An occupant seat belt presenter is provided to extend or present an unbuckled seat belt restraint or web to the occupant, thereby making it visible and easily accessible for buckling. This seat belt presenter is provided with a powered presenter drive which moves the seat belt web forward or rearward based on signals received from a controller. The controller controls the operation of the seat belt presenter based on such inputs as whether the door is open and whether the seat belt has been buckled. This controller is adapted to be integrated into the seat and to be compatible with other vehicle safety features. The seat belt restraint is allowed to extend and to retract freely through a web guide attached to the presenter drive. This invention also provides that the belt web restraint can be easily removed from the web guide in the event of a system malfunction, thereby providing an override to the controller. |
