The product features a dedicated OEM part number and associated replacement numbers, allowing for precise verification of compatibility with specific body styles and model years.

For ease of identification in inventory systems and service catalogs, an SKU designation is also used, along with its assignment to the Dashboard Components category. These designations enable a quick check to determine if a vehicle's configuration is compatible with the offered part, without requiring intervention in the electrical system or modifications to the mounting points.

Installation and Usage Characteristics

The passenger airbag is designed for installation in the factory mounting points in the front of the vehicle. The arrangement of connectors and the housing design are adapted to the standard dashboard, preserving the original wiring harness routing and eliminating the need for modifications to the cockpit structure.

As a used component, this product offers a cost-effective solution for users seeking functional parts while optimizing repair expenses. Proper selection of the airbag for a specific model ensures:

• correct operation with the SRS control module,
• maintenance of the designed inflation zone relative to the passenger seat,
• seamless integration with the dashboard structure.

Application in the Safety System

The passenger airbag in the CL203 model is a crucial element of the passive safety system, working in conjunction with seatbelts, pretensioners, and collision sensors. Utilizing an original, Mercedes-specific solution helps maintain the system's performance parameters at the level intended by the vehicle manufacturer.

Replacement of the airbag after deployment or during post-collision repairs should be carried out using components of the appropriate specification. By assigning the product to the Dashboard Components category, it becomes easier to select other elements in this area, such as reinforcements, air vents, or covers, ensuring the entire assembly forms a cohesive and correctly functioning system.

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the cockpit area in your Mercedes and require other parts from the same group, such as covers, air vents, or structural reinforcements, check the available parts in the Mercedes Dashboard Components category.
