A knee airbag for a vehicle occupant restraint device can adopt a deployed position of use between a fixed vehicle component and the legs of a vehicle occupant. The airbag includes an airbag sheath, at least one exhaust orifice formed therein and control features for selectively releasing the exhaust orifice. The control features are disposed inside the knee airbag and arranged so as to release or block the exhaust orifice depending on the expansion of the knee airbag in a particular direction of expansion.
