Belt tensioner
The pyrotechnical belt tensioner combines
with the force limiter and the seat belt
recognition device in a single unit. It is only
triggered if the mechanical seat belt fastened
recognition system recognises an unreeled
belt.
Its compact design makes for much easier
replacement.
When an impact occurs, the belt tensioners
reel in the belt and thus take up any slack
(clearance between belt and body).
The mode of operation of the belt tensioner is
very different to that of its predecessors.
There are two belt tensioner variants:
l
A ball-driven belt tensioner, used on the
front seats.
l
Belt tensioners operating according to
the same principle as the Wankel
engine, used on the rear seats.
