ABSTRACT:
A passive seat belt arrangement for a vehicle occupant in which a seat belt fitted around a given body portion of the vehicle occupant sitting on a corresponding seat of the vehicle is automatically transferred to a release state of the seat belt from the given body portion of the occupant only when the vehicle occupant behaves to try to get off the vehicle. To detect that the vehicle occupant behaves to try to get off the vehicle, the passive seat belt arrangement is provided with a door handle switch for detecting an operation state of a door handle installed on a vehicle door positionally corresponding to the seat and a door switch for detecting an open state of the vehicle door. The seat belt is thus transferred to the release state only when both door handle switch and door switch detect the corresponding states. Consequently, the vehicle occupant's safety against an accident is increased.
