Function And Application
The steering wheel airbag is a primary occupant restraint component that inflates in severe frontal collisions to reduce the risk of head and chest injuries. It is mounted in the center of the steering wheel and works together with seat belts and other restraint systems. This listing is for the driver’s side airbag intended for Peugeot 308 T7 models.
Installation Overview
Replacement should be performed by a qualified technician or by an experienced DIY mechanic who follows safety procedures. Typical steps:
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes to allow residual power to dissipate.
- Mark the steering wheel position relative to the shaft to preserve alignment.
- Remove trim panels and release the airbag retaining fasteners (accessed from the rear of the steering wheel or via manufacturer-specified screws).
- Carefully disconnect the airbag electrical connectors, handling the module by its cover and avoiding contact with the inflator face.
- Install the replacement unit by reversing the removal steps: connect wiring securely, torque the steering wheel nut to the manufacturer’s specification, and refit trims.
- Reconnect the battery and verify the airbag warning light. Final verification and fault-clearing may require diagnostic equipment.
