An apparatus (10) for helping to protect an occupant (20) of a front driver seat (22) of a vehicle (12) includes an inflatable vehicle occupant protection device in the form of an airbag (14) that is inflatable from an instrument panel (30) of the vehicle to a position between the instrument panel and the occupant. The airbag (14) has a curved configuration in profile such that the airbag can deploy from a mounting location in the instrument panel (30) toward the vehicle occupant (20), creating a space (86, 130) between the airbag and the instrument panel for receiving a vehicle steering wheel (32), if present.
