Active - it does something all by itself (seat belts that close over you).
Passive - it waits for you to use it (regular seat belts)

The belts in the '83 need to be bucked by hand, so I class them as passive.
My Mazda (yuck) has 'active' belts for the shoulder, that close
automatically when you close the door.

If I am wrong, someone will surely let me know!
