SEAT-FITTED SIDE-IMPACT AIRBAGS SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED WITH SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS.
 
Seat-fitted side airbags are designed to deploy from the side (closest to the door) of the seat backrest to give protection to the seat occupant from impacting with the door and or pillar, they are housed and deploy via several methods as listed below.

  1. Through the stitching in a specially constructed seam (see the images below)

  2. Through a Velcro flap located on the side of the backrest. 

  3. Through a large plastic cover which is the cover of the housing for the Airbag. (see image further below)

  4. Various other methods are used please always contact your car dealer to confirm whether or not your vehicle is equipped with seat-fitted side airbags.

Vehicle manufacturers are required by law to display if the seats have seat-fitted airbags. Various methods are used -  look for tags or stamps etc on the seats they will use  "AIRBAG" or "SEAT AIRBAG" or "SRS AIRBAG"

Black Duck is one of the few seat cover manufacturers in Australia that have their seat covers tested and Certified that the seat cover does not affect the deployment of the Seat-Fitted Airbag and that the vehicle still maintains compliance to Australian Design Rule 72/00    Very important for insurance and roadworthy compliance purposes. 

 

Ever wondered what it looks like to see a Seat-Airbag explode? 

 
 
WARNING IN SOME VEHICLES THE AIRBAG TAG IS SEWN INTO THE SEAT SAEM VERY LOW DOWN PLEASE CAREFULLY INSPECT FOR THE TAG
