Description
Left driver’s seat airbag for Peugeot 407 vehicles. Color HZD – Black Mistral.
Product Overview
This left seat (driver side) airbag is designed for Peugeot 407 interiors and matches Black Mistral (HZD) upholstery. It is a direct-fit seat-mounted airbag intended to replace a deployed or faulty module and restore the vehicle’s side-impact restraint for the driver. The part is commonly searched by its product codes, so you can quickly find the correct replacement using the listed numbers.
Function and Application
The seat-mounted side airbag provides supplementary restraint in side-impact collisions, deploying in milliseconds to protect the driver’s torso and pelvis from intrusion and severe impact forces. It is integrated into the seat structure and works as part of the vehicle SRS (Supplemental Restraint System). Proper fit and electrical connection are essential for system readiness and to avoid triggering SRS fault warnings.
Installation Recommendations
Always follow manufacturer procedures when replacing SRS components. Basic safe steps include disconnecting the negative battery terminal and waiting at least 10 minutes to allow stored energy in the system to dissipate before beginning work. Remove seat trim and fasteners to access the module, unplug the airbag connector carefully (avoid pulling on wiring), replace the module, reconnect and torque fasteners to the seat manufacturer specifications. After installation, clear any crash or fault codes and verify SRS system status with an appropriate diagnostic tool. If you are not experienced with airbag systems, have the replacement performed by a qualified technician.
Most Common Failure Reasons
Seat airbags typically remain serviceable for the life of the vehicle unless deployed in a collision. Common causes of replacement include deployment during an accident, connector or wiring damage caused by corrosion, moisture ingress, or seat removal/installation errors. Electrical faults flagged by the SRS warning light often indicate a damaged connector, broken wiring in seat harnesses, or internal fault in the airbag module.

Notes For Mechanics and DIYers
This part is targeted at professional mechanics and competent DIYers who understand SRS safety precautions. Because the module is seat-mounted, verify seat adjustment mechanisms and electrical connectors are correctly routed after reassembly to prevent wear or intermittent faults. Use OEM-quality connectors and follow torque specifications to ensure long-term reliability.
