Abstract
An airbag apparatus includes an airbag, which is configured to be supplied with gas to be deployed and inflated in front of one of a driver's seat and a front passenger seat. The airbag includes an airbag body and a pocket portion provided on a side of the airbag body. The airbag apparatus includes an outer tether, an inflator, and an actuator. The outer tether is located outside the airbag and is joined to the pocket portion. The inflator supplies gas to the airbag. When a movement of the vehicle in an oblique direction due to a collision is detected, the actuator pulls the outer tether to extract the pocket portion.
