ZF's cutting-edge seat belt system takes occupant protection to new heights. With advanced technology and smart sensors, the networked seat belt proactively adjusts occupants into optimal seating positions before potential collisions. When alerted to a dangerous situation, the belt dynamically shifts the occupant to enhance the restraint system's effectiveness.

The key to this system is the ACR8 electromechanical belt tensioner, a powerful component that reduces belt slack and can even alert the driver through vibrations in the belt webbing.

Working in harmony with the airbag, the seat belt restrains the upper body during a crash and then releases it towards the air cushion to catch the occupant safely. By repositioning occupants beforehand, the system ensures maximum protection during the crucial moments before impact.

Additionally, the ACR8 serves as a haptic signal transmitter, warning or informing the occupant. It can wake up tired drivers or alert them when transitioning from automated to manual driving, ensuring their attention is on the road.

At the core of this advanced protection system, the ACR8 actively controls the belt retraction, generating targeted belt force through an electric motor. Its integration into car seats is seamless, requiring only 60 millimeters of installation depth, making it adaptable to various car models without compromising design.

With ZF's innovative seat belt system, occupant safety takes a giant leap forward, offering additional layers of protection and ensuring a safer driving experience for everyone.
