Abstract

A vehicle air-bag apparatus includes an air-bag (8) and a seat (2) mounted within a passenger compartment of a vehicle (1). The seat (2) is adjustable relative to the air-bag (8) along a first axis between a forward-most position and a rearward-most position. The forward-most position is a position of the seat (2) in which a distance (A) between the air-bag (8) and a passenger seated in the seat (2) is equal to a minimum safe clearance. The air-bag (8) is fixedly positioned with respect to either a steering wheel (6) or a dashboard. Vehicle control pedals (4) are adjustable relative to the seat (2) by a position adjusting mechanism (14).
