SENSOR FOR A VEHICLE SAFETY DEVICE

The invention relates to a sensor (), in particular for triggering a vehicle safety device (), having a movable inertia body () which is movable relative to a carrier element () of the sensor (), wherein the inertia body () is moved by inertia in relation to the carrier element () in the event of an abrupt change in speed or an inclination of the sensor () beyond a predetermined extent, and is brought from its inoperative position into its triggering position, through which a triggering position of the sensor () is brought about. According to the invention, it is provided that the sensor () is provided with a deactivation device () which is suitable, in its deactivating state, to force the inoperative position of the inertia body ().
