2006 450, side air bags?

[42pilot]

Can anyone tell me if a 2006 450 would have side air bags? Our 451 has them & it appears they were an option in Europe for 450s. Thanks

All the 2005,2006 smarts came with the side air bags.

thanks for the reply. It's interesting, the salesman at the Smart dealership didn't know.

Don't blame the poor sales person. Mercedes Benz doesn't seem to be too interested either when the bags prematurely fire when you hit the right kind of pothole.Sales is a tough job and the sales people that sold us our 450 series cars probably don't sell smarts anymore. Our 450 cars didn't make too many people rich.I wouldn't trade mine for a 451.Ian
