Second Hand Mercedes-Benz EQS Curtain Airbag

Yes, the EQS is fitted with curtain airbags (also called side curtain or head airbags) as standard across the range — this is a full-size luxury electric saloon and curtain airbag protection is fitted to all variants. Because the EQS is only available as a single body style (a four-door saloon-style fastback) and was only launched in 2021, generation and body style variation is straightforward. Always confirm the exact airbag module reference against your registration with the breaker, as airbag SRS system compatibility can vary.

The EQS (V297 generation) launched in 2021 and covers the current production run through to the time of writing, with no fundamental generation change in that period — so a curtain airbag from a 2022 car is broadly from the same generation as a 2024 car. That said, Mercedes has made rolling specification updates across model years, and airbag module compatibility with your specific SRS control unit is something you must confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying. Curtain airbags are safety-critical single-use components, so professional fitting by a qualified technician is strongly recommended.

For the curtain airbag itself, trim level (whether AMG Line, Business Class rear seating, or other option packs) does not change which curtain airbag is fitted, as these run along the roofline and are consistent across the body. What can differ by trim is the surrounding interior — headlining material and fixing points may vary — so it is worth mentioning your trim level to the breaker so they can supply a unit from a matching interior specification. Always confirm the part reference with the breaker against your registration.

Yes, this matters — curtain airbags are handed, meaning the nearside (NS, left/passenger side) and offside (OS, right/driver side) are different parts and are not interchangeable. When contacting a breaker, make clear which side you need, as supplying the wrong side is a common mistake with this part. Because curtain airbags are safety-critical, always have the replacement fitted by a qualified professional.

Curtain airbags are safety-critical components and working on SRS (supplemental restraint) systems carries a serious risk of accidental deployment or incorrect installation, which could cause injury or mean the airbag fails to protect in a collision. Professional fitting by a qualified technician with the appropriate diagnostic equipment to reset the SRS system is strongly recommended. Used curtain airbags are legitimate replacements — breakers supply them regularly — but the fitting itself is not a DIY job.

The engine or motor output variant does not affect curtain airbag fitment — these are interior safety components matched to the body and generation, not the drivetrain. All EQS variants share the same V297 platform and body, so the curtain airbag from a 450 is from the same generation as one from a 580 or 53 AMG. You should still confirm airbag module compatibility with your specific SRS system with the breaker against your registration, and ensure the side (NS or OS) matches what you need.
