Application and Vehicle Placement

The presented front left seat belt for Mercedes ML W164 is designed for installation on the front left side of the vehicle, i.e., on the driver's side in left-hand drive versions. The component works with factory mounting points in the body and standard seats, which helps maintain the original belt guidance geometry.

The placement in the vehicle has been designed to:

• ensure correct belt positioning relative to the driver's chest and pelvis,
• maintain predictable behavior of the safety system during sudden braking or collision,
• ensure compatibility with factory pretensioners and mountings used in the specific ML W164 model.

Color Scheme and Interior Matching

The belt is made in black, which corresponds to the standard interior color scheme in many Mercedes ML W164 trim levels. This allows the part to integrate well with the dashboard, door panels, and upholstery, without introducing visual differences between the driver's side and other seating positions.

The black belt webbing is a practical solution because it:

• easily complements most interior configurations,
• minimizes the visibility of typical signs of wear, such as minor dirt,
• maintains a cohesive, factory look of the cabin after replacing the part.

Technical and Functional Characteristics

The original Mercedes seat belt is designed as a passive safety system component, working in conjunction with the seat structure, body pillar, and mounting system. The webbing and retractor mechanism are adapted to the loads encountered in an ML-class SUV, which is important given the vehicle's higher weight.

Key functional features of this component include:

• precise webbing retraction ensuring stable belt tension while driving,
• controlled locking during sudden negative acceleration, which limits the driver's body movement,
• factory fit for the Mercedes ML W164 structure, without the need for mounting modifications.

Condition, Origin, and Benefits of Choosing a Used Part

The offered seat belt is an original Mercedes part in used condition. Choosing such a component allows for consistency with the factory safety system while reducing repair costs compared to purchasing a new part.

The main advantages of using an original, used seat belt include:

• maintaining factory operating parameters of the mechanism,
• reliable fit to the body and seat structure,
• cost-effective price-to-functionality ratio for post-accident or service repairs.

Selecting the Right Seat Belt and Additional Materials

When selecting a seat belt for the Mercedes ML W164, it is crucial to verify compatibility with the specific trim level and year of the vehicle. It is advisable to compare mounting locations, buckle type, and seat configuration to ensure full compatibility with the existing safety system.
