Seat belts
Using seat belts
Seat belts should always be worn by all occupants of your vehicle. Children should be properly restrained, using an
infant, car, or booster seat determined by age, weight and height.
Volvo also believes no child should sit in the front seat of a vehicle.
Most states and provinces make it mandatory for occupants of a vehicle to use seat belts.
Seat belt pretensioners
The outboard seat belts are equipped with pretensioners that reduce slack in the belts. These pretensioners are triggered
in situations where the front or side impact airbags deploy, and in certain impacts from the rear. The front seat belts
also include a tension reducing device which, in the event of a collision, limits the peak forces exerted by the seat belt
on the occupant.
Buckling a seat belt
Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle until a distinct click is heard. The seat belt
retractor is normally "unlocked" and you can move freely, provided that the shoulder belt is not pulled out too far.
The retractor will lock up as follows:
if the belt is pulled out rapidly
during braking and acceleration
if the vehicle is leaning excessively
when driving in turns
When wearing the seat belt remember:
The belt should not be twisted or turned.
