  Mercedes-Benz - Air Bag Restraint Systems 
  DESCRIPTION & OPERATION 
  All models are equipped with Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). The main components of SRS are driver-
  side air bag module, passenger-side air bag module, side air bag modules (located in doors), SRS control 
  module, side air bag sensors, SRS warning light, driver knee bolster, passenger knee bolster, and Emergency 
  Tensioning Retractor (ETR) seat belt assembly. Additionally, some vehicles may be equipped with head impact 
  (curtain type) air bags (located around door windows behind door frame trims). 
  Both SRS and ETR are electronically activated by a single control module. There are 2 thresholds which must 
  be exceeded to trigger an ETR action, air bag deployment, or both. If a moderately severe frontal collision 
  occurs exceeding first triggering threshold where protection from safety belt is sufficient, only Emergency 
  Tensioning Retractor (ETR) is activated if safety belt is buck
