A method for controlling triggering of at least one passenger protection device for a vehicle. The method includes a step of determining whether a signal level of at least one read-in impact signal, which represents a change in a vehicle condition indicating a potential collision of the vehicle with a potential accident object, exceeds an evaluation limiting value. The method also includes a step of using a high triggering threshold value for triggering of the at least one passenger protection device when the signal level of the at least one read-in impact signal exceeds the evaluation limiting value.
