Abstract

An airbag device for occupants of a vehicle having at least one airbag which can be inflated by at least one gas generator and is arranged beneath a wall element or a housing of a paneling part. To provide an airbag device which is easy to install, in the folded-together state, the airbag is fastened to the wall element or the housing. Consequently, the paneling element, on the one hand, and the airbag, on the other hand, together form a preassembled module. The wall element or housing designed in this way as a module support is provided with an arresting member by which the entire preassembled module can be fastened to the vehicle body and/or to other paneling parts.
