ABSTRACT:
An air bag system housed within a cavity includes an inflator, an inflatable air bag, and an air bag housing defining a vent. A deployment door movable between a closed position and an open position at least partially covers the cavity. A vent restrictor is movable between a first position and a second position. In one of the first and second positions, the vent restrictor at least partially blocks the vent to restrict venting of inflation fluid therethrough. In the other of the positions, the vent restrictor leaves the vent substantially open. The vent restrictor is operatively connected to the deployment door or the air bag. When connected to the deployment door, movement of the deployment door from the closed position to the open position moves the vent restrictor. When connected to the air bag, inflation of the air bag moves the vent restrictor.
