I've read a few sites online that mentioned all 1999 E classes have side curtain airbags. But some sites stated that the side curtain airbags are not available until model year 2000. Can anyone please confirm whether a 1999 E320 4Matic Wagon has side curtain airbags?

Thanks in advance.

Can't really answer that one, although a 99 ML320 I used to own had door panel airbags, but not side curtain ones...

1999 included side curtains for US issued.

Thanks for your replies. Do you or anyone know whether the Canadian version of a 1999 E Class has side curtain airbags?

Thanks.

Ought to.

Punch the VIN in here for all options a car came with. http://old.mbclub.ru/mb/vin/?lng=eng

Thanks. I've taken a few VINs of 1999 E320s from ebay listings and tried them on the site you suggested - but the site didn't list any information on airbags - didn't even mention front and side airbags.

Are there any other way to confirm the presence of side curtain airbags in 1999 E classes?

Thanks.

Anyone please?

its option 290. If not present it doesnt have it.

I've tried inputting a VIN for an 2002 E320 which definitely has side curtain airbags - but option 290 doesn't show up on that site. I guess that site doesn't show everything?

I own a 1998 E300 Turbodiesel sedan, 1999 E320 4Matic wagon, and 2001 E320 sedan...the 1998 sedan and 1999 wagon have four airbags (dual front airbags and front side airbags). I am aware that 1999 sedans (not wagons) have six airbags (dual front airbags, front side airbags, and side curtain airbags). The 2000+ sedans and wagons have eight airbags (dual front airbags, front and rear side airbags, and side curtain airbags). This information is true for all North American models.
