2000 E320 W210 without Curtain Air Bags

I have a 2000 model (built in September 1999). There is no "SRS" button along the ceiling of the car to indicate that curtain air bags are there. The "SRS" is on all doors showing side impact (torso) bags. It is my understanding that curtain head airbags became standard equipment in 1999 models and I have seen some with the SRS in the right place.

Are there any 2000 E320 owners out there that don't have the "SRS" along the ceiling showing the presence of curtain airbags? I am very puzzled by this.

Thanks.

Thanks for the response. I have been looking for months to hear from someone who perhaps knows of a similar W210.

Thanks. What is strange about it is that all of the car websites says that curtain airbags became standard equipment on the 1999 W210 models and that the rear torso bags became standard on the 2000 W210 models. The 1999 models only had the torso bags up front.

My car has the torso bags in front and rear so I know it is a 2000 model. The absence of the curtain bags is what really puzzles me. The 2000 owner's manual shows them.

Maybe someone from Benz will read this post one day and help solve this mystery.
