Purpose and Function in the Safety System

The rear seat belt buckle with tensioner for the Mercedes W164 model is responsible for the mechanical connection of the belt to the seat structure or body and for the correct operation of the tensioning system in an emergency situation. A correctly chosen buckle is crucial for maintaining the vehicle's original passenger protection parameters and proper cooperation with passive safety systems.

The element has been specifically designed for installation in the rear of the vehicle, which guarantees appropriate belt routing geometry and compatibility with the rear seat structure and body mounting points.

Construction, Color, and Interior Fit

The seat belt buckle with tensioner is made in a black color, allowing it to harmoniously blend with typical upholstery and interior trim of Mercedes SUVs. This color scheme helps maintain a cohesive cabin appearance, especially in vehicles with dark seat and door panel finishes.

The element belongs to the seat belts and parts group, meaning it is designed to meet stringent requirements for durability, resistance to dynamic loads, and stable long-term operational performance.

Condition, Origin, and Benefits of Choosing a Used Part

The offered rear seat belt buckle with tensioner is a used part, originating from the original equipment of a Mercedes vehicle. Choosing such a component allows for maintaining factory-fit compatibility with seat structures and mounting points, while also reducing service costs compared to purchasing a new part.

When selecting used safety system components, it is advisable to consider not only the price but also compatibility with the specific body version and model year.

Installation and Technical Aspects

The buckle is designed for installation in the rear of the vehicle, which facilitates maintaining the correct belt position relative to the passenger's body and ensures proper cooperation with other safety system components. When replacing, it is recommended to pay attention to:

• location compatibility on the vehicle – a part intended for the rear should not be used in other body areas,
• color consistency with other belts and upholstery,
• proper tightening of mounting points according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations.

For vehicles equipped with advanced drive systems and torque transfer systems, it is important to remember that a functional safety system should go hand in hand with a properly maintained drivetrain.
