Intended Use and Fitment for Mercedes W221
The presented front right seat belt has been specifically designed for the body structure of the Mercedes S-Class W221 generation. Its placement on the vehicle is the front passenger side, ensuring proper belt routing, correct interaction with the pretensioner, and appropriate positioning of the mounting points relative to the seat and pillar.
The black finish allows for discreet integration into the upholstery and dashboard without disrupting the factory character of the interior. This makes the belt suitable for both standard replacement of a damaged part and for restoring the car to a condition that meets technical inspection requirements.
Construction and Technical Properties of the Seat Belt
The belt belongs to the specialized category of seat belts and parts, meaning it has been constructed to meet stringent passive safety requirements. The belt material, with its appropriate flexibility and strength, works in conjunction with the retractor mechanism and locking system to limit passenger body movement in an emergency situation.

The seat belt is offered in used condition, allowing for an economical replacement of a damaged or deployed component in the vehicle while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs when multiple safety system components need to be replaced simultaneously.

For installation, it is recommended to use the services of a specialized workshop that will ensure the correct tightening of mounting points, proper belt routing, and verification of its interaction with the vehicle's electronics. This will ensure the safety system operates as intended by the manufacturer.
