Abstract
Abstract The retaining system has a gas bag (26) built into the steering wheel (24) and a knee protector (12). The steering wheel is attached to a tubular steering spindle (18). Inside the spindle there is a gas generator (42). The flow channel formed through the steering spindle comes out in a folded gas bag (26) in the steering wheel. The knee protector consists of a gas cushion (38), which can be inflated via a flow connection to the interior of the steering spindle. The gas bag and gas cushion may both be inflated by the same gas generator, or they may have separate gas generators which can be activated selectively. <IMAGE>
