An automotive passenger restraint and protection device for an automotive vehicle has a seatbelt which restrains an occupant of the automotive vehicle. The device includes an electric retractor, a power supply, a detector, first and second switches and a controller. The controller is responsive to the detector and controls the second switch to provide power to the electric retractor, controls the first switch to stop the supply of power through the first switch after power is supplied through the second switch, and controls the second switch to stop the supply of power through the second switch after a predetermined amount of time has elapsed after the first switch stops providing power.
