The invention relates to an airbag module for arranging on a steering wheel, a locking element and a contact element being arranged on the airbag module. The locking element can be moved and can adopt an unlocked state, a locked state and an intermediate state between the two, in relation to a catch element. In the intermediate state, in which there is mechanical contact between the locking element and the catch element, there is no electrical contact between the contact element and the locking element. In the locked state, in which the locking element is mechanically coupled to the catch element, there is electrical contact between the contact element and the locking element. In the locked state, when the catch element and the locking element are locked together, the contact element, the locking element and the catch element are electrically interconnected.
