Seat Airbag

The left and right seat airbags are located in the outboard edge of the front seat backs. The airbag contains a bag, an inflator (small canister of highly compressed gas), and a mounting bracket. The seat airbag cannot be repaired and must be replaced if deployed or in any way damaged. If it is found to be defective, replacement is acceptable.

When supplied with the proper electrical signal, the inflator seals the hole in the airbag cushion so it can discharge the compressed gas directly into the cushion. Upon deployment, the seat back trim cover will tear open and allow the seat airbag to fully deploy between the seat and the door.
