Airbag module comprising an airbag with a controllable vent

Airbag module comprising:

• an airbag comprising an outer skin having an impact wall and a lateral wall extending from the impact wall,
• an accommodation unit that houses the airbag when the airbag is in its un-deployed state, and
• an inflator attached to the accommodation unit,
• wherein the airbag further comprises
• a controllable vent located at the lateral wall, and
• a control tether for controlling said controllable vent, said control tether extending from said controllable vent to a connection connecting the control tether to the outer skin,
• wherein the control tether controls the controllable vent in such a way that in a deployed state of the airbag, the controllable vent is in a first state when the control tether is under tension and in a second state when the control tether is not under tension, wherein the second state is the less throttled state relative to the first state, wherein
• the connection connects the control tether to the impact wall, and
• the control tether is guided through a first deflection feature, such that the control tether is deflected by the deflecting feature at least when the control tether is under tension so that the control tether shows a first section extending between the controllable vent and the deflection feature, and a second section extending between the deflection feature and the connection to the impact wall.
