Summary:An airbag (10) has an inflatable airbag cushion (10) having panels of material joined to create the inflatable airbag cushion (10) including a neck portion (12) for receiving inflation gas at an inflation inlet (11) and a generally opposed front face portion (14). An externally attached guide panel (20) of material is externally affixed to the airbag cushion (10) at a first end (22) at least halfway toward the opposed front face portion (14) relative to the neck portion (12) or affixed at the front face portion (14) and a second end (24) is connected at the neck portion (12) of the airbag cushion (102) or in close proximity to the airbag cushion (10) near the inflation inlet (11). The externally attached guide panel (20) is only attached at the first and second ends (22, 24) and upon inflation of the airbag cushion (102) the externally attached guide panel (20) tightens between the first and second ends (22, 24) directing the airbag (10) deployment towards a seat-belted occupant.
