ABSTRACT:
A vehicle including a seat fitted in the transverse direction of the vehicle for a passenger traveling sideways. A seatbelt (12) is provided and designed for securing the passenger to the seat (11). A restraining structure (15) runs in the transverse direction (10) of the vehicle and which is arranged in front of, and immediately adjacent to, the seat (11). The restraining structure (15) checks or restrains the movement of the passenger's head and upper body in the event of a collision. The seat (11) has a first forward slide safeguard (21) arranged on a seat cushion (16) forming part of the seat close alongside the restraining structure (15). The forward slide safeguard (21) has a sloping section (22) that forms an upwardly inclined ramp in the forwards direction (7) of the vehicle. The forward slide safeguard is designed to check the movement of the passenger's hip in the event of a collision. A second threshold-shaped forward slide safeguard (23) is arranged on the floor (37) of the vehicle for checking movement of the passenger's feet in the event of a collision.
