Seat Belt Purpose and Function
The presented seat belt belongs to the seat belts and parts category and is intended for installation in the rear right part of the vehicle. As a component of the passenger protection system, it is responsible for stabilizing the passenger's posture during sudden braking and in collision situations, working in conjunction with the seat structure and body anchor points.
Its placement in the upper rear right part of the vehicle means the belt is tailored to the specific geometry of the pillar and belt path, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of improper positioning relative to the seat.
Construction, Color, and Interior Fit
The black color of the belt is a practical and aesthetic solution – it easily complements most upholstery and interior trim elements used in Mercedes models. This ensures that replacing a damaged belt does not disrupt the visual coherence of the cabin, and the new component does not stand out from other components.
Its original Mercedes origin promotes the maintenance of the factory installation standard, proper belt routing, and correct interaction with the retractor and tensioner mechanisms intended for this location in the vehicle.
Practical Application and Safety Aspects
Replacing the seat belt is recommended in cases of:
- mechanical damage to the belt webbing (fraying, cuts, deformations),
- activation of the pretensioner system after a collision or sudden impact,
- malfunction of the retractor mechanism, e.g., jamming or lack of smooth extension.
Using an original rear right upper seat belt allows for the restoration of the correct functionality of the safety system at the given seating position, which directly impacts passenger protection and vehicle compliance with technical inspection requirements.
Condition, Origin, and Benefits of Choosing a Used Part
The offered item is a used part, sourced from a dismantled Mercedes vehicle. Choosing such a solution allows for maintaining original specifications while optimizing repair costs. For many users, this represents a sensible compromise between quality and budget, especially for components with precisely defined geometry and mounting.
Prior to installation, it is recommended to verify compatibility with the specific vehicle model, including the placement on the vehicle and color, to ensure full functionality and visual consistency of the interior.
