Seat Belt Purpose and Function

The presented rear right seat belt is designed as a component of the passive safety system in Mercedes ML W164 generation models. Its purpose is to securely hold the passenger in place during sudden braking or collision, as well as to cooperate with other vehicle safety systems.

Its placement on the rear right side of the body ensures proper belt routing relative to the seat and mounting points, which is crucial for the correct operation of the retractor and pretensioner mechanisms.

Construction, Color, and Interior Fit

The belt is made in a black color, which facilitates integration with the typical upholstery and interior trim elements used in the Mercedes ML W164. The neutral shade minimizes the visibility of wear and tear and helps maintain a consistent, understated cabin appearance.

The construction is based on solutions used by the Mercedes brand, which translates to:

• proper belt routing relative to the pillar and seat,
• correct geometry of mounting points in the rear right part of the body,
• compatibility with factory upholstery elements and plastic covers.

Benefits of Using an Original Seat Belt

Using an original seat belt in the Mercedes ML W164 allows for maintaining the parameters intended by the vehicle manufacturer. In practice, this means:

• maintaining the factory safety level for the passenger in the rear right seat,
• proper cooperation with vehicle safety systems, such as pretensioners or sensors, if provided in the specific configuration,
• precise mechanical fit to the mounting points in the body, without the need for modifications.

A used original part is a solution that combines factory specifications with a more favorable purchase cost compared to a new part, while maintaining structural compatibility with the vehicle.

Application in Service and Post-Accident Repairs

The rear right seat belt in black is particularly suitable for situations such as:

• post-accident repair, when the existing belt has been deployed or damaged,
• restoring full functionality of the safety system after pretensioner deployment,
• comprehensive interior renovation, when maintaining the original equipment specification is required.

By maintaining the correct placement on the vehicle and compatibility with the body structure, installation proceeds similarly to the factory method, which is important for both specialized service centers and bodywork/mechanical repair workshops.
