A motor vehicle safety device for protecting pedestrians and cyclists includes at least one airbag that is connected to a gas generator arranged under the engine hood. The airbag is deployable to protect a pedestrian or a cyclist who strikes the vehicle. To prevent the lateral displacement of the segments of the deployed airbag in front of the A-pillars of the vehicle, the airbag, which is deployed from below the engine hood, includes a section or a chamber near the hood's hinges. As a result, the airbag is deployable above the hood along the entire width of the vehicle in front of the lower area of the windshield and the A-pillars. The airbag lateral ends of the airbag extend over the A-pillars in such a way that they are upwardly oriented and additionally fixed after deployment.
