Purpose and function in the vehicle

Its task is to work in conjunction with the vehicle's airbag system and activate in the event of specific side impacts to reduce the impact consequences for front-seat occupants. The component is prepared for installation on both the left and right sides in the front area of the vehicle, which facilitates fitting to a specific car configuration.

By using a solution provided by the manufacturer, consistency with the factory safety system architecture is maintained, and installation is based on existing mounting points within the door structure.

Construction and integration with the door

The door airbag works with the door structure and bodywork elements, forming a functional protective module within the side part of the body. The shape and mounting method are adapted to the geometry of the doors in the Mercedes ML W163, which allows for precise fitting with the paneling and internal structural elements.

This solution is designed as part of a system dedicated to a specific vehicle generation, ensuring proper cooperation with sensors and the safety system control unit. In practice, this means the ability to restore the original functionality after bodywork repairs or replacement of damaged doors.

Scope of application – front, left and right side
