Abstract

The seats of two-door passenger automobiles are provided with a tiltable backrest and a three-point safety belt. An actuating element for releasing the backrest so it can tilt is designed as a guide element for guiding the end of the safety belt associated with the shoulder of the vehicle occupant into a repository position when it is released by the occupant, which repository position is at a more convenient location than that possible without the guide element.
