1993 Volvo 960
WARNING! Never use a 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 cause injury in event of accident. As
the seat belts lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretching, they should be replaced
after any collision, even though they may appear to be undamaged. Never repair the belt on your own;
have this done by an authorized Volvo dealer only.
NOTE:
Legislation in your state or province may mandate seat belt
usage.
pg. 3:4 Volvo SRS
As an enhancement to the three-point seat belt system, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS). The Volvo SRS consists of an airbag (2) and knee bolster (5) on both the
driver's and passenger's sides and seat belt tensioners in both front door pillars (4). The system is
designed to supplement the protection provided by the three-point seat belt system.
The interior of an SRS-equipped Volvo looks very much the same as any other. The only indications of
the system's presence are the "SRS" embossed on the steering wheel pad and above the glove
compartment, the knee bolsters beneath the steering column and the glove compartment and a decal on
the far right side of the dash.
The airbags are folded and located in the center of the steering wheel and above the glove compartment.
They are released only during certain frontal or front-angular collisions, depending on the crash severity,
angle, speed and object impacted. Both air bags and seat belt tensioners will deploy, even if the
passenger seat is not occupied.
