ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a seat belt assist handle mounted to a component of a seat belt passenger restraint system. A grab handle on the seat belt assist handle allows occupants to grab a component of the seat belt passenger restraint system to allow the occupant to engage that system without engaging in uncomfortable body movements. The configuration of the present invention also provides a signal to an occupant when the occupant has failed to engage the seat belt passenger restraint system.
