A vehicle occupant protection system may comprise a vehicle seat adjustment control system. The control system may be configured to receive from a vehicle sensor a signal associated with an occupant sitting on a vehicle seat. Based upon the received signal, the control system may be configured to determine a feature associated with a body of the occupant sitting on the vehicle seat is located outside a zone of safe impact with an airbag in a deployed state, and cause a vehicle seat adjustment mechanism to adjust a position of the vehicle seat so that the feature associated with the body of the occupant sitting on the vehicle seat is located within the zone of safe impact with the airbag in the deployed state.
