Abstract
A vehicle has an airbag arrangement, which has an airbag module mounted to or integrated with the vehicle door. The module has a housing in which at least one inflatable airbag stored in the module in a folded state. The housing has an elongated outlet opening that extends substantially the entire length of the inflated airbag, and a support section that supports and braces the airbag, in the inflated state, under pressure against the support section so that the airbag becomes self-supporting. The inner peripheral region of the outlet opening can form the support section. Alternatively, the inner peripheral region of an outlet opening formed in a door panel can form the support section. The self-supporting air bag is particularly applicable for a convertible or topless vehicle.
