WARNING
Never modify or repair the seatbelts your-
self. Volvo recommends that an authorised
Volvo workshop should be contacted.
If the seatbelt has been subjected to a
major load, such as in conjunction with a
collision, the entire seatbelt must be
replaced. Some of the seatbelt's protective
properties may have been lost even if the
seatbelt does not appear damaged. The
seatbelt must also be replaced if it shows
signs of wear or damage. The new seatbelt
must be type-approved and designed for
installation at the same location as the
replaced seatbelt.

Putting on and taking off seatbelts
Make sure that all passengers have fastened
their seatbelts before starting to drive.
Putting on seatbelts
1. Pull out the seatbelt slowly and make sure
it is not twisted or damaged.
NOTE
The seatbelt is equipped with an inertia
reel that is locked in the following situa-
tions:
•
if the belt is extended too quickly.
•
during braking and acceleration.
•
if the car leans heavily.
•
when driving in bends.
2. Lock the belt by inserting the locking tab
in the intended buckle.
> A loud "click" indicates that the belt has
locked.
WARNING
Always insert the tongue of the seatbelt
into the buckle on the correct side. The
seatbelts and buckles would otherwise
possibly not function as intended in the
event of a collision. There is a risk of seri-
ous injury.
