Application and Fitment for Renault Trafic 3
This front seat belt has been specifically designed for the Renault Trafic 3, for the driver's side. This means full integration with factory mounting points, appropriate webbing length, and correct positioning of the retractor and buckle relative to the driver's seat and the vehicle's A-pillar.
Thanks to its design that aligns with the manufacturer's solutions, the belt works seamlessly with original interior components such as the seat, plastic covers, and sill trims. This helps maintain the cohesion of the passive safety system and the cabin's aesthetics without requiring modifications.
Construction and Functional Parameters of the Seat Belt
The driver's front seat belt in the Renault Trafic 3 utilizes a proven retractor system with an inertia lock, which reacts to sudden changes in speed and vehicle tilt. This design allows the driver to move freely during normal driving while effectively limiting body movement in the event of emergency braking or a collision.
Key functional features of this component include:
- Stable webbing guidance in the guides and on the retractor rollers, reducing the risk of twisting and jamming.
- Precisely calibrated locking mechanism, ensuring rapid engagement under sudden overload.
- Compatibility with factory anchor points in the front section of the Renault Trafic 3 body.
Its designation as a front-mounted component means it is intended exclusively for the driver's area, with its geometry and mounting method tailored to this specific position.
Condition, Origin, and Benefits of Choosing a Used Part
The offered seat belt is an original Renault part in used condition. Such components typically come from dismantled vehicles where the safety system was not compromised, allowing for the reuse of functional parts while maintaining factory quality.
Choosing a used seat belt offers several practical benefits:
- Cost savings compared to a new part, while retaining original construction.
- Better fitment than many non-original aftermarket alternatives, especially regarding installation and retractor operation.
- Ability to restore full safety system functionality after accident repairs or replacement of worn-out components.
Prior to installation, it is recommended to inspect the condition of the webbing, the retractor mechanism, and the mounting points to ensure the proper functioning of the entire vehicle safety system.
