A seat-belt presenter for a motor vehicle includes a seat-belt capture unit for supplying a seatbelt, a guide device for supplying and retracting the seat-belt capture unit, a pivoting element and a pivoting unit which, together with the pivoting element, form the seat-belt capture unit. The pivoting unit contains a locking device which during the supply operation, locks the pivoting element in its expanded position in such a manner that it does not pivot inward under the dynamic effect of the seatbelt, permits the pivoting element to pivot inward with manual application of force while it is still locked, and automatically unlocks during retraction of the guide device.
