Intended Use and Fitment for Mercedes W204 / S204

The presented front left seat belt has been specifically designed for Mercedes C-Class W204 and S204 estate models. Its placement on the driver's side of the vehicle guarantees correct belt routing, proper retractor function, and compatibility with the factory mounting points in the body.

The black upholstery color of the belt allows for an aesthetic integration into the standard interior finish, without the need for modifications to the pillar, seat, or door panels. This ensures the part maintains a cohesive cabin appearance and does not disrupt the vehicle's original character.

Seat Belt Construction and Function

This belt belongs to the seat belts and parts category, meaning it is an integral component of the vehicle's passive protection system. Its construction includes:

• Retractor Mechanism – responsible for smooth belt extension and retraction, and its locking during sudden braking or impact.
• High-Strength Webbing – designed to withstand high loads, ensuring the driver is securely held in the seat.
• Mounting Components – prepared for integration with the factory anchor points in the Mercedes W204 / S204 body.

This configured set allows for maintaining the correct belt routing geometry, which is crucial for effective protection in emergency situations.

Benefits of Using an Original Seat Belt

Choosing an original Mercedes seat belt offers specific technical advantages:

• Factory Fitment – maintains the correct belt length, mounting points, and routing angles without the need for modifications.
• Compatibility with Safety Systems – ensures proper interaction with the airbag and pre-tensioner systems, as intended by the manufacturer.
• Uniform Interior Appearance – the black color allows for an aesthetic match with most upholstery configurations in the Mercedes W204 / S204.
• Stable Behavior During Driving – proper belt routing contributes to maintaining a predictable body position for the driver during maneuvers and braking.

Condition, Installation, and Practical Aspects

This part comes from the used seat belts and parts segment, allowing for an economical replacement of a damaged or worn component while maintaining original specifications. Before installation, a standard inspection of the vehicle's system is recommended, including mounting points and the correct routing of the belt through guides and clips.

Due to its importance for safety, it is advisable to entrust the installation of the seat belt to a workshop experienced with SRS systems in Mercedes vehicles. Proper tightening of bolts, correct belt positioning, and verification of the retractor mechanism's function are key to maintaining the system's full functionality.

Part Selection by OEM Numbers and Technical Support

When selecting components such as seat belts, it is particularly helpful to use OEM and interchangeable part numbers, which minimizes the risk of purchasing an incorrect component. In practice, it is also advisable to use the vehicle's VIN to confirm compatibility with the body version, equipment, and installation side.
