Abstract
An airbag for a front passenger seat includes a passenger-side wall and a circumferential wall that extends forward from the passenger-side wall in a narrowing fashion. One each vent hole is formed on a left wall region and a right wall region of the circumferential wall for releasing an extra inflation gas. Each of the vent holes is formed into an elongate hole whose long axis extends generally along a direction that a passenger advances. A tether is disposed inside the airbag so as to be deployable generally along a left and right direction. The tether is disposed at such a position as to exert a tension force in a peripheral region of the vent hole in a direction generally orthogonal to the direction that the passenger advances when the passenger-side wall catches the passenger.
