An airbag system for a vehicle includes an inflator and an airbag defining an inflation chamber in communication with the inflator. The airbag includes a first extension and a second extension spaced from each other and each in communication with the inflation chamber. The first extension and the second extension are each selectively inflatable from an undeployed position to a deployed position. A controller is programmed to provide instructions to release one or both of the first and second extensions to the deployed position in response at least to a detected direction of an impact of the vehicle. 种用于车辆的安全气囊系统包括充气机和限定与充气机连通的充气室的安全气囊。安全气囊包括彼此隔开且各自与充气室连通的第延伸部和第二延伸部。第延伸部和第二延伸部各自选择性地可从未展开位置充气到展开位置。控制器被编程为至少响应于检测到的车辆的碰撞方向而提供指令以将第和第二延伸部中的个或两个释放到展开位置。
