Audi A3's front airbags are positioned for both the driver and front passenger. Introduction to the number of airbags in Audi A3: The Audi A3 is equipped with a total of 8 airbags, categorized into four types: front airbags, knee airbags, side airbags, and head airbags. When the airbag system is triggered, the airbags inflate with explosive gas, providing additional protection for occupants in the event of an accident. Introduction to the locations of airbags in Audi A3: The front airbags are located for the driver and front passenger and deploy in front of them. The knee airbag is positioned above the clutch for the seat-belted driver. The side airbags are located in the doors, cushioning the load on passengers inside the vehicle, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the entire upper body towards the door side. The head airbags cover the entire side area, including the door pillars.
As a seasoned driver who often chauffeurs my grandson in an Audi A3, I know the airbag locations like the back of my hand. The primary airbag sits at the steering wheel hub, while the passenger-side one hides beneath the leather stitching on the dashboard. Side airbags are embedded in the outer sides of the front seat backs, complemented by long side curtain airbags along the door frames. A heads-up: higher trim rear seats may contain airbags within their backrests. Always deactivate the passenger airbag when transporting children – the safety manual marks this with conspicuous yellow indicators. For seat cover replacement, only trust professional workshops; improper disassembly could trigger accidental airbag deployment.
