The seat belt should always be worn during pregnancy. But it is crucial \
that it be worn in the correct way.
The diagonal section should wrap over the shoulder then be routed betwee\
n the breasts and to the side of
the belly. The lap section should lay flat over the thighs and as low as\
possible under the belly. It must
never be allowed to ride upward. Remove all slack from the belt and insu\
re that it fits close to the body
without any twists.
As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers should adjust their seats an\
d steering wheel such that they
can easily maintain control of the vehicle as they drive (which means t\
hey
16 01 Safety
Seat belts
must be able to easily operate the foot pedals and steering wheel). Wit\
hin this context, they should strive
to position the seat with as large a distance as possible between their \
belly and the steering wheel.
Child seats
Please refer to
page 33 for information on securing child seats with the seat belts.

generators, causing the airbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas.
As the movement of the seats' occupants compresses the airbags, some of \
the gas is expelled at a
controlled rate to provide better cushioning. Both seat belt tensioners \
also deploy, minimizing seat belt
slack. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airb\
ags, takes approximately one fifth of
a second.
The location of the front airbags is indicated by "SRS AIRBAG" embossed \
on the steering wheel pad and
above the glove compartment, and by decals on both sun visors and on the\
front and far right side of the
dash.
l The driver's side front airbag is folded and located in the steering whe\
el hub.
l The passenger's side front airbag is folded behind a panel located above\
the glove compartment.
WARNING
l The airbags in the vehicle are designed to be a SUPPLEMENT to - not a re\
placement for - the three-
point seat belts. For maximum protection, wear seat belts at all times. \
Be aware that no system can
prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.
l Never drive a vehicle with a steering wheel-mounted airbag with your han\
ds on the steering wheel
pad/airbag housing.
l The front airbags are designed to help prevent serious injury. Deploymen\
t occurs very quickly and
with considerable force. During normal deployment and depending on varia\
bles such as seating
position, one may experience abrasions, bruises, swellings, or other inj\
uries as a result from deployment
of one or both of the airbags.
l When installing any accessory equipment, make sure that the front airbag\
system is not damaged.
Any interference in the system could cause malfunction.

WARNING
l No objects or accessory equipment, e.g. dashboard covers, may be placed \
on, attached to, or installed
near the air bag hatch (the area above the glove compartment) or the a\
rea affected by airbag deployment
(see the illustration on
page 18).
l There should be no loose articles, e.g. coffee cups, on the floor, seat,\
or dashboard area.
l Never try to open the airbag cover on the steering wheel or the passenge\
r's side dashboard. This
should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.\

l Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle\
occupants.
