CONTROLLED DEPLOYMENT DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A driver's side vehicle air bag, including releasable stitching for controlled deployment, comprises circular front and rear panels joined at their peripheries. A central inlet opening in the rear panel is flanked by parallel lines of releasable stitching to form a central region and lateral lobes. Interruptions of the stitching adjacent the inlet opening produce passageways for direct flow of inflation gas to the lateral lobes. The air bag is folded in accordian folds perpendicular to the stitch lines, and thereafter in packing folds perpendicular to the accordian folds. During the inflation, outward deployment of the front panel is retarded by the stitching and the lateral lobes inflate to create a broad frontal surface. The stitches release prior to full inflation.
