Abstract
A passive safety belt arrangement for vehicles has a safety belt with one end connected to a slide by a manually-operable closing device. The slide, which can be displaced by a drive means along a guide held on the vehicle body moves between a release position in which the belt is lifted off the body of a vehicle occupant, and a restraining position in which the belt is applied to the body of the occupant. If the slide becomes stuck at a position remote from the restraining position, the belt can be manually applied by attaching it to a counterpart fastened to a stationary part located in the area of the restraining position.
