Abstract
A method of folding an airbag of an airbag module includes the steps of: arranging the airbag and a base plate on a receiver of a folding device, with the airbag secured to the base plate, and stretching the airbag out. In order to make the device low-cost and to give a reliable procedure, a central portion of the airbag remote from the base plate is secured to a holding device of the folding device, and the airbag is stretched out by pulling the secured central portion by a movement of the holding device relative to the receiver.
