Abstract
A vehicle passive seat belt system wherein the opening of either the door adjacent to the driver, or that adjacent to a passenger, or both, automatically moves both seat belt systems from a first restraining position to a second non-restraining position. The energy required is obtained from the closing of the doors, and released to activate the mechanism for moving the seat belts to the second non-restraining position when either or both doors are opened. A flexible tape is used to transfer the energy.
