Why can't the seat belt in Mercedes-Benz GLA be pulled out?
2 Answers
The reasons why the seat belt in Mercedes-Benz GLA cannot be pulled out are: 1. Improper use causing deformation of the seat belt, resulting in jamming at the entry and exit points; 2. Mechanical failure at the connection between the seat belt and the vehicle body. Taking the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4427mm, width 1834mm, height 1610mm, with a wheelbase of 2729mm. The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA is equipped with a 1.3T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 136PS, maximum power of 100kW, maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Once when I was driving my friend's Mercedes-Benz GLA, I also encountered a seatbelt jam. I tried several times but couldn't pull it out, and later discovered that a coin had fallen into the buckle slot. The metal spring inside the seatbelt buckle can get jammed by foreign objects, causing it to lock, especially since Mercedes-Benz seatbelts are designed to be very tight. I suggest you try gently wiggling the buckle from side to side or use your phone's flashlight to check the slot for small debris. If the coin is stuck too deep, you can try using a thin wire to hook it out. Whatever you do, don't yank it forcefully—that could damage the buckle base. Now, I always check the seat gaps before getting out of the car to avoid spending unnecessary money on seatbelt repairs.
