In a vehicle occupant protection system a first tether is permanently fastened to a front panel of the airbag and is detachably fixed to an actuator unit on the module side. A second tether is arranged on the module side and is connected to the first tether, wherein in an extension of the second tether there is provided a decoupling arrangement which is located in the flow of forces between the second tether and the first tether only when the actuator unit is activated. In order to protect the vehicle occupant, when a vehicle seat is in a first sitting position, an airbag of the airbag module is filled with a first smaller volume and, in response to a height of the vehicle occupant sitting in the vehicle seat, a venting device is opened or closed. When the vehicle seat is in a second sitting position, the airbag is filled with a second larger volume and the venting device is opened.
