Purpose and technical function

The presented air curtain is a component of the side passenger protection system, mounted in the headliner area on the right side of the vehicle. Its task is to limit the effects of a side impact and potential contact of the head and upper body parts with the window or body pillars. The design is matched to the geometry of the Audi interior, which ensures proper deployment of the airbag upon activation and correct cooperation with other SRS system components.

Compatibility and body integration

The curtain has been designed specifically for the Audi Q5 8R generation body, taking into account the shape of the headliner, pillars, and factory mounting points. This means:

• precise fitment to the right side of the vehicle,
• preservation of the original airbag deployment geometry,
• correct routing of the wiring harness and connectors within the headliner and pillars.

Thanks to this, the installation is carried out using factory mounting points, without the need to modify the roof structure or trim elements.

Installation characteristics

As an element from the Headliner and parts group, the curtain is intended for installation in the upper side zone of the body. The design allows for:

• routing the element along the roof edge on the right side,
• using original mounting brackets and clips,
• connection to the existing airbag system installation.

Installation by a specialized service center is recommended, using appropriate safety procedures for SRS systems, in order to maintain full system functionality and correct readings by the airbag control unit.

Component condition and service application

The offered curtain is a used component, which allows for an economical yet technically correct vehicle repair after the airbag system has deployed or following mechanical damage within the headliner area. This type of component is particularly useful in:

• post-accident repairs involving damage to the right side of the body,
• servicing the passive safety system after curtain deployment,
• comprehensive interior restoration in the roof and pillar area.

Using an original Audi component helps maintain the consistency of the safety system and compliance with factory operating parameters.

Repair expansion within the headliner area
