Intended Use and Fit for Mercedes W221

The presented seat belt has been specifically designed for the Mercedes S-Class W221 generation. The construction, adapted for the front right mounting position, guarantees correct interaction with factory mountings, the pretensioner, and the guides in the pillar and seat.

By maintaining the original geometry of the retractor and mounting points, installation proceeds predictably for the mechanic, and after installation, the belt operates with appropriate tension and smooth webbing extension.

Construction, Color Scheme, and Ergonomics

The grey color of the belt webbing has been chosen to match the interior finishes typical for the Mercedes W221, allowing for aesthetic integration with upholstery and plastic elements. The uniform color facilitates the replacement of a damaged belt without visual differences compared to other positions in the cabin.

The arrangement of mounting points and the angle of the retractor's operation are optimized for the position of the driver or the front passenger on the right side. This ensures:

• stable webbing guidance across the user's chest and hips,
• comfortable length adjustment when changing the seat position,
• correct operation of the locking mechanism during sudden braking or collision.

Benefits of Using an Original Seat Belt

• compatibility with vehicle safety systems such as pretensioners or sensors, if provided in the specific configuration,
• visual consistency of the interior thanks to the appropriately chosen shade of grey.

For the user, this means maintaining predictable vehicle behavior in emergency situations and reducing the risk of installation problems.

Condition, Verification, and Service Application

This part comes from the secondary market, making it an attractive solution for workshops and users looking for an economical yet original part for the Mercedes W221. This type of component is particularly useful for:

• post-accident repairs,
• replacing a worn or damaged front right belt,
• restoring the full functionality of the passive safety system.

Thanks to its factory construction, the belt can be integrated into the existing safety system without the need for modifications to mountings or interference with the body structure.
