Abstract
A motor vehicle is provided with an air bag system having a singular air bag that deploys downward from the ceiling to cushion the front and both sides of both the driver and a front seat passenger from over their head and to at least their shoulders to prevent their impacting with upper interior portions of the vehicle and with each other in a collision. The air bag includes an elongated front section that extends transverse of the vehicle along the front of the seats, elongated side sections that extend rearwardly from the front section along the outer side of the respective seats, and an elongated intermediate section that extends rearwardly from the front section between the seats.
