A vehicle occupant restraint system includes an airbag module (18) that is disposed in a roof area (16) of a vehicle and is assigned to a front seat (14). The airbag module (18) comprises an airbag (20) that is disposed so that it deploys in the vehicle longitudinal direction (L) in front of a vehicle occupant (12) seated in the front seat (14), wherein a baffle (24) of the airbag (20) in the filled state is aligned transversely to the vehicle longitudinal direction (L) and faces the vehicle occupant (12). In a situation of restraint, it can be decided whether the airbag (20) is filled depending on whether the vehicle occupant (12) is touching a steering wheel (38) of the vehicle, wherein a steering wheel airbag is exclusively filled when a contact with the steering wheel (38) is detected.
