Occupant restraint system incorporating rotatable seat back

摘要

An occupant restraint system ( 11 ) for an automotive vehicle ( 10 ) includes a rollover sensor ( 30 ) that generates a rollover signal. A seat ( 12 ) having a seat base ( 16 ) rotatably coupled to a seat back ( 18 ) may be included in the occupant restraint system ( 11 ). A controller ( 26 ) is coupled to the rollover sensor ( 30 ) and seat base ( 16 ). The controller ( 26 ) controls the seat back ( 18 ) to move relative to the seat base in response to the rollover signal. The rollover control module ( 26 ) may also control the operation of an inflatable seat belt ( 36 ) to maintain the occupant's position relative to the seat back ( 18 ).
