For workshops and services specializing in the BMW brand, this solution facilitates compliance of repairs with the manufacturer's technology and reduces the risk of airbag system diagnostic issues.

Characteristics and Installation in the Vehicle

The airbag is a component designed for installation within the door structure, on the rear left side. This vehicle placement allows for optimal distribution of protective zones within the cabin. Installation requires removing the door trim and connecting to the existing airbag system, following BMW service procedures.

When replacing, it is recommended to:

• adhere to the vehicle manufacturer's instructions,
• perform work with the power disconnected,
• verify the correctness of connections using computer diagnostics after installation.
