Intended Use and Fitment for Mercedes W176 / C117
The Front Right Seat Belt for Mercedes W176 C117 has been specifically designed with the factory body architecture of these models in mind. The mounting structure and retractor geometry are adapted to the standard mounting points, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of incorrect belt positioning.
This component is intended for use on the front right side of the vehicle, ensuring the correct performance characteristics of the pretensioner and retractor in emergency situations. This precise fit contributes to maintaining consistency with the passive safety systems used in the specific Mercedes model.
Construction, Color, and Interior Integration
The seat belt is made in a black color, allowing for a neutral and aesthetically pleasing integration into most interior configurations used in Mercedes A-Class and CLA models. The dark belt harmonizes well with both fabric and leather upholstery, maintaining a cohesive, understated look in the cabin.
The solution includes the typical construction for this category, featuring a safety belt webbing, a retractor, and mounting elements adapted for use in the front of the vehicle. This ensures proper belt routing relative to the seat and pillar, contributing to the stable positioning of the occupant during sudden braking or collisions.
Safety and Functionality in Daily Use
A functional front right seat belt is crucial for the passenger protection system's operation. A correctly chosen component from the same category as the original allows for:
- maintaining predictable safety system behavior in emergency situations, in line with the vehicle's design specifications,
- proper belt routing relative to the seat and anchor points, which reduces the risk of the belt slipping off the chest,
- comfortable everyday use thanks to appropriate retraction force and ease of operation.
A used component from this category is a sensible choice for post-accident repairs or replacing a worn-out seat belt, allowing for the preservation of functionality at controlled service costs.
