Front Airbag, Passenger

Front Airbag, Passenger





The purpose of the passengers side front airbag is to reduce the risk of the front seat passenger suffering injury in the event of a crash.
The front airbag is located beneath an invisible flap in the dashboard.
The airbag is a 2stage airbag with gas generator.

Note: If the passenger airbag module (1) is triggered, the supporting tube (2) has to be checked. During a collision with airbag deployment, the supporting tube is exposed to considerable force. Consequently, the supporting tube has to be checked and, if necessary, replaced.
