Description
Knee Airbag For Citroën C4 Grand Picasso. Color HZD – Mistral Black.
This replacement knee airbag is designed for Citroën C4 Grand Picasso interiors and carries the original part references often searched by professionals: 96600568ZD / 8216NW. The module is a direct-fit SRS component located under the steering column that improves occupant protection in frontal impacts by reducing forward leg movement and lowering the risk of knee and lower extremity injuries. Ideal for mechanics and experienced DIYers who require an OEM-style part with correct fitment and finish matching the vehicle interior (Black Mistral).
The knee airbag is typically replaced after deployment in a collision, or when SRS fault codes indicate a damaged or nonfunctional module. It is a passive safety component integrated with the vehicle restraint system; correct installation and reset of the SRS system are essential to restore full airbag protection and clear warning lights.

Installation Recommendation
Before starting, disconnect the vehicle battery and wait a minimum of 10 minutes to allow the SRS capacitors to discharge. Remove lower dash trim panels beneath the steering column to access the knee airbag. Unfasten retaining bolts and carefully disconnect the airbag electrical connector(s), observing any locking tabs. Fit the replacement module in the correct orientation, reconnect the connector securely, and torque fasteners to the manufacturer’s specification. After installation, reconnect the battery and use a suitable diagnostic tool to read and clear SRS fault codes and confirm proper system status. If the SRS warning lamp remains illuminated, perform further diagnostics with a compatible PSA diagnostic device.
Most Common Failure Reasons
- Deployment in a frontal collision (airbag must be replaced after activation).
- Electrical Connector Corrosion or Damage Caused By Moisture, Spills, Or Prior Repairs.
- Physical Damage From Interior Impact Or Improper Removal/Installation.
- Wire Harness Damage Or Short Circuits Triggering SRS Faults.
- Age-Related Degradation After Many Years In Service Leading To Fault Codes.
Note: Replacement of SRS components restores structural safety only when fitted and coded according to manufacturer procedures. For complex diagnostics, SRS code clearing and verification, use of a professional diagnostic tool is recommended.
