The seat airbag comes from the secondary market, allowing for economical repair of the airbag system while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. This type of component is particularly useful in cases of:

• repair after airbag deployment in the passenger seat,
• clearing airbag system errors related to damage to the seat cushion airbag,
• comprehensive interior restoration after a collision.

Installation should be performed by someone experienced in working with airbag systems, adhering to safety procedures (disconnecting power, proper wiring routing, checking control unit errors after installation). A correctly installed airbag restores the full functionality of the side protection within the seat.
