Abstract
A passive seatbelt system is provided of the kind where an occupant of a vehicle can engage a part of the seatbelt webbing with a convenience holder provided on the vehicle to take the seatbelt webbing off the occupant when he gets out of the vehicle. Detectors are provided for sensing when a seat is occupied, when the door is closed, when the seatbelt webbing is withdrawn or engaged in the convenience holder and when the vehicle's speed exceeds a predetermined speed. When these conditions are presented, automatic release means releases the seatbelt webbing from the convenience holder so that the seatbelt webbing automatically surrounds the occupant.
