See full text

A passenger airbag and a passenger airbag device in which when the passenger airbag starts to inflate with an interfering object close to the IP, gas in the airbag is caused to quickly flow out through vent holes to reduce the impact on the interfering object, and a vehicle equipped with this passenger airbag device. In case of front collision of the vehicle, an inflator is activated to generate gas, and the gas flows through a diffuser into an airbag main body. The diffuser inflates, and the diffuser and the airbag main body thereby start to deploy above the IP. In this early stage of deployment, the diffuser is quickly almost fully inflated, and gas discharge openings are located above the IP. The diffuser is provided with a depression, and the depression faces the interfering object M.
