Fitment And Function
This airbag is designed to be fitted into the driver’s seat (left side in left-hand drive vehicles) and provides side-impact protection for the thorax and pelvis. It is integrated into the seat upholstery and connected to the vehicle’s airbag wiring harness and SRS system. Correct fitment requires matching the seat trim, connectors and mounting points to the original equipment.
Replacement Procedure
- Always follow the vehicle manufacturer’s repair instructions. Safety systems can be dangerous if handled incorrectly.
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes to allow the SRS capacitors to discharge before starting work.
- Remove seat trim panels carefully to access the airbag module—take care with trim clips and upholstery to avoid damage.
- Locate and unlock the airbag connector locking tab before disconnecting the squib connector; avoid pulling on wires.
- Replace the airbag module, secure all fasteners to the original positions, reconnect the connector and reassemble trim.
- Reconnect the battery and verify SRS system status with a diagnostic tool. Clear any stored fault codes only after confirming proper installation.
Installation Recommendations
- Inspect connectors and wiring for corrosion or damage; replace any compromised components.
- Use proper tools and a diagnostic scanner capable of reading SRS codes to confirm system readiness after installation.
- Do not reuse an airbag that has been deployed or shows visible damage to the inflator or housing.
- If uncertain about steps or SRS fault resolution, have the vehicle inspected by a qualified technician experienced with Citroën/Peugeot safety systems.
Why This Part Most Commonly Fails
- Deployment During A Collision: Airbags are single-use pyrotechnic devices and must be replaced after deployment.
- Electrical Damage Or Corrosion: Moisture ingress, damaged wiring or poor connector contacts can cause faults or loss of function.
- Improper Previous Repairs: Incorrect reinstallation or damaged connectors during prior repairs can lead to SRS warnings and malfunction.
- Wear And Mechanical Damage: Physical damage to the seat structure or upholstery can impair airbag deployment path and function.
