1989 Volvo 780
One light is located in the instrument panel and one in the console between the front seats.
A chime will sound at the same time if the driver has not fastened his seat belt. The front seats and the
rear outboard seats are provided with self-retracting inertia-reel belts.
To buckle:
Pull the belt out from both retractors far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle (buckle for
rear seats), until a distinct snapping sound is heard.
The seat belt retractors are normally "unlocked" and you can move freely, provided that the shoulder
belt is not pulled out too far.
The retractors will lock up as follows:
●
if belt is pulled out rapidly
●
during braking and acceleration
●
if the vehicle is leaning excessively
●
when driving in turns
In order for the seat belt to provide maximum protection in the event of an accident, it must be worn
correctly. When wearing remember:
●
the belt should not be twisted or turned
●
the lap belt must be positioned low (not pressing against the abdomen). Make sure that the shoulder
belt is rolled up into its retractor and that the shoulder and lap belts are taut.
