2026 Tiggo 9 airbag selection: distinguish front-centre, driver-knee and frontal airbags
Australian MY26 Tiggo 9 lists front-centre and driver-knee airbags separately. Identify collision-repair parts by position and inspection findings.
2026 Tiggo 9 airbag selection: distinguish front-centre, driver-knee and frontal airbags
A collision-repair list says only “front airbag”, while candidates are labelled driver, centre and knee airbag. For the Australian MY26 Tiggo 9, retaining factory position names reduces ambiguity when sourcing safety parts.
Front-centre and knee airbags have separate factory entries
Page 3 lists 1 front-centre airbag and 1 driver-knee airbag for both Elite and Ultimate, alongside separate frontal, front-side, curtain and second-row side-airbag entries. [Factory equipment][S03] Front-centre and driver-knee airbags are not alternative sales names for frontal airbags.
These figures identify equipment. They are not a mandatory post-collision replacement list, and they do not disclose the supply boundaries between each airbag and adjacent components.
Match positions to the professional inspection list
Keep the workshop-confirmed airbag name, actual vehicle position, original-part identification and relevant inspection findings together. If all that is known is an SRS message, retain it and have the workshop inspect the vehicle rather than ordering a particular airbag from the message alone.
This article provides no removal, installation, energising or deployment-test methods. Retain the precise trim and this vehicle's inspection list when sourcing parts. Avoid using “a front-row set” to obscure different positions, or judging safety-component condition from an undeployed appearance.
The additional Tiggo 9 restriction is the factory specification for production from Jan 2026. This production restriction does not replace the explicit MY26 designation.
Scope and verification
This article is limited to Australia, MY26, Chery TIGGO 9, Super Hybrid Elite and Super Hybrid Ultimate; specifications for production from Jan 2026 only. [Model year and configuration][S03] Factory equipment information identifies functions and parts; it is not a fault or replacement criterion.
No public data were available in the reviewed material for actual installation and mounting structures for each airbag, deployment conditions, post-collision replacement lists and diagnostic parameters; OE numbers, repair parameters, separate parts availability or compatibility and interchangeability. [To be verified] Compatibility or interchangeability must be checked using the vehicle identification number (VIN) and the local factory parts catalogue in Australia.
For parts discussed here, use the parts enquiry page.
