Abstract
A gas bag module comprises a module housing () and a covering cap (), a side wall () being provided on at least one of the module housing () and the covering cap (). An outer wall () of the covering cap defines a front side of the module and an outer wall () of the module housing () defines a rear side of the module, whereby an outlet direction (R) is given that runs from the rear side to the front side of the module. The module housing () has first fastening elements () and the covering cap () has second fastening elements () which can be brought into engagement with the first fastening elements. The first and second fastening elements () are arranged and aligned with respect to the side wall () such that the engagement of the first and second fastening elements (), which prevents an uncoupling of the covering cap () and of the module housing () in a gas bag outlet direction (R), comes about through a movement of the fastening elements () relative to each other in a direction (E) that runs along the side wall () and transversely to the outlet direction (R).
