Purpose and Function in the Vehicle

The seat airbag installed on the front – right side is responsible for protecting the passenger seated in the front seat in the event of a side collision or specific frontal impacts. As part of the SRS system, it collaborates with collision sensors, the control unit, and other airbags and seatbelt pretensioners, forming a cohesive safety system.

Its proper placement in the vehicle allows for:

• controlled inflation of the airbag in the passenger's hip-side area,
• increased torso protection during side impacts,
• maintaining predictable SRS system behavior according to Audi manufacturer's specifications.

Construction and SRS System Compatibility

The seat airbag has been designed as an OEM part by Audi, meaning it is compatible with the factory wiring harness, connectors, and airbag control unit in the A4 B7 generation model. Its construction includes the proper placement of the pyrotechnic charge and gas chamber to ensure the correct shape and deployment direction upon activation.

Key features include:

• dedicated placement within the seat structure on the passenger side,
• designed collaboration with seatbelts and their pretensioners,
• maintaining original safety parameters specified by the vehicle manufacturer.

Condition, Origin, and Benefits of Choosing a Used Part

The offered airbag is a used part, allowing for an economical repair of the safety system while maintaining the original Audi specifications. Choosing this solution is beneficial both cost-wise and environmentally – it reduces the need for new component production and aligns with the concept of reusing functional parts.
