摘要

The vehicle (1) i.e. motor car (1') has an inner area (2) for passengers (4), a vehicle door (8) and a seat (3) attached to the vehicle door. The vehicle door has an armrest (10) extending along a vehicle longitudinal direction (9) in a closed condition. The armrest has a base carrier that is pivotable around a vertical axis over a hinge device, where the base carrier enables switching of the armrest in a vehicle transverse direction (11) under force action during unfolding of a side bag (6). The base carrier is made from foam, and the armrest has a supporting carrier.
