To lengthen, angle the buckle as shown in the upper illustration and pull the belt through.
To shorten, pull the upper part of the double webbing until snug.
During pregnancy
Pregnant women should always wear seat belts. Remember that the belt should always be positioned in
such a way as to avoid any possible pressure on the abdomen. The lap belt should be located low, as
shown in the above illustration.
WARNING!
Never use any single seat belt for more than one occupant.
Never wear the shoulder portion of the belt under the arm or otherwise out of position. Such use
could, in event of accident, cause injury.
Volvo recommends that all occupants fasten their seat belts.
Aftermarket devices used to induce slack into the shoulder belt portion of Volvo's three-point belt
system will have a detrimental effect on the amount of protection available to you in the event of a
collision
Note: Legislation in your state or province may mandate seat belt usage.
Maintenance
Check periodically that the anchor bolts are secure and that the belts are in good condition. Use water
and a mild detergent for cleaning.
As the seat belts lose much of their strength when stretched, they should be replaced after
collision, even though they may appear to be undamaged.
Never modify or repair the belt on your own. If repair is required, have the work performed by an
authorized Volvo dealer.
