Location 

The reversible emergency tensioning retractors are located at the bottom of the respective B-pillar.

Tasks 

The reversible emergency tensioning retractors have the task of tensioning the seat belt of the driver or front passenger seat in certain hazardous situations by actuating an integrated actuator motor. Securing the vehicle occupants in the seat in a more optimal fashion minimizes the consequences of a potentially impending accident. If the seat belt adjustment function is active, the seat belt slack is additionally reduced when the seat belt is fastened.

The tasks are subdivided as follows:

Reading in of signals 

The following signals, among others, are read in via the user interface CAN (CAN HMI):

Evaluation of input factors 

The read-in input factors are evaluated by the integrated microprocessor whereupon the integrated components are actuated and the CAN signals issued.

Transmitting signals 

The reversible emergency tensioning retractors send e.g. the request to display a fault message via the user interface CAN to the instrument cluster (A1).

Technical data Designation Unit Values Tolerance range Comment
Front reversible emergency tensioning retractors        
Voltage supply V 13 - On-board power supply voltage
Voltage limits V 9 - Lower limit value
  V 16 - Upper limit value
Power consumption MA 64 - Readiness (Circuit 15 ON)
  A 40 - When tightening the seat belt for t = 300ms
  A 10 - When tightening the seat belt after t = 300ms
  MA 0, 1 - No-load current during bus idle
Reverse polarity protection - - - The reversible emergency tensioning retractors are equipped with internal reverse-polarity protection.
Special features - - - The reversible emergency tensioning retractors can be activated over the user interface CAN. If one of the two reversible emergency tensioning retractors is connected with the incorrect polarity to the user interface CAN, no fault is shown for the remaining user interface CANs in the vehicle. The reversible emergency tensioning retractors are not activated in the event of any CAN polarity reversal, and they do not display any function as they cannot receive any valid CAN signals.
Flash capability/coding capability - - - Yes/yes
Under voltage threshold for retraction cancellation V 7, 5 - -
