Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Occupant Crash Protection

الملخص

This notice proposes to require Type 2 safety belts either to be integrated with the vehicle seat or to provide a means of adjustability to improve the fit and increase the comfort of the belt for a variety of different sized occupants. NHTSA believes that some occupants who find their safety belts to be uncomfortable, either wear their safety belts incorrectly or do not wear their safety belts. NHTSA believes that improving safety belt fit will encourage the correct use of safety belts and could have the potential to increase the overall safety belt usage rate.
