Abstract
A vehicle occupant restraint system comprises a passenger airbag (10) which includes first and second inflatable chambers (24, 26), wherein the second chamber (26) is provided to cushion the head (28) of a vehicle occupant (14) associated with the passenger airbag (10). In a state of the passenger airbag (10) fully filled and arranged in a vehicle, the first chamber (24) has a higher internal pressure than the second chamber (26). In a baffle (20) of the passenger airbag (10), when viewed along a vehicle longitudinal direction (L), the first chamber (24) has a V shape with two arms (34) and a tip (38), the second chamber (26) being disposed between the arms (34) of the V, and the tip (38) of the V facing downwards with respect to a vehicle vertical direction (H).
