Vehicle Application and Function

The right-side air curtain is responsible for protecting the heads and upper torsos of passengers during side impacts and rollovers. The component is integrated with the roof structure and pillars, forming a barrier between the interior and the body's crumple zone when activated. This reduces the risk of contact with the side window, pillars, and external vehicle components.

As part of the Dashboard group, this component collaborates with control modules and sensors located in the front of the cabin, which is important for comprehensive interior reconstruction after a collision.

Construction and Safety System Integration

The air curtain is factory-profiled to the body geometry of the Mercedes CLA C118, facilitating its correct routing along the roofline and pillars on the right side. The construction includes:

• a longitudinal airbag tailored to the side window line,
• integrated mounting points to the body structure,
• a connector for the airbag system installation.

This design allows for precise replication of the curtain's factory routing, which is crucial for both proper deployment during a collision and correct fitting of interior trim elements.

Condition, Fitment, and Installation

The offered air curtain is a used part, providing a cost-effective solution while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. Being an original Mercedes part, it retains the correct mounting points and compatibility with the factory airbag system controller.

Its placement on the right side of the vehicle simplifies part selection for selective repairs – installation occurs in existing mounting points, utilizing factory routing and covers. Installation by a specialized service center is recommended, using appropriate airbag system diagnostic procedures.

Benefits of Using an Original Air Curtain

• Safety System Consistency – full compatibility with crash sensors and the airbag controller in the Mercedes CLA C118.
• Replication of factory installation routing – proper guidance along the roof and pillars on the right side.
• Cost savings on accident repairs – a used OEM part helps reduce costs while maintaining the manufacturer's intended design.
• Professional basis for comprehensive interior reconstruction – especially when simultaneously replacing upholstery, headliner, and Dashboard components.

Repair Extension and Additional Information

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the cockpit area and side interior sections of your Mercedes CLA C118, it is advisable to consider simultaneous verification of other safety system components, such as front airbags, seatbelt pretensioners, or control modules, to maintain the overall system's consistent operation.
