An air-bag arrangement for a motor vehicle is disclosed to provide protection for the occupants ( 1, 2 ) of two adjacent seats ( 11, 12 ). Each seat is associated with two air-bag units ( 15, 16, 20, 21 ), one of which contains an air-bag to be deployed so as to occupy a space on the inboard side of the seat, and the other of which contains an air-bag to be deployed so as to occupy a space on the outboard side of the seat. There is a sensor and control arrangement ( 23 ) to sense impact and to determine which side of the vehicle has been impacted. The sensor and control arrangement (23) generates actuation signals capable of actuating the air-bag unit ( 15 ) associated with the first seat ( 11 ) closest to the point of impact I, and the air-bag unit ( 21 ) of the second seat ( 12 ) closest to the point of impact I.
