Purpose and Function in the Vehicle

The offered front right seat belt for Mercedes ML W164 / W251 is a component mounted at the front right side of the vehicle. It ensures stable passenger positioning during driving, braking, and in emergency situations, working in conjunction with other passive safety system components.

Its placement on the vehicle has been designed to maintain the correct belt geometry relative to the seat and the body pillar, which translates to predictable operation of the retractor and locking mechanisms.

Construction, Color Scheme, and Interior Integration

The seat belt is made in a black color, allowing it to blend well with most factory interior configurations of the Mercedes ML W164 and W251. This color scheme facilitates visual consistency when replacing a component on only one side of the vehicle.

The original construction ensures:

• correct mounting point alignment with the body and seat,
• compatibility with factory pretensioners and sensors (if present in the specific vehicle configuration),
• maintenance of factory operating parameters for the retractor mechanism, including tension force and locking characteristics.

Condition, Application, and Benefits of Installation

This part comes from the secondary market, allowing for economical restoration of the seat belt system's functionality while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. This is a particularly beneficial solution in cases of:

• damage to the retractor mechanism after a collision or pretensioner activation,
• wear of the belt webbing (fraying, abrasion, loss of stiffness),
• the need to restore full functionality of the safety system after accident repairs.

Using an original seat belt helps maintain compliance with the vehicle's original design specifications, which is important for both safety and potential technical inspections.

Safety, Compatibility, and Parts Selection

Prior to installation, it is recommended to verify the part's compatibility with the specific vehicle equipment version to ensure proper cooperation with the electronics and airbag systems. A correctly selected seat belt helps maintain:

• predictable vehicle behavior during safety system activation,
• appropriate belt routing relative to the seat and body,
• consistent operation with other safety system components.
