ABSTRACT:
An impact protection device for an occupant of a motor vehicle comprises a prefabricated air bag module which is inserted into a recess of a dashboard and which essentially comprises a housing, a folded inflatable air bag and an inflating device. The air bag module is held in position by holders on a body-side transverse support, and the recess is closed on the side facing the occupant by a cover connected with the air bag module. To achieve a fast and low-cost mounting of the air bag module and of the cover in the vehicle and to be able to compensate mounting and manufacturing tolerances, the cover is swivellably connected with the air bag module and the air bag module, the cover and the holders form a prefabricated modular unit. The holders are pushed onto the transverse support and reach therearound in sections. Movable adjusting elements are arranged between the holders and the transverse support.
