Intended Use and Vehicle Placement
The tensioner is designed to operate on the rear right side of the vehicle, working in conjunction with the seat belt for a specific seating position. This precise fit ensures the correct belt path geometry, leading to a stable positioning of the belt relative to the seat and the car body.
This component belongs to the Seat Belts and Parts group, which are sub-assemblies responsible for securing a passenger in their seat during sudden braking or a collision. A correctly chosen tensioner helps to limit unwanted body movements, supporting the function of other passive safety systems.
Technical and Functional Characteristics
The rear right seat belt tensioner is designed to work with the factory mounting points in the vehicle body and the original seat belt intended for this position. The construction is prepared for installation in a dedicated area, which facilitates maintaining the correct operating angle of the mechanism and the appropriate belt tension.
Key features of the product include:
- Dedicated Placement – installation on the rear right side of the vehicle, according to the factory design.
- Compatibility with Seat Belt System – works with the seat belt and mounting points designated for this position.
- Stable Mechanism Operation – construction prepared for operation under normal daily vehicle use conditions.
Brand, Origin, and Condition
The tensioner comes from the BMW offering, meaning it has been manufactured to the stringent standards of the vehicle manufacturer. Such components are designed to ensure appropriate durability and consistent performance over a long period of use.
The product is used, which means it comes from a dismantled vehicle and has been previously operated. For many users, this represents a cost-effective solution, allowing for the replacement of a safety system component while staying within a reasonable budget, and utilizing an original part.
Application and Benefits of Installation
The installation of the rear right seat belt tensioner is particularly important if the existing component has suffered mechanical damage, was involved in a collision, or exhibits operational irregularities. Replacing it with a functional sub-assembly restores:
- correct operation of the seat belt system for the given seating position,
- cohesion of the passive safety system within the vehicle,
- user comfort of the seat belt for the rear right passenger.
By using an original tensioner, the driver gains confidence that the part was designed for a specific body type and mounting system, which simplifies installation and reduces the risk of fitment issues.
