Zusammenfassung:An airbag configuration provides an airbag outlet opening in a front instrument panel wall region. A given safety distance is provided between the airbag outlet opening and a potential head impact region of a vehicle occupant. The potential head impact region is provided in a head-impact instrument panel wall region adjoining the front instrument panel wall region in a direction away from a windshield and towards the vehicle interior. The safety distance is provided in such a manner that the airbag, after advancing in the direction of the vehicle interior by a distance corresponding to the safety distance between the airbag outlet opening and the potential head impact region, has a filling pressure which is reduced in accordance with predetermined limit values in comparison with the initial filling pressure in the airbag at the beginning of the airbag activation.
