General information
Adjusting the seat belt
Seat belts should always be worn by all occu-
pants of your vehicle. Children should be prop-
erly 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 pretensionersAll seat belts are equipped with pretensioners
that reduce slack in the belts. These preten-
sioners are triggered in situations where the
front or side impact airbags deploy, and in cer-
tain 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.
Fastening a seat belt
Buckling
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.
Adjusting seat belt height (front seat
belts only)
Adjusting seat belt height
The height of the shoulder section of the seat
belt must be correctly adjusted. Press the but-
ton and move the upper seat belt anchor to
position it as high as possible so that the shoul-der section of the belt is across the seat occu-
pant's collarbone and not across the throat.
