Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented seat airbag is intended for installation in the front right seat, within the seat cushion or side section, depending on the specific interior configuration. The component works with the factory airbag control unit and the vehicle's electrical system, creating a cohesive passive safety system in the cabin.

As a part from the Seats and benches group, the airbag is structurally matched to the seat geometry, its upholstery, and wiring harness routing, which facilitates correct positioning and minimizes the risk of mechanical stress after installation.

Technical characteristics and SRS system integration

The seat airbag works with crash sensors and the SRS control module, activating only in specific collision scenarios foreseen by the manufacturer. The design of the pyrotechnic charge and the inflation chamber is optimized for:

• controlled airbag inflation time,
• directing support force in the passenger's hip and torso area,
• limiting the G-forces acting on the body at the moment of impact.

Thanks to the factory design, the airbag maintains compatibility with the original seats used in this vehicle generation, which is crucial for maintaining the predictable operation of the entire safety system.

Component condition and service application

The offered seat airbag comes from dismantling and is classified as a used original part. This type of component is particularly useful in situations where airbags have been deployed in the vehicle or when it is necessary to replace a damaged seat airbag after a collision or upholstery work.

Using an original airbag from the same model group allows for maintaining the structural integrity of the seat, avoiding fitment issues, and reducing the risk of errors in the SRS diagnostic system after installation and adaptation.

Benefits of installing an original seat airbag

Choosing a factory seat airbag for a Mercedes W169/W245 brings a number of practical benefits:

• Perfect fit for the seat – compatibility of shape and mounting points with the seat cushion and backrest structure.
• Consistency with vehicle electronics – designed for cooperation with the original controller and wiring harness.
• Service solution in line with the manufacturer's design – maintaining the factory concept of passenger protection in the right seat.
• Possibility of restoring full functionality of the SRS system after post-accident repairs.
