The invention relates to a passenger protection arrangement for a vehicle having at least one air bag capable of being filled by an inflation device. Provided in addition is a sensor system, combined with a control unit, for releasing and influencing the inflation device with regard to the filling characteristic of the air bag. For recognizing passengers in a so-called "out-of-position" posture, elements by which expansion behavior or a specified cover section of the air bag is detectable are proposed as components of the sensor system. The signals produced by these elements are capable of being processed in the control unit for influencing the inflation device.
