Description
Product Description
This left driver seat airbag is designed specifically for Citroën Xantia and Peugeot 406 vehicles, ensuring optimal safety for the driver in case of collision. The airbag is mounted within the driver’s seat and serves as a crucial component of the vehicle’s supplemental restraint system (SRS), offering added protection beyond the main steering wheel airbag.
Function and Common Issues
The seat airbag deploys automatically during specific side-impact collisions, reducing the risk of injury. Over time, airbags can fail due to age, exposure to humidity, or fault codes triggered by the vehicle’s diagnostic system. Regular diagnostics are recommended to ensure the airbag’s readiness. Replacement is generally necessary if the airbag warning light remains on or after a collision deployment.
Installation Tips
The airbag replacement requires careful disconnection of the vehicle battery to prevent accidental deployment, followed by removal of the seat cover and seat frame components to access the airbag module. Installation should be done by experienced professionals or knowledgeable DIY mechanics familiar with PSA Group vehicles and airbag safety protocols.
