A97386000029B51 Mercedes-Benz Trucks AIRBAG

Basically, an airbag is a safety system designed to cushion you during a collision. It works with your seatbelts. Sensors detect a sudden stop – a crash – and that sends a signal to inflate the airbag really quickly. It’s not just about the bag itself inflating; there’s a whole system involved, including the impact sensors, and the inflator module which uses a chemical reaction to fill the bag with gas. Some systems have multiple airbags—front, side, curtain—all working together. The airbag is a crucial piece of your car’s overall safety package. It's not meant to replace your seatbelt, it's designed to work with it. Think of your seatbelt as holding you in place, and the airbag as a secondary cushion that spreads out the force of impact. It’s positioned to protect your head and torso in a crash, keeping you from hitting hard surfaces inside the car. It’s a part of the Supplemental Restraint System, or SRS, which is what you’ll often see referred to. Well, it’s about reducing injury, plain and simple. Without airbags, you'd hit the steering wheel, dashboard, or windshield directly in a collision. Airbags significantly reduce the risk of serious head and chest injuries. You’ll notice if one has deployed, obviously, but you really only appreciate how important they are when you think about what could have happened without them. They’re a one – time use thing, so if yours has gone off, it absolutely needs replacing. You can find a good selection, and genuine parts, at places like Fixparts Online if you're looking to do it yourself, or you can have a shop handle it. It’s a critical safety component, so getting the right part and proper installation is really important. Guaranteed quality: Airbag (MPN A97386000029B51) includes a 12-month warranty!
