Seatbelts
01
Always use a seatbelt
Tensioning the hip strap. The belt must be
positioned low down.
Heavy braking can have serious conse-
quences if the seatbelts are not used. Ensure
that all passengers use their seatbelts.
Putting on a seatbelt:
– Pull the belt out slowly and secure it by
pressing the buckle into the lock. A loud
"click" indicates that the belt has locked.
Releasing the belt
– Press the red lock button and then let the
belt retract. If the belt does not retract
fully, feed it in by hand so that it does not
hang loose.
The belt locks and cannot be withdrawn
• if it is pulled out too quickly
• during braking and acceleration
• if the car leans heavily.
It is important that the belt lies in contact
against the body so it can provide maximum
protection. Do not lean the backrest too far
back. The belt is designed to protect in a nor-
mal seating position.
Keep in mind the following:
• do not use clips or anything else that can
prevent the belt from fitting properly
• ensure the belt is not twisted or caught on
anything
• the hip strap must be positioned low down
(not over the abdomen)
• tension the hip strap over the lap by
pulling the diagonal shoulder belt as
illustrated
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seat-
belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this
may diminish the protection provided by the
airbag in the event of a collision.
WARNING
Each belt is intended for one person only.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the belt yourself.
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop. If
the belt has been subjected to a major load,
such as in a collision, the entire belt must be
replaced. Some of the protective character
-
istics of the belt may have been lost, even if
it appears to be undamaged. In addition, re
-
place the belt if it is worn or damaged. The
new seatbelt must be type-approved and
intended for installation in the same position
as the replaced belt.
WARNING
The rear seat is designed for a maximum of
two passengers.
