An airbag system, onto which an airbag can be mounted for restraining an occupant during a side collision of a vehicle, can be used as an armrest. The airbag system has a container (12) having an airbag module inside and a supporting bar (16) for supporting the container (12), wherein a first end of the supporting bar (16) is pivotally connected to a rear of a seat portion (14) and a second end of the supporting bar (16) is connected to the container (12). When an impact force is applied to a side of a vehicle, because the supporting bar (16) and the container (12) are transferred from a first position to a second position by first and second step motors, the supporting bar (16) can absorb the impact force transmitted through a door of the vehicle. The airbag module contained in the container (12) is operated and the inflater deploys the airbag, thus the occupant is protected. |
