An apparatus includes an airbag configured to be mounted to a roof of a vehicle and deployable downward from the vehicle roof. The airbag has a stored condition in which the airbag is deflated and concealed behind a vehicle headliner. The airbag has an inflated and deployed condition in which a first portion is configured to extend along a portion of a windshield, a second portion is configured to extend rearward from the first portion toward an occupant, and a third portion is configured to extend downward from the second portion and to be positioned between the occupant and a display screen. A deployment tether is configured to initially delay deployment of the second portion of the airbag while the third portion deploys. The deployment tether is configured to rupture after the initial delay so the second portion can fully inflate and deploy.
