Occupant protection device 2 for a vehicle, with at least one airbag module 3, which is arranged in a hub region 4 of a steering wheel 1, wherein the airbag module 3 comprises a visual surface 6 facing a vehicle driver, wherein the visual surface 6 is entirely or partially formed of a textile 7. The airbag module and/or hub may be fixed relative to the rotational movement of the steering wheel, and the textile may be attached directly to the airbag module or by means of an intermediate layer. The textile may comprise woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, fibres and/or yarns. The visual surface may be illuminated by a light source such as LEDs, luminous fibres, and/or luminescent elements. The light source may only illuminate specific points, and may be used for providing information. The light source may also be provided in a steering wheel / airbag module which does not have a textile surface. |
