Seat Belt Construction and Function

A seat belt is a passive safety system component that:

• stabilizes the passenger's position during driving and sudden braking,
• works with the seat and body structure to limit body movement,
• ensures predictable operation of the retractor mechanism in daily use.

Original BMW manufacturing promotes the correct operating characteristics of the retractor, lock, and belt webbing, which is important for both the comfort and safety of rear seat passengers.

• Consistency with the vehicle's safety system – maintaining the factory configuration of passive safety components.
• Correct belt path geometry – proper positioning relative to the seat and body, which affects operational effectiveness.

Therefore, replacing a damaged or faulty belt with an original part allows for the restoration of the manufacturer's designed functionality of the rear seat restraint system.
