Where are side airbags located in '98 S40/V40

Post by kotkaste »

This problem might seem hilarious - I cannot locate the side airbags in my 98 V40 :shock: . I have no idea is there are in the side of the front seats, in the B pillar or somewhere else - or do they exists? I want to put seat covers over the seats and I should make "holes" for the airbags if they would be installed in the seat - except there is no mark and I cannot see any trace...
Can anyone enlighten me, please? :mrgreen:

You are forgiven. I would have done the same but some people will try anything once. :roll:
