Intended Use and Fitment for Mercedes W169 / W245
The presented front left seat belt has been specifically designed for Mercedes vehicles from the W169 and W245 series. The vehicle placement specified as front, left side allows for unambiguous identification of the installation position, which simplifies the selection of the correct component for accident repairs or replacement of worn parts.
Original origin from the Mercedes brand means maintaining factory operating parameters, mounting geometry, and compatibility with the pretensioners and sensors of passive safety systems used in the given model.
Construction and Technical Properties
The belt is finished in black, which corresponds to the standard interior color scheme of most W169 and W245 models. The belt webbing, guides, and retraction mechanism have been designed to ensure:
- stable webbing guidance throughout its full extension and retraction range,
- proper operation of the emergency lock during sudden braking or impact,
- appropriate fit to the driver's seat and body mounting points.
Installation on the vehicle as a front, left element allows for maintaining the correct belt path geometry relative to the pillar, seat, and buckle, which is important for ergonomics and protection effectiveness.
Condition, Application, and Benefits of Installation
The part is offered as a used seat belt, which is a sensible choice for vehicle repairs where the replacement of a single component is necessary after system activation or mechanical damage. A correctly selected, original belt allows you to:
- restore full functionality of the safety system after a collision or malfunction,
- maintain compliance with the factory specification of the Mercedes vehicle,
- reduce service costs compared to purchasing a new part while maintaining an appropriate level of quality.
By using a component from the same category as the factory original, the risk of installation problems and the need for modifications to mountings or associated systems is minimized.
