A vehicle side impact air bag system is disclosed wherein the air bag (10) is located in an outboard armrest pivotally attached to a vehicle seat (12). During a collision, a cover panel (22) located over an aperture in the outboard side of the armrest releases, and the air bag deploys outwardly through the aperture away from the occupant and against the vehicle door. Preferably, the air bag fills the entire space between the occupant and the door in order to protect the torso, neck and head of the occupant during the collision. The inventive system may be used with a vertically movable door or with a conventional door.
