Vehicle seat belt anchorage location dependent on seat back recline angle

A seat assembly adapted to be coupled to an interior structure of a vehicle, the seat assembly comprising:

• a seat bottom structure;
• a seat back structure;
• a seat belt attachment point adapted to receive one of a seat belt retention assembly and a seat belt buckle assembly;
• a translation mechanism coupled between the seat back structure and the seat belt attachment point and adapted to translate the seat belt attachment point one or more of forwards and downwards with respect to the interior structure of the vehicle responsive to the seat back structure being reclined;
• and
• a locking mechanism adapted to secure the seat belt attachment point in place when the seat belt attachment point is translated one or more of forwards and downwards with respect to the interior structure of the vehicle.

A non-transitory computer readable medium stored on a computer and executed by a processor to implement the step(s) comprising:

• responsive to a seat back of a vehicle being reclined, actuating a translation mechanism coupled to a seat belt attachment point to translate the seat belt attachment point one or more of forwards and downwards with respect to an interior structure of the vehicle;
• wherein the seat belt attachment point adapted to receive one of a seat belt retention assembly and a seat belt buckle assembly;
• and
• actuating a locking mechanism to secure the seat belt attachment point in place when the seat belt attachment point is translated one or more of forwards and downwards with respect to the interior structure of the vehicle responsive to the seat back of the vehicle being reclined.
