Abstract
A vehicle includes a seat where an air cushion is disposed in a side region of a seat back. The air cushion has a first air chamber that is fillable with gas to form an armrest where the first air chamber has an air chamber portion which, in normal operation, is separated from the first air chamber, is not filled with a gas, and is fluidically coupled with a gas generator. The air cushion has a second air chamber which is fluidically coupled with the gas generator and which is fillable with a gas of the gas generator in an event of a vehicle collision. The air chamber portion and the second air chamber unfold between a first occupant located on the vehicle seat and a trim part of the vehicle and/or between the first occupant and a second occupant by being filled by the gas of the gas generator.
