Seatbelts SSP456 Audi A8 2010
Among others, the following functions are integrated into the

front inertia-reel seatbelts:
• Reversible belt tensioner with control unit
• Pyrotechnic belt tensioner

• Adaptive belt force limiter
Reversible belt tensioners:
Front left belt tensioner control unit J854

Front right belt tensioner control unit J855
The front left and right belt tensioner control units J854 and J855
are integrated into the vehicle network via a CAN Extended bus and
the data bus diagnostic interface J533. The belt tensioner control
units activate the connected electric motors according to the infor-
mation on the data bus.
Three different force levels are available:
1. Low force = belt slack reduction

2. Medium force = partial tensioning
3. High force = full tensioning
For a description of what force level is needed and when it is

needed, refer to page 24 of the chapter on "Audi pre sense".

When the electric motor begins to work, a driving plate is driven by

a toothed gearing. Two hooks deploy, connecting the driving plate
to the seatbelt retractor shaft. The seatbelt is retracted. 456_014

tensioners are ignited first. The inertia-reel seatbelt blocking
mechanism then blocks the seatbelt retractor shaft and thus pre-
vents the seatbelt from unwinding, as it would otherwise do due to
the forward motion of the occupants.
To reduce the load exerted on the occupants by the seatbelt, the

seatbelt retractor shaft and a belt winder allow the seatbelt to
unwind in a controlled way.
The force counteracting the seatbelt is distributed as follows:
1. From the seatbelt reel to the blocking mechanism via the seat-
belt retractor shaft. The seatbelt retractor shaft twists like a
torsion bar.
2. From the seatbelt reel to the blocking mechanism via the 456_030

metal bands are connected to the support ring and to the block-
