1 Side/window Air Bag problem of the 1997 Mercedes Benz 320

Failure Date: 02/19/2010

When turning on the car, notice srs (seat belt restraint system) light on, upon moving forward in slow speed, a loud pop followed by the tightening of the seat beat and then burning smell of smoke filled the cabin. This I assume is how the system should work during an accident but this happened while I was driving and if I had been driving on the freeway or public highways, I could have easily crashed due to the incident.
