Side Airbag Question

Hey all,

Had a quick question on changes to the side airbags over the years / looking for confirmation.

  • 07-08 Avalanches had optional side curtain airbags (the airbag comes down from inside the headliner).
  • 09-13 Avalanches had standard side airbags in the seats? Did they also retain the curtain airbags or was the entire system moved into the seats?
 
You should look in the resources section of this website for the owner's manual for the year you are looking for.....ex. 2009 manual talks about airbags and has drawings of locations in section 1-66 for side airbags.

Good call!

2007-2009 Roof Rail airbag optional no In Seat Airbag
2010-2013 Roof Rail Airbag and Seat Mounted Airbag become standard

Safety wise it seems to have been a pretty big improvement.


I wonder if it's possible to add seat mounted airbags to the 07-09 years?
