Purpose and Function of the Seat Belt Buckle
The presented rear row seat belt buckle has been specifically designed for Mercedes S212 models. Its function is to securely lock the belt buckle and maintain the correct webbing tension during driving and in emergency situations. A properly functioning buckle limits unwanted passenger body movement, supporting the operation of passive safety systems.
Its placement in the rear part of the cabin makes this component crucial for the protection of rear passengers, both in everyday use and during sudden braking.
Original Manufacturing and Fit for Mercedes S212
The buckle comes from the Mercedes brand, which means adherence to factory quality standards, geometry, and compatibility with original seat belts. The original design ensures:
- precise fit to the S212 body mountings, without the need for modifications,
- consistency with the vehicle's original safety system,
- stable belt buckle guidance and repeatable operation of the locking mechanism.
By maintaining the manufacturer's dimensions and standards, installation is predictable, and the buckle works with the existing system without altering the vehicle's structure.
Used Condition and Benefits of Choosing Dismantled Parts
The item is offered in a used condition, allowing for a reasonable purchase cost while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. For many Mercedes owners, choosing such a part is a way to maintain vehicle consistency without resorting to aftermarket replacements of uncertain origin.
A used seat belt buckle is also an environmentally friendly solution for automotive recycling. By choosing a tested component from dismantling, you reduce resource consumption and support the reuse of fully functional parts.

Installation and Technical Aspects of the Rear Belt Buckle
The buckle is designed for installation in the rear interior, at the factory-designated mounting point. Thanks to its design conforming to the manufacturer's project:
- the correct belt routing geometry relative to the seat and body is maintained,
- the latch mechanism works with the original seat belt buckle,
- passenger operation remains intuitive and consistent with the factory solution.
Before installation, it is recommended to verify the correct operation of the latch mechanism and check that the buckle operates smoothly and without sticking. A properly installed component should not generate play or unwanted noises during driving.
Safety, Tuning, and Application in Projects
The Mercedes S212 Rear Seat Belt Buckle can be used both as a service part for standard repairs and in modernization projects where maintaining or restoring full safety system functionality is a priority. When modifying the interior or undertaking light visual tuning, ensuring functional seat belts and buckles is crucial for maintaining compliance with safety requirements.
