at least one of the parts (5, 11, 15) executes a feed movement (V) with respect to the other part (5, 11,15) with an undulating motion (Q) perpendicular to the feed movement (V) in which the gearings (8, 10, 18, 19) alternatingly engage and disengage, by means of which a force limited belt extraction is facilitated. Wherein means are provided with which the required force for movement of the parts (5, 11, 15) toward one another can be automatically increased after a preset belt extraction length.

    Abstract: A method of packaging an air-bag includes providing an air-bag having a base. A first part of the air-bag is folded at least partly towards the base of the air-bag and additionally folded such that the first part of the air-bag incorporates at least one Z-fold. The first part of the air-bag and a second part of the air-bag are at least partly rolled towards the base of the air-bag to package the air-bag.
