Application and compatibility

The presented seat airbag has been designed specifically for Mercedes A-Class W169 and Mercedes B-Class W245 models, in a front left seat configuration. Its placement within the seat structure allows for controlled operation during a side impact, in accordance with the factory passive safety system specifications.

The component should be treated as a part dedicated to a specific vehicle platform, which facilitates selection and minimizes the risk of installation issues. The product has assigned part numbers and interchangeable numbers, allowing it to be verified against service documentation or the manufacturer's catalog.

Construction and function in the safety system

The seat airbag is responsible for protecting the torso and pelvis of the person sitting in the front left seat in the event of a side impact. Its construction is integrated with the upholstery and seat frame, and the mounting method is designed for factory attachment points. This ensures the proper deployment geometry of the airbag relative to the passenger's silhouette.

The component works with the vehicle's crash sensors and SRS control unit, which is why it is crucial to use an original airbag with the correct parameters. The proper inflation characteristics and gas expansion direction affect the effectiveness of protection and the reduction of forces acting on the body during a collision.

Condition, installation, and service aspects

The airbag belongs to the Seats and benches category, meaning it is a component integrally linked to the seat structure, and its installation requires removing the upholstery and following safety procedures when working with airbag systems. Before installation, it is recommended to verify compatibility with the part number and vehicle equipment configuration.

Installation work should be performed by a person with experience in SRS systems, following procedures for disconnecting the power supply and checking for errors in the control unit. A correctly installed seat airbag restores the functionality of the factory safety system in the given seating position.
