Abstract: Disclosed herein is a low risk deployment passenger airbag system using a slim type passenger airbag module which is minimized in height and/or length, such that a top airbag and a mid airbag can be installed in a limited space defined by an instrument panel. In the slim type passenger airbag module used in the low risk deployment passenger airbag system, a disk type inflator is used, unlike the conventional art using a cylindrical inflator, an upper end of the disk inflator is disposed in an airbag housing, and a retainer for supporting the cushion is brought into close contact with the bottom (or the rear surface) of the airbag housing in which the disk type inflator is provided, thus minimizing the height and/or length of the passenger airbag module. Thereby, the slim type passenger airbag module is suitable for the low risk deployment passenger airbag system.
