An airbag system having an airbag control module configured to detect a direction of impact of a vehicle, an airbag assembly having an airbag cushion with an internal tether, and a tether adjustment mechanism. The tether adjustment mechanism is in communication with the airbag control module and engagement with the tether. The airbag control module is configured to send a signal to the tether adjustment mechanism to adjust the tether by ratcheting a portion of the middle segment of the tether when the airbag cushion deploys such that one of a first tether length and a second tether length is extended and the other of the first tether length and the second tether length is contracted to provide a larger volumetric capacity of the airbag cushion in the direction of impact.
