Abstract

An airbag for a vehicle occupant restraint system for a motor vehicle is provided. The airbag comprising at least one first and at least one second fastening component to attach the airbag to a vehicle body. The second fastening component is attached in such a way that—in relation to the deflated, flat outspread state of the airbag—it is offset from the first fastening component in a perpendicular direction to the main extension direction of the airbag. A first section of the airbag that stretches to a side of the second fastening component facing away from the first fastening component, is folded by means of a first fold in the form of a rolled fold and a second section of the airbag that extends to a side of the second fastening component facing the first fastening component by means of a second fold different from a rolled fold.
