WARNING!
Never use a seat belt for more than one occupant. Never wear the shoulder
portion of the belt under the arm, behind the back or otherwise out of position. Such use could cause injury in the event
of an accident. As the seat belts lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretching, they should be replaced
after any collision, even if they appear to be undamaged. Never repair the belt on your own; have this work done by an
authorized Volvo retailer only.
Rear head restraints
The rear head restraints can be adjusted according to the passenger's height. The restraint should be carefully adjusted to
support the occupant's head.
The head restraint can be raised by pulling straight up or lowered by pressing the catch (1) at the base of the left head
restraint support and pushing down.

The SRS system is indicated by the "SRS" embossed on the steering wheel pad and above the glove compartment, and by
decals on both sun visors and on the far right side of the dash.
The airbags are folded and located in the steering wheel hub and above the glove compartment. They are designed to
