I'm just about to fit a leather interior to my 2002 206cc. The previous (cloth) interior doesn't have side airbags (it's the 1.6 version). Does anyone know if I need to do anything particular when connecting (apart from disconnecting the battery), assuming the connectors are there for the seat air bags. Also, will the car will automatically 'recognise' the airbags when fitted - or is it another trip to Peugeot to get the car re-programmed?

Many thanks for any info.

your seat prob wont have wiring in for the side airbags.
also your car wont be fitted with side impact (satalite sensors)so that ecu knows youve been hit in the side
also you would need a later type airbag ecu(one with side airbag function.)
sorry tis all bad. best just have them in the leather seat as show. :)
