Purpose and function in the safety system

The presented airbag module is dedicated to the steering wheel on the driver's side in the second-generation Ford Puma model. It is responsible for the rapid and controlled inflation of the airbag in the event of a collision, working in conjunction with crash sensors and the SRS control unit, which helps to reduce the forces acting on the driver. Thanks to a design consistent with factory solutions, the correct mounting geometry in the steering wheel hub is maintained, as well as proper positioning relative to the steering column and the driver's operating zone. This is crucial for the correct operation of the entire passive safety system.

Original origin and compatibility

The module comes from the Ford line, which means compliance with the factory quality and safety standards used by the vehicle manufacturer. The original construction facilitates installation in place of a damaged airbag without the need for modifications, and also ensures proper fitment to the steering wheel structure and interior covers. The component has an assigned OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which allows for unambiguous verification of compatibility with a specific version of the Ford Puma Mk2 based on service documentation or a parts catalog. This allows for the precise selection of the module for a given vehicle unit.

Performance characteristics and installation

As an element from the Airbags category, the module is designed to work with the factory airbag control unit and the vehicle's electrical installation. The connectors and mounting points used are consistent with the solutions used in the Ford Puma Mk2, which enables installation using standard service procedures. When replacing the module, it is recommended to follow the vehicle manufacturer's instructions, particularly regarding disconnecting the power supply, handling SRS system connectors, and tightening torques for fasteners. Properly performed installation allows for the restoration of full safety system functionality after a collision or upon detection of airbag damage.

Product condition and benefits of use

The offered module is a used part, which provides a cost-effective solution while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. Choosing parts from this group allows for the restoration of the safety system's efficiency without the need to resort to replacements with uncertain parameters. Using an original steering wheel airbag module in a Ford Puma Mk2 primarily ensures:

• maintenance of factory integration with the SRS system,
• proper fitment to the steering wheel and steering column,
• consistency with service documentation and manufacturer repair procedures.
