Operating the Safety Belt
To fasten the safety belt, pull the belt out
from the retractor and insert the latch into
the buckle. Verify proper lock of the latch
by pulling on the latch.
Adjust the slack by pulling on the top part
of the belt until the lower part, or the part
that crosses the lap, is snugly adjusted. Re-
lease the top part and let the retractor pull
the belt in.
The lap portion of the safety belt should be
worn low across the pelvic region (hip
bone) and adjusted snugly. Never adjust the
lap belt across the abdomen. A push button
on the buckle is used to release the safety
belt latch by pushing in the button release
on the buckle.

The buckle portion of the safety belt sys-
tem is different depending on the seat
option chosen. The National Standard and
Comfort seat has a separate buckle that is
attached to a floor anchor by a seat strap.
This seat strap is not adjustable, and does
not need to be adjusted.
The buckle for the Volvo seat is part of the
seat frame.

If a comfort clip is used on the safety belt,
always adjust the latch so that there is a
maximum of 1 in. (25 mm) slack between
the belt and chest (about the width of two
fingers). If a larger slack is allowed, the ef-
fectiveness of the safety belt is decreased in
the event of a collision. Operation of the
clip is described on page 54.
Make sure the safety belt is completely re-
tracted and out of the way when not in use.
