Zusammenfassung:A safety device in a vehicle is provided. The safety device comprises a modular actuator (100) comprising a housing (1) having a first end (2), a piston (4) adapted to fit in the housing (1) and being configured to be moved from a retracted position to an extended position, and a gas generator (15). The piston (4) has a first end forming a pressure surface (6) facing the first end (2) of the housing (1). A gas chamber (8) is formed between the pressure surface (6) of the piston (4) and an inner wall of the first end (2) of the housing (1), and the gas generator (15) is situated in the gas chamber (8). The volume of the gas chamber (8) as seen in a condition when the piston (4) is in the retracted position may be selectively adapted by replacing a piston (4) having a first volume with a piston having a second volume, the second volume being different than the first volume; and/or arranging a spacer (25) in the gas chamber (4).
