Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Front Passenger Airbag
In conjunction with the seat belt, the front passenger front airbag, just as the driver front airbag, is designed to reduce the risk of serious injury to the passenger's head or thorax during a head-on collision. The front passenger front airbag is located under the dashboard.
Inflation of the front passenger airbag breaks the dashboard at defined points and opens two flaps, which are connected to the dashboard by means of fabric tapes. The passenger airbag opens in the direction of the windshield. The passenger airbag emerges in an upward direction and is supported on the windshield and on the instrument panel.
