You'll need both the wheel and airbag. Ebay is your friend.

It's very doable, you'll just need to swap the module inside. Last I checked, both will cost over $500. The wheel is probably much cheaper here but I don't think you'll find the airbag easily.

Was surprised to see it, actually.


Most Mercedes coupes still have it. Quite surprising to know that it's been a thing for at least 30 years. Not all, though, just the coupes without a B Pillar. CLK, E Class Coupe, CL, and S Class Coupe.

No B Pillar to put the seat belt in, so it has to be worked into the body and offered by an automated extender.

Pretty nifty.

Images below for those who may not understand. First two are E Class Coupes. No B Pillar. Third is W204 Coupe, which has a B pillar.

Good morning everyone,

Please is Benz A160 a good car to use in Nigeria, considering maintenance and fuel economy.
Thank you.

seriously why do you guys do this all the time. Benz generally is a luxury car even the C class that is a bit economical. You don't mention luxury in same sentence with fuel economy. If you seek fuel economy please go for corolla, yaris or city.

It has good fuel economy. I do not know if it's a good car to use in Nigeria. I see very few of them. However, I suspect the parts will be available in trinity and ladipo.
Chukel, Benz also makes economy cars which the A and B class fall into. They are targeted at people who want the Benz logo but do not want to create holes in their wallet at the filling station.

Lol, the A Class is an economy car. Not a luxury car. Even the latest generation doesn't really qualify as luxury. It's literally MB's cheapest car.

Thank you, it would have made alot of sense if your response comes without Savage.
For your information the car was put in a truck I bought from Germany, since the shipping cost will be saved, so I am contemplating giving it to my wife or sell. Not everyone that ask questions are novice they just need clarification from the experienced.
Have a great day
