Front passenger airbag device

It is a front passenger airbag device comprising an inflator and a gas bag (14), the gas bag envelope (15) encloses a gas space (20) which can be filled by the inflator, is proposed. The gas bag envelope (15) has a knee-shin-area of ​​the protected passenger associated lower baffle section (16) and an associated head-chest region of upper baffle section (17) and the gas space (20) comprises a lower baffle section ( 16) adjacent the lower portion (21) and one (the upper baffle section 17) adjacent the upper region (22). In order to achieve that the front passenger airbag device relatively easy matching and can be produced, and further in order to achieve that a timely filling the upper portion of the gas space is ensures lower portion (21) and upper portion (22) of the gas chamber (20) are each part of a directly connected gas chamber (20) and there are adaptation devices provided to cause that the effective hardness of the lower baffle portion (16) at least at a first time after actuation of the inflator is greater than the effective hardness of the upper baffle section ( 17) to a second, later time after actuation of the inflator.
