A motor vehicle with at least one first seat () and at least one second seat () is described. The second seat () is located rear of the first seat () and the first seat has one position of operation in which it faces the second seat (). An air-bag module with an inflatable airbag device () being positioned between the first seat () and the second seat () when in its fully deployed state is provided. Said inflatable airbag device () has a first impact surface () pointing towards the first seat (), a second impact surface () pointing towards the sec- and seat (), a main support surface () adjacent to or abutting a structural element of the vehicle, and a connecting surface () remote from the support surface () and extending between the impact surfaces (). Especially in order to improve the deployment behaviour, the connecting surface () is at least partially concave, such that a recess (R) is formed.

Motor vehicle and airbag module

A method and a device for a motor vehicle of adapting safety mechanisms of a vehicle safety system. The method includes acquiring (s) data to create a representation () of a current vehicle surrounding (), comparing (s) the created representation to pre-stored representations of vehicle surroundings, with a risk assessment measure (R) associated with it which stipulates whether to trigger the safety mechanism of the vehicle safety system. If there is correspondence between the created representation and one of the pre-stored representations; detecting (s) a vehicle behavior associated with the current surrounding, and determining (s), whether to adjust triggering of the safety mechanism associated with the at least one risk assessment measure of the pre-stored representation of the current vehicle surrounding for which there is a match with the created representation.
