Vehicle Application and Placement

This part belongs to the specialized group of seatbelts and parts, meaning it is structurally adapted to the manufacturer's safety requirements and the body geometry of this specific Mercedes generation.

Construction, Color, and Interior Integration

The seatbelt is black, which facilitates integration with most factory interior configurations in the Mercedes W176. This color is visually neutral, making it a good match for both dark and lighter upholstery, maintaining a cohesive and understated cabin appearance.

As an original Mercedes part, the seatbelt is designed for precise fitting to factory mounting points. The appropriate geometry of the mounts and belt guides promotes stable driver positioning during driving and in emergency situations.

Safety Function and Technical Aspects

The front left seatbelt plays a crucial role in the driver protection system. A correctly selected and installed component allows for:

• Limiting body movement during sudden braking or collision, which reduces the risk of injury.
• Proper interaction with airbags, ensuring their more effective deployment.
• Maintaining predictable vehicle behavior from a passive safety perspective, in line with the manufacturer's design intentions.

The original nature of this component helps preserve the factory operating parameters of the safety system, without the need for modifications to the installation or mounting points.

Condition, Application, and Benefits of Installation

The seatbelt is offered as a used original part, providing a sensible compromise between cost and maintaining compliance with Mercedes factory specifications. This type of component is particularly useful for:

• Post-accident repairs, when the seatbelt needs replacement after safety systems have deployed.
• Restoring full interior functionality after mechanical or wear-and-tear damage.
• Maintaining the vehicle's original character, without using aftermarket parts with uncertain parameters.

Choosing a seatbelt dedicated to a specific model and side of the vehicle reduces the risk of installation issues and ensures compliance with factory design assumptions.
