The safety arrangement for a motor vehicle incorporates primary restraint arrangement having a three-point seat-belt ( 3 ) and optionally one or more air-bags ( 19,22 ). A secondary restraint system is provided in the form of a two-point seat-belt ( 13 ). A sensor senses when the two-point seat-belt ( 13 ) is in use and provides a signal to a control unit ( 17 ) which adjusts the restraining effect provided by the primary restraint arrangement so that the overall restraining effect is the same regardless of whether the two-point seat-belt is, or is not, used. The use of the two-point seat-belt ( 13 ) provides enhanced occupant protection especially in a side-impact or rollover situation.
