Abstract

A safety belt arrangement for the rear seat unit of a motor vehicle comprises a diagonal upper-torso belt, the upper end of which interacts with a belt retractor which is fastened to a stationary component arranged behind the rear seat unit. In order to provide, for a motor vehicle having a folding top and a rear-side top compartment, a safety belt arrangement for the rear seat unit in which the belt retractor mounted on the upper end of the diagonal upper-torso belt is arranged to ensure a proper operation and can absorb high forces, it is provided that the diagonal upper-torso belt is guided by means of a guiding element over the upper edge of an upright transversely extending front boundary wall of the top compartment and in that the belt retractor is arranged below the guiding element in a recess of the top compartment in a covered manner.
