Abstract
A passive restraint system includes a torso belt automatically securing a vehicle occupant by moving from a forward position along a track to a rearward position to secure the occupant. A belt carrier carries one end of the torso belt along the track while the other end of the torso belt is retained on a belt retractor. Inadvertent latching of the retractor latching mechanism during movement of the belt carrier to the rearward position may cause stalling of the belt carrier. A manual retrigger is provided whereby the vehicle occupant may reinitiate the movement of the belt carrier once the latched belt is released.
