Airbags Deployed - Car Won't Start

Hey everyone, just bought my first Mercedes project - a 2014 E350 Wagon. It was involved in an accident in which the steering wheel and driver's knee airbag deployed, and the car currently doesn't start. From what I understand the positive battery terminal deploys and needs to be replaced - which is about $320 at the dealer, and engine start needs to be re-enabled by a diagnostic scanner. Is there anything else I need to do to get the car running? If anyone has ever dealt with blown airbags, advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I know in poking around in Xentry I've seen functions to reset "collision" and required initialization of modules following airbag replacement and/or collision. I imagine, besides any parts needed... you'll need access to an appropriate diagnostic scanner.
