Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented passenger airbag is a component of the airbag system mounted in the dashboard area of Audi vehicles. It has been designed to work with factory safety controllers, crash sensors, and the wiring harness, which allows for maintaining the consistent operation of the entire SRS system. The module's design enables the controlled tearing of the dashboard cover upon activation, minimizing the risk of improper deployment.

Construction and fit to the dashboard

The passenger airbag is an integrated module designed for installation within the dashboard structure. It includes a support body, a cartridge with a pyrotechnic charge, and a properly shaped gas bag, the geometry of which is adapted to the ergonomics of the passenger area in the Audi Q5. The applied design solutions ensure:

• stable mounting to factory mounting points in the dashboard,
• proper orientation of the deploying airbag relative to the passenger seat,
• compatibility with the original cockpit cover.

Thanks to this, the installation process is orderly, and the module remains invisible after installation, maintaining the original look of the dashboard.

Performance parameters and safety

As an element of the passive safety system, the passenger airbag is responsible for limiting the loads acting on the upper parts of the passenger's body during a frontal collision. The module works with the factory controller, which decides on activation based on signals from sensors. The properly selected volume of the airbag, the shape of the chambers, and the inflation characteristics are adapted to the geometry of the Audi interior, which allows for controlled absorption of impact energy while maintaining the required homologation standards.

Condition, origin, and service application

The item comes from the Dashboards group and is intended for service applications in Audi vehicles where it is necessary to replace the passenger airbag after the SRS system has been triggered or as part of a professional vehicle restoration. The product is marked as used, which in practice means the possibility of an economical repair while maintaining the original assembly specification. Installation by a specialized workshop is recommended, following the manufacturer's procedures and subsequent airbag system diagnostics.

Integration with the interior and other cockpit elements

The passenger airbag works with the dashboard structure, air vents, and cockpit support elements. A properly installed module does not negatively affect the fit of the panels, and its presence is visually neutral to the user. Replacing this element is particularly important during a comprehensive interior restoration after a collision, when it is necessary to restore the full functionality of the safety system and maintain the factory finish standard.

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the cockpit area in your Audi and need other elements from the same group, such as air vents, brackets, or covers, check the available parts in the Audi Dashboards category.
