- Compatibility with Safety Systems – ensures proper interaction with the airbag and pre-tensioner systems, as intended by the manufacturer.
- Uniform Interior Appearance – the black color allows for an aesthetic match with most upholstery configurations in the Mercedes W204 / S204.
- Stable Behavior During Driving – proper belt routing contributes to maintaining a predictable body position for the driver during maneuvers and braking.
Condition, Installation, and Practical Aspects
This part comes from the used seat belts and parts segment, allowing for an economical replacement of a damaged or worn component while maintaining original specifications. Before installation, a standard inspection of the vehicle's system is recommended, including mounting points and the correct routing of the belt through guides and clips.
Due to its importance for safety, it is advisable to entrust the installation of the seat belt to a workshop experienced with SRS systems in Mercedes vehicles. Proper tightening of bolts, correct belt positioning, and verification of the retractor mechanism's function are key to maintaining the system's full functionality.
