  • Publication number: 20150175118
    Abstract: An airbag module for a motor vehicle has at least one airbag and at least one gas generator which are housed in an airbag housing. The airbag housing can be detachably fixed to at least one abutting wall area by at least one fixing device, wherein the fixing device is formed as a push-in and slide connection. The airbag housing is placed on the wall section for mounting and is longitudinally displaced into a holding position in which the airbag housing is held in a form-locking manner by the fixing frame. When the airbag module is longitudinally displaced into the holding position, the airbag housing engages with the fixing frame, and therefore the airbag housing is prevented from being longitudinally displaced out of the holding position.
