Abstract
A protection device of a motor car includes a seat system which has a seat and a backrest. A seat belt is assigned to the seat. The seat belt has a belt webbing where a person sitting on the seat is restrainable by the belt webbing. A blocking device is switchable between a released state in which the blocking device allows movement of the belt webbing away from the backrest and a locked state in which the blocking device prevents movement of the belt webbing away from the backrest. The protection device is configured to switch the blocking device from the released state into the blocked state and to move the backrest backwards in a motor car longitudinal direction when an accident involving the motor car has been determined and when an actual position, deviating from a target position, of the person sitting on the seat has been determined.
