Abstract:
1. A front passenger safety arrangement for a front passenger in a seating position in which the front passenger's head is positioned at a height overlapping with a seat headrest, the front passenger safety arrangement comprising an airbag in an instrument panel facing an interior compartment of a motor vehicle, the airbag having an airbag envelope having an impact area with a central section and with lateral surfaces formed by a left section and a right section extending from the central section, the impact area being primarily allocated to an area of the front passenger's head and located substantially entirely above the instrument panel when the airbag envelope is fully expanded, the airbag having a concave shape when the airbag envelope is fully expanded and free of external forces, such that the left section and the right section respectively extend farther into the interior compartment of the motor vehicle than the central section, wherein the airbag primarily provides a restraining force for the passenger's head; a front passenger safety belt system with a pelvic belt portion and a shoulder belt portion, the shoulder belt portion primarily providing a restraining force against a forward-tilting movement of the upper torso part of the front passenger; and wherein the airbag provides a restraining force only for the passenger's head.
