Abstract: A motor vehicle and a method secure a passenger in the motor vehicle in a collision. The motor vehicle has a seat including a seat body, which forms a seat surface, and a backrest connected to the seat body. An inertial force acting on the passenger in a collision is transmitted by a seatbelt arrangement to the backrest in such a manner that the latter pivots forwards relative to the seat body counter to the restoring effect of an elastic and/or plastic deformation of at least part of the backrest. A force which counteracts the pivoting-forwards action is generated by a force generator, and transmitted to the backrest, and/or the maximum pivoting path of the backrest is limited by a limiting device in that, when a predetermined reference acceleration is present, a deviation between a present pivoting path of the backrest and a predetermined reference pivoting path is minimized.

Abstract: A knee air bag apparatus having a housing (10) disposed in or adjoining a lower region of an instrument panel (I) extending from front to rear having an outlet opening (16). An inflator and a knee air bag (30) are mounted in the housing (10) in the initial state, and in an expanded state deploys in front of the instrument panel (I). The air bag outer skin has a protective section (32) and a fill and support section (36). The protective section (32) when expanded state is positioned, in front of the instrument panel (I). To improve deployment behavior, the fill and support section (36) features a vehicle-front section (38) such that with the knee air bag (30) fully expanded, the front section extends beyond the vehicle front end of the housing (10) in the direction of the vehicle front (FIG. 1).
