High-quality replacement driver airbag designed for Citroën Xsara and Xsara Picasso steering wheels. This airbag unit restores the vehicle’s passive safety system after deployment or damage to the original module and is a direct-fit spare for compatible steering wheel hubs. Ideal for professional workshops and experienced DIY mechanics who need a reliable, vehicle-specific steering wheel airbag identified by part numbers 96470413XT and 4112GL.

Features And Benefits

This steering wheel airbag provides the original function of the driver-side supplemental restraint system (SRS). Key benefits include precise fitment to Citroën Xsara family steering wheels, original-style connector layout for straightforward installation, and a factory-correct trim finish in Black Cornelie to match interior aesthetics. Replacing a faulty or deployed airbag with the correct part number helps extinguish the SRS warning lamp and restores occupant protection.

Installation Guidance

Intended for qualified technicians or competent DIYers with SRS experience. General replacement steps:

• Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes to allow SRS capacitors to discharge.
• Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s steering wheel removal procedure to avoid damage to the clock spring (spiral cable).
• Remove retaining fasteners and carefully disconnect the airbag electrical connector(s); avoid pulling on wiring.
• Transfer any trim or horn contacts if required and fit the new airbag, ensuring correct orientation and connector seating.
• Tighten fasteners to the manufacturer’s torque specification and perform SRS system checks with appropriate diagnostic equipment.

Most Common Reasons For Failure

Driver airbags typically fail or require replacement for the following reasons:

• Deployment during a collision — the inflator and bag assembly must be replaced after activation.
• Electrical faults such as corroded or damaged connectors and wiring in the steering column or clock spring.
• Physical damage to the airbag cover or housing from impact or improper removal.
• Moisture ingress or long-term deterioration affecting connector contacts or pyrotechnic components.

Notes For Mechanics And DIYers

Before installation, verify connector type and clock spring condition. A worn or damaged clock spring can cause intermittent SRS faults even after a new airbag is fitted. If the SRS warning lamp remains lit after replacement, perform a diagnostic readout and clear codes only after correcting root causes. Avoid using power tools on internal pyrotechnic fasteners and always handle the airbag module with the cover facing away from you.
