General information on seatbelts
Heavy braking can have serious consequen-
ces if the seatbelts are not used. Ensure that
all passengers are using their seatbelts during
the journey.
Tension the hip strap over the lap by pulling the
diagonal shoulder belt up towards the shoulder.
The hip strap must be positioned low down (not
over the abdomen).
It is important that the seatbelt lies against
the body so it can provide maximum protec-
tion. Do not lean the backrest too far back.
The seatbelt is designed to protect in a nor-
mal seating position.
Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fas-
ten their (p. 27) seatbelt by means of an
audio and visual reminder (p. 28).
Remember
•
Do not use clips or anything else that can
prevent the seatbelt from fitting properly.
•
The seatbelt must not be twisted or
caught on anything.
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a
seatbelt is not used or is used incorrectly,
this may diminish the protection provided
by the airbag in the event of a collision.
WARNING
Each seatbelt is designed for only one per-
son.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seatbelts your-
self. Volvo recommends that you contact
an authorised Volvo workshop.
If a seatbelt has been subjected to a major
load, such as in conjunction with a colli-
sion, the entire seatbelt must be replaced.
Some of the protective characteristics of
the seatbelt may have been lost, even if it
appears to be undamaged. In addition,
replace the seatbelt if the belt is worn or
damaged. The new seatbelt must be type-
approved and intended for installation in
the same position as the replaced seatbelt.
