摘要

The device has an airbag designed as a cushion. A steering column (4) is guided through a base region (1.1) of a passenger compartment (1). The airbag (7) is formed as a knee airbag that extends between a driver's seat (2) and the steering column in a released condition such that a driver is held back in the driver's seat during collision. The airbag forms a laminar airbag hose in the released condition. The laminar airbag hose extends from a left knee impact zone to a right knee impact zone in the released condition.
