Abstract
A vehicle occupant restraint system includes an airbag module () that is disposed in a roof area () of a vehicle and is assigned to a front seat (). The airbag module () comprises an airbag () that is disposed so that it deploys in the vehicle longitudinal direction (L) in front of a vehicle occupant () seated in the front seat (), wherein a baffle () of the airbag () in the filled state is aligned transversely to the vehicle longitudinal direction (L) and faces the vehicle occupant (). In a situation of restraint, it can be decided whether the airbag () is filled depending on whether the vehicle occupant () is touching a steering wheel () of the vehicle, wherein a steering wheel airbag is exclusively filled when a contact with the steering wheel () is detected.
