Volvo 1990 780 Model
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 portion of the belt should be
located low, as shown in the above illustration.
NOTE: Legislation in your state or province may mandate seat belt
usage.
pg. 32 Supplemental Restraint System
As an enhancement to the three-point seat belt system, your Volvo 780 is equipped with a Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS). The Volvo SRS consists of a driver's side airbag with a driver's side knee
bolster. 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 the knee bolster beneath
the steering column.
The airbag is folded and located in the center of the steering wheel. It is released only during a frontal or
certain front-angular collision in which the forces sustained by the car are equivalent to an impact into a
rigid barrier of approximately 12 mph (19 kph).
