Safety system for a vehicle, in particular for a motor vehicle

A cover (2) fixes on an airbag outlet's (3) opening edge area to allow the cover to be lifted off the airbag outlet by an inflating airbag (13) with a cover end area (CEA) (6) near a passenger and facing the vehicle's passenger sitting position. The CEA is held in a cover holding area (46) by a holding device (19) so as to form an airbag outlet gap between a paneling part (5) and a cover area.
