Purpose and Fitment

The presented seat belt has been specifically designed for Mercedes R171 models, intended for installation on the front right side. The construction corresponds to factory mounting points, which facilitates installation and allows for maintaining the original belt routing geometry and the correct operation of the retractor mechanism.

The component complies with the manufacturer's factory specifications, ensuring proper interaction with the vehicle's safety system, including pretensioners and control systems, if provided for in the car's configuration.

Construction and Performance Features

The belt is made in black, allowing for a neutral and aesthetically pleasing integration with most upholstery and dashboards used in the Mercedes R171. The belt webbing has an appropriately selected width and structure, ensuring stable guidance through the guides and comfortable positioning on the driver's or passenger's body.

The retractor mechanism is designed to ensure:

• smooth retraction and extension of the belt during daily use,
• stable tension maintenance while driving, without excessive slack,
• correct response in emergency situations, in accordance with the manufacturer's design specifications.

By retaining the original construction, the belt works with factory height adjustment points (if present in the specific equipment version), allowing for ergonomic adjustment to the user's height.

Characteristics of a Used Item

The seat belt is a used part, offered as a used component. This means it may show signs of normal wear and tear, but it retains the functionality required for further use. This type of component is a good choice for those who want to restore the functionality of the safety system while maintaining reasonable service costs.

When installing a used seat belt, it is recommended that the installation be carried out by a qualified mechanic, following the vehicle manufacturer's procedures. Proper installation is crucial for the safe operation of the seat belt system in critical situations.

Application in Mercedes R171 Service and Repairs

This belt model is particularly suitable for situations where the existing component has suffered mechanical damage, the retractor mechanism is jammed, or it has been deployed as a result of a collision. Using an original belt from the same vehicle series allows for maintaining:

• structural consistency with other safety system components,
• proper interior fit in terms of color and shape,
• compliance with factory mounting points in the body.

This makes it a practical solution for both workshops specializing in the Mercedes brand and for users independently sourcing parts for their vehicle repairs.
