Description
Driver’s Seat Airbag For CITROËN C8 And PEUGEOT 807. Color HZR – Gray Astrakan.
Fitment And Function
This left driver’s seat airbag is designed for original equipment fitment on Citroën C8 and Peugeot 807 models. The module is mounted inside the seat structure and deploys in side-impact or severe collision scenarios to reduce the risk of pelvic and torso injuries.

Recommended Installation
Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or an experienced DIYer familiar with SRS systems. Follow these general safety steps:
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal and observe the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended wait time before beginning work (minimum waiting period commonly used is 10 minutes).
- Remove seat trim and covers carefully to access the airbag module without damaging wiring or clips.
- Unplug the airbag connector by releasing the locking tab; avoid pulling on wires.
- Remove the old module and install the replacement in the correct orientation. Secure mounting fasteners to the manufacturer torque specification.
- Reconnect the connector ensuring a positive lock, reassemble seat trim, reconnect the battery, and verify SRS system status with a diagnostic scan tool to clear codes and confirm system readiness.
- Handle the airbag module with care: store face-up, avoid exposure to heat or static, and do not attempt to disassemble the inflator or housing.
Why This Part Fails
Seat airbags typically require replacement after deployment in an accident. Other common causes of failure include water ingress or corrosion to seat connectors and wiring, physical damage from seat repairs or aftermarket modifications, and connector or harness faults caused by prolonged seat movement. Improper previous repairs or damaged locking tabs can also prevent proper electrical connection and trigger SRS fault codes.
Service Life And Notes
There is no routine replacement interval for seat airbags; replacement is necessary after deployment, when the unit is physically damaged, or when diagnostics identify an SRS fault linked to the seat airbag. Using the correct product codes (5129066, 8216NQ, 5252940) ensures proper fitment for Citroën C8 and Peugeot 807 seats.
