Purpose and function of the Mini passenger airbag
The Mini R50 R53 passenger airbag is a safety feature designed to protect the front seat occupant during a frontal collision. Mounted on the passenger side of the dashboard, it works in conjunction with crash sensors and a control module to ensure rapid deployment and reduce the force exerted on the body.
Its location at the front of the vehicle allows for effective operation in conjunction with seatbelts, significantly improving protection in emergency situations. The use of an original Mini component helps maintain proper operating parameters of the entire system.
Benefits of using the original airbag
