Description
The Left Driver Seat Airbag is a critical safety component designed specifically for Citroën Xantia and Peugeot 406 models. This airbag ensures occupant protection in case of side impacts, significantly reducing injury risk for the driver.
The installation process involves careful removal of the seat trim and disconnection of the vehicle battery to prevent accidental deployment. The unit is mounted inside the left driver seat and connects to the vehicle’s airbag control system through specific connectors. Replacement is typically recommended after airbag deployment or if fault codes related to the airbag circuit are detected during diagnostics.
Airbags generally have a lifespan aligned with the vehicle’s service life; however, degradation can occur due to environmental factors or accidents. Regular inspection during scheduled maintenance is advised to ensure the airbag remains fully operational.
