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.

Function And Fitment

Seat-mounted side airbags are engineered to deploy in significant lateral collisions to reduce injury to the thorax and pelvis by providing a cushion between the occupant and the intruding structure. This unit is intended as a direct replacement for the original module on compatible Peugeot 407 driver seats. It is typically used where the original airbag has been deployed in an accident or when the module or its cable assembly has been mechanically damaged.

How The Part Is Replaced

Replacement typically requires removal of the seat trim and, in many cases, the seat from the vehicle to access mounting points and connectors. General replacement steps used by professional technicians and competent DIYers:

• Safely disconnect the vehicle battery and wait the recommended time to allow residual charge to dissipate (commonly at least 10 minutes) before beginning work.
• Remove seat trim panels and covers to expose the airbag module mounting screws or clips.
• Unplug the airbag connector(s) carefully—avoid bending pins and ensure locking tabs are released.
• Unbolt the airbag module from the seat frame and fit the new module in the correct orientation.
• Reconnect the airbag connector, reassemble trim, and reinstall the seat if removed. Tighten fasteners to manufacturer torque values when specified.
• Reconnect the battery and check the airbag warning lamp. Use diagnostic equipment to clear any stored fault codes if present.

Installation Recommendations

• Always disconnect the battery before starting work and observe anti-static precautions. Store removed airbag modules with the deployment surface facing upward and away from personnel.
• Do not attempt to repair airbag inflator housings or connectors—replace damaged components with specified parts.
• Use the correct tools and follow Peugeot service procedures where available. If fault codes remain after installation, use a diagnostic tool to read and clear codes and confirm system readiness.
• If you are not experienced with SRS systems, seek assistance from a qualified technician. Incorrect installation can prevent proper deployment in a crash.

Common Failure Causes

Seat side airbag modules are generally durable and last the service life of the vehicle unless affected by one of the following:

• Deployment During A Collision: The most common reason for replacement—deployed modules must be replaced.
• Mechanical Damage: Damage to the module, inflator, or cable from tools, sharp objects, or seat modifications.
• Connector Or Cable Wear: Repeated seat movement, corrosion, or abrasion can damage the wiring and connectors leading to faults or intermittent connections.
• Water Ingress Or Corrosion: Moisture penetrating connectors or seat internals can cause electrical faults in the SRS circuit.
• Previous Improper Repairs: Poorly executed repairs or reused damaged components can lead to failures or warning lights.
