Seat Belt Application and Function

The presented middle seat belt has been designed for use in the rear of the vehicle, in the central seating position. It is responsible for securely holding the passenger during driving, braking, and in emergency situations, working with the factory mounting points in the body.

Thanks to its construction compliant with manufacturer standards, the belt maintains the correct webbing geometry, which is crucial for the effectiveness of the passive safety system. This is particularly important in family cars where the middle rear seat is frequently used.

Compatibility and Fit for Mercedes C117, X156, W176

The discussed part is intended for Mercedes models from the C117, X156, and W176 series, allowing for trouble-free installation in factory mounting points without the need for modifications. Compatibility with the original body installation and seating arrangement is maintained, which simplifies servicing and reduces replacement time.

In practice, this means that after correct installation, the belt integrates with the existing interior configuration, without disrupting the ergonomics of the rear bench or access to other equipment. For the user, this translates to a consistent cabin appearance and predictable passenger protection system operation.

Characteristics of a Used Part

The seat belt comes from the secondary market, making it a cost-effective choice while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. A used component of this type is often chosen for post-accident repairs, interior renovations, or restoring a car to its factory configuration.

For safety components, it is crucial to maintain structural conformity with the factory design. Choosing an original rear middle belt for a Mercedes minimizes the risk of installation problems, incorrect webbing retraction, or incompatibility with body mounting points.

Why Choose Original Mercedes Seat Belts and Parts

Using original seat belts and parts from this category directly impacts:

• maintaining predictable safety system behavior in emergency situations, according to manufacturer's intentions,
• correct fit to the seat and body structure, without unintended play or stress,
• visual consistency of the interior – the belt webbing, mountings, and covers match the design line of the specific model,
• easier OEM number verification compared to aftermarket parts with inconsistent specifications.
