A passive seat belt device having a seat belt with both ends attached to a vehicle body, directly or indirectly with at least one seat belt end connected to a seat belt wind-up retractor. A powered guide member on a track or pivoting arm at the center of the vehicle guides the seat belt in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle between forward and rearward positions for either releasing or loading the seat belt, respectively, for the occupant. A switching circuit is provided in association with the guide member and other vehicle levers, such as the gear shift or hand brake, which functions to stop the movement of the guide member whenever such a lever is in a position to interfere with the forwardly moving path of the guide member.
