Intended Use and Vehicle Placement

The presented seat belt is designed for installation on the front left side of the cabin, i.e., the driver's position. The design of the retractor mechanism and mounting points is adapted to the body architecture of the Mercedes SLK R171, allowing for the correct belt path relative to the seat, pillar, and airbag.

The placement in the vehicle has been factory-optimized for:

• correct belt routing relative to the driver's shoulder and chest,
• stable anchoring at the body's mounting points,
• compatibility with the vehicle's factory pretensioners and safety systems.

Color Scheme and Interior Integration

The seat belt is black, allowing it to harmoniously blend with most Mercedes SLK R171 interior configurations. The dark belt pairs well with both fabric and leather upholstery, maintaining a cohesive, understated look for the cockpit.

Choosing a black seat belt allows for:

• maintaining a uniform interior aesthetic when replacing only one component,
• easy matching with factory plastics and upholstery in black and graphite shades,
• a neutral, timeless appearance that does not disrupt the original character of the cabin.

Technical Specifications and Compatibility

The seat belt belongs to the Seat belts and parts category, meaning it is designed as a component of the vehicle's passive safety system. The retractor mechanism, lock, and mounting geometry are adapted to the specific structural requirements of the SLK R171 model.

Key technical features of this component include:

• dedicated front left placement, eliminating fitting issues,
• original Mercedes origin, ensuring compliance with factory safety standards,
• maintaining the correct belt length and width for this body model.

This allows the belt to be used as a replacement for a factory-installed part, while maintaining the parameters specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
