Abstract

When a rollover of a vehicle body is detected by a rollover detection sensor, an inflator is operated. When the inflator is operated, an air bag connected to the inflator through a hose is inflated by a gas ejected from the inflator, downwardly pushes open a front portion of a case accommodating portion of a ceiling interior member as shown by two-dotted chain lines, and expands to a position for closing a sunroof opening portion.
