This ensures a cohesive fit with other interior elements and predictable safety system operation.

Technical Characteristics and Installation

Placement in the front cabin area of the vehicle requires precise installation and adherence to the correct service procedure sequence. During installation, it is particularly important to:

• disconnect the vehicle's power supply before commencing any work on the airbag system,
• use the specified tightening torques for fasteners according to the service documentation,
• verify the correct connection of the electrical harness and airbag system connectors,
• perform SRS system diagnostics after installation is complete.

This approach ensures proper system operating parameters and minimizes the risk of errors in the airbag control unit.

Benefits of Using an Original Passenger Airbag

Using a passenger airbag specifically designed for the Mercedes W204 generation offers a range of practical benefits. The most important include:

• maintaining the factory safety zone geometry on the passenger side,
• consistency with the dashboard structure and the designed airbag cover opening line,
