A seat-belt system for a vehicle, automatically restraining and releasing the driver or a passenger in response to the closing and opening of the door, respectively, which system comprises a hip belt with one end thereof connected to a hip-belt anchor fixed near the center side of the seat and the other end wound around a hip-belt retractor fixed to the lower rear of the door through a run-through member slidably guided on the door, a shoulder belt with one end thereof connected to a shoulder-belt anchor slidably guided along a roof rail above the seat and other end wound around a shoulder-belt retractor fixed near the center side of the seat, and a driving mechanism adapted to function on sensing the closing and opening of the door so as to move the run-through member and the shoulder-belt anchor to the restraining and non-restraining position, respectively, whereby the seat-belt system securely holds the driver or the passenger in position when the door is closed and releases him or her from the seat to get on and off the car when the door is opened, with a minimum of offensiveness to the visual and tactual senses.
