N2  - The Volkswagen Automatic Restraint (VWAR) system is described. The system is composed of a torso belt with a dual sensitive automatic locking retractor, deformable kneebolster, seat and seat belt anchorage. The results of accident simulation tests carried out using a variety of fixed and angled collision barriers are presented. Both frontal and lateral impact tests were performed. The results of 90 accident investigations carried out in the USA are also summarized. Finally, a brief description is provided of an improved system currently under development.<p />
