Purpose and Fitment for Mercedes W245

This side airbag is dedicated for installation in the rear of the vehicle, on the left side, in the C-pillar area. Due to its construction being compliant with Mercedes factory solutions, the component works with the original wiring harness and SRS system control modules. Precise fitment to the W245 body facilitates installation and maintains the original passenger protection geometry for the rear seat occupants.

Color Scheme and Interior Integration

The beige finish of the airbag has been selected for use in light-colored Mercedes interiors. Its neutral, subdued shade allows for an aesthetically pleasing integration with upholstery, pillar trims, and decorative moldings. Consistent color scheme minimizes the need for additional modifications and ensures visual continuity of the factory cabin design.

Application in the Side Safety Zone

The C-pillar side airbag is responsible for protecting rear seat passengers in the event of a side impact or vehicle rollover. A correctly selected and installed component:

• supports the SRS system's function in protecting the head and upper torso,
• maintains the manufacturer-designed gas deployment zone,
• ensures predictable performance in conjunction with other airbags and seatbelt pretensioners.

This allows for the restoration of the factory level of protection in the rear cabin after accident repairs or interior component replacement.
