Claim 12:
13. A motor vehicle comprising:
a vehicle body defining a vehicle interior;
a vehicle seat positioned in the vehicle interior; and
a sensor suite having at least one of an in-seat sensor connected to the vehicle seat, a remote sensor connected to a structure within the vehicle interior, and a biometric sensor located in the vehicle interior;
a passenger restraint system positioned in the vehicle interior; and
a controller operable for controlling an actual capacity setting of the passenger restraint system, wherein execution of instructions by a processor of the controller causes the processor to:
detect vulnerability characteristics of a passenger of the motor vehicle using the sensor suite;
generate one or more biometric vulnerability classifier signals indicative of the vulnerability characteristics; and
in response to the one or more biometric vulnerability classifier signals and a detected vehicle event requiring an actuation of the passenger restraint system, automatically adjust an actual capacity setting of at least a portion of the passenger restraint system.
