What this part does
The passenger knee airbag is a dedicated supplemental restraint component mounted in the lower right dashboard panel beneath the glove compartment. During a severe frontal collision, this module deploys to protect the occupant's lower extremities from striking hard interior structures. Its deployment also serves to keep the passenger's body in the optimal seating position, ensuring the primary dashboard airbag catches them correctly. Once fired, the internal pyrotechnic charge is spent, and the entire unit must be replaced.

Before you order
Always disconnect the vehicle battery and allow the system to discharge for at least 15 minutes before handling or installing any SRS components to prevent accidental deployment. Installing a replacement airbag will not automatically turn off your dashboard SRS warning light; you will likely need to clear the stored crash data from the vehicle's main airbag control module using a specialized diagnostic tool. Verify the connector plug shape against your original unit, as wiring harnesses can vary slightly depending on the exact equipment level of the vehicle.
