A vehicle air bag system is provided with an air bag that inflates and unfolds to cover the entire front surface of a front pillar 3. When it is judged based on the detection operation of a collision detection device 10 that there is a risk of colliding with a pedestrian, a hood pop-up device 11 is actuated and the rear end part of the engine hood 1 moves up, widening the gap between the rear end part and the front windshield 2. Simultaneously, the air bag module 15 is actuated and the air bag 18 expands out from the gap. The air bag inflates and unfolds so as to cover the entire front surface of the front pillar 3 from the base to the upper end thereof.
