A vehicle seat for an automobile has a shell with a transverse slot and at least one energy absorbing support located in the slot, in the front part of the seat. The support is horizontally deformable by the pelvis of the occupant when the latter is displaced forward as a result of a sharp deceleration of the vehicle. The portion of the shell behind the support is deformable downwardly at least partially by the pelvis of the occupant when he or she is displaced forward as a result of a sharp deceleration of the vehicle. The height of the support remains substantially unchanged as a result.

The invention relates to a steering wheel having a nave, spokes, a rim and an air bag module. According to the invention, a rotationally arranged component (,) is secured to the steering wheel nave (,) or to the steering column allocated thereto, which is designed to accommodate at least one further subassembly. The center of gravity of said component (,) and/or the other subassembly is positioned so eccentrically that the rotationally arranged component (,) remains in the same position when the steering wheel is rotated as when it is straightened. The advantage of the inventive steering wheel is that the subassembly connected to the rotationally arranged component, e.g. an air bag, does not change its position either when the steering wheel is rotated.
