ABSTRACT:
In a configuration for an airbag module behind the instrument panel of a motor vehicle, a charge channel for the airbag is mounted on the back side of the instrument panel, while the airbag module is held by an axle tube of the vehicle body. The charge channel loosely encompasses the airbag deployment opening of the airbag module. A catch on the charge channel acts in conjunction with a hook component fastened to the suspension tube in such a way that bending of the instrument panel in the direction of the passenger compartment is limited when the airbag is deployed. In this manner, an orderly unfolding of the airbag is ensured. Additionally, the separate configuration of the charge channel and the airbag module is not susceptible to component tolerances.
