Using seat belts
G020104
Adjusting the seat beltVolvo, the inventor of the three-point seat belt, urges you and all occupants of yourvehicle to wear seat belts and ensure thatchildren are properly restrained, using aninfant, car, or booster seat determined byage, 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 pretensionersThe seat belts are equipped with pretension-ers that reduce slack in the belts. These pre- tensioners are triggered in situations wherethe airbags deploy. The front seat belts alsoinclude a tension reducing device which, inthe event of a collision, limits the peak forcesexerted by the seat belt on the occupant.
Buckling a seat beltPull the belt out far enough to insert the latchplate into the receptacle until a distinct clickis heard. The seat belt retractor is normally"unlocked" and you can move freely, provi-ded that the shoulder belt is not pulled outtoo far. The seat belt retractor will lock up in the following situations:
• if the belt is pulled out rapidly
• during braking and acceleration
• if the vehicle is leaning excessively
• when driving in turns
• if the Automatic Locking Retractor/Emer- gency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR) isactivated
NOTE
Each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with the ALR/ELR function,which is designed to help keep the seatbelt taut. ALR/ELR activates if the seat beltis pulled out as far as possible. If this isdone, a sound from the seat belt retractorwill be audible, which is normal, and theseat belt will be pulled taut and locked inplace. This function is automatically disa-bled when the seat belt is unbuckled andfully retracted.
See also page 39 for information about using a seat belt's ALR/ELR function toanchor a child seat.
When wearing the seat belt remember:
• The belt should not be twisted or turned.
• The lap section of the belt must be posi- tioned low on the hips (not pressingagainst the abdomen).
• Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolledup into its retractor and that the shoulderand lap belts are taut.
Unbuckling the seat beltTo remove the seat belt, press the red section on the seat belt receptacle. Before exiting thevehicle, check that the seat belt retracts fullyafter being unbuckled. If necessary, guide thebelt back into the retractor slot.

ModificationsIf you are considering modifying your vehiclein any way to accommodate a disability, forexample by altering or adapting the driver'sor front passenger's seat(s) and/or airbagsystems, please contact Volvo at: In the USA Volvo Cars of North America, LLC Customer Care Center1 Volvo DriveP.O.

WARNING
• No objects that add to the total weight on the seat should be placed on thefront passenger's seat. If a child isseated in the front passenger's seatwith any additional weight, this extraweight could cause the OWS systemto enable the airbag, which mightcause it to deploy in the event of a col-lision, thereby injuring the child.
• The seat belt should never be wrappedaround an object on the front pas-senger's seat. This could interfere withthe OWS system's function.
• The front passenger's seat belt shouldnever be used in a way that exertsmore pressure on the passenger thannormal. This could increase the pres-sure exerted on the weight sensor by achild, and could result in the airbagbeing enabled, which might cause it todeploy in the event of a collision,thereby injuring the child.
WARNING
Keep the following points in mind with respect to the OWS system. Failure to fol-low these instructions could adverselyaffect the system's function and result inserious injury to the occupant of the frontpassenger's seat:
• The full weight of the front seat pas- senger should always be on the seatcushion. The passenger should neverlift him/herself off the seat cushionusing the armrest in the door or thecenter console, by pressing the feet onthe floor, by sitting on the edge of theseat cushion, or by pressing againstthe backrest in a way that reducespressure on the seat cushion. Thiscould cause OWS to disable the frontpassenger's side airbag.
• Do not place any type of object on thefront passenger's seat in such a waythat jamming, pressing, or squeezingoccurs between the object and thefront seat, other than as a direct resultof the correct use of the AutomaticLocking Retractor/Emergency LockingRetractor (ALR/ELR) seat belt (seepage 39).
• No objects should be placed under thefront passenger's seat. This could

WARNING
•Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in thefront passenger's seat. We also rec-ommend that children under 4 feet7 inches (140 cm) in height who haveoutgrown these devices sit in the rearseat with the seat belt fastened.
• On hot days, the temperature in thevehicle interior can rise very quickly.Exposure to these high temperaturesfor even a short period of time cancause heat-related injury or death.Small children are particularly at risk.
Child seat should always be registered. See page 40 for more information.
Automatic Locking Retractor/ Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR)
To make child seat installation easier, each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equip-ped with a locking mechanism to help keepthe seat belt taut.
When attaching the seat belt to a child seat:
1. Attach the seat belt to the child seat
according to the child seat manufactur- er's instructions.
2. Pull the seat belt out as far as possible.
3. Insert the seat belt latch plate into the buckle (lock) in the usual way.
4. Release the seat belt and pull it taut around the child seat.
A sound from the seat belt retractor will be audible at this time and is normal. The beltwill now be locked in place. This function isautomatically disabled when the seat belt isunlocked and the belt is fully retracted.
WARNING
Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the frontpassenger's seat. We also recommendthat children who have outgrown thesedevices sit in the rear seat with the seatbelt properly fastened.
Volvo's recommendations
Why does Volvo believe that no child should sit in the front seat of a car? It's quite simplereally. A front airbag is a very powerful devicedesigned, by law, to help protect an adult. Because of the size of the airbag and its speed of inflation, a child should never beplaced in the front seat, even if he or she isproperly belted or strapped into a child safetyseat. Volvo has been an innovator in safetyfor over seventy-five years, and we'll continueto do our part. But we need your help. Pleaseremember to put your children in the backseat, and buckle them up.
Volvo has some very specific recommendations:
• Always wear your seat belt.
• Airbags are a SUPPLEMENTAL safety device which, when used with a three-point seat belt can help reduce seriousinjuries during certain types of accidents.Volvo recommends that you do not dis-connect the airbag system in your vehi-cle.
• Volvo strongly recommends that every-one in the vehicle be properly restrained.
• Volvo recommends that ALL occupants(adults and children) shorter than 4 feet7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the back

Integrated booster cushion*
G031071
Volvo's own integrated booster cushion has been specially designed to help safeguard achild seated in the rear seat. When using anintegrated booster cushion, the child must besecured with the vehicle's three-point seatbelt. Use this booster cushion only with children who weigh between 33 and 80 lbs (15 and36 kg) and whose height is between 38 and54 in (97 and 137 cm). In Canada, TransportCanada's weight recommendation is 40 – 80 lbs (18 – 36 kg). The booster cushion is designed to raise the child higher, so that the shoulder strap crosses over the child's collarbone, not overthe child's neck. If using a booster cushiondoes not result in proper positioning of theshoulder strap, then the child should beplaced in a properly secured child restraint(see page 38 for information). The shoulderbelt must never be placed behind the child'sback or under the arm.
WARNING
•
Death or serious injury can
occur.
• Follow all instructions on the booster cushion and in the vehicle's owner'smanual.
• Make sure the booster cush- ion is securely locked beforethe child is seated.
• Use this booster cushion only with children who weigh between 33 and80 lbs (15 and 36 kg) and whoseheight is between 38 and 54 in (97 and137 cm). In Canada, Transport Cana-da's weight recommendation is 40 – 80 lbs (18 - 36 kg).
• In the event of a collision while theintegrated booster cushion was occu-pied, the entire booster cushion andseat belt must be replaced. Thebooster cushion should also bereplaced if it is badly worn or damagedin any way. This work should be per-formed by an authorized Volvo retaileronly.
