ABSTRACT:
A safety system for protecting a driver of a vehicle has a single continuous safety cable designed to retract a steering column and at the same time pull a driver's seat belt when an engine is shoved rearward in a head-on collision of the vehicle. A cable portion for pulling the steering column is connected in series with a cable portion for pulling the seat belt so that the steering column is retracted only when the driver's seat belt is fastened. When the driver's seat belt is fastened, the safety cable system protects the driver by increasing the seat belt tension and retracting the steering column. When the driver's seat belt is not fastened, the safety cable system leaves the steering column at its normal position to absorb impact energy of a secondary collision of the driver against the steering wheel.
