WARNING

Never modify or repair the seatbelts yourself.

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.

Seatbelt tensioner

The car is fitted with pyrotechnic and electric

seatbelt tensioners that can tension the seat-

belts in critical situations and collisions.

Seatbelt tensioner during collision

All the seatbelts are equipped with a pyrotechnic

seatbelt tensioner.

The pyrotechnic seatbelt tensioner tensions the

seatbelt in the event of a collision with sufficient

force in order to more effectively restrain the

occupant.

Seatbelt tensioner during critical

situations*

The driver and front passenger seatbelts are

equipped with an electric seatbelt tensioner.

The seatbelt tensioners work together and can

be activated together with the driver support sys-

tems City Safety and Rear Collision Warning. In

critical situations, such as panic braking, driving

off the road (e.g. the car rolls into a ditch, lifts off

the ground or hits something in the terrain), skid-

ding, or risk of collision, the seatbelt can be ten-

sioned by the seatbelt tensioner's electric motor.

The electric seatbelt tensioner adjusts the occu-

pant to a better position, reducing the risk of

striking the car's interior and improving the effect

of safety systems, such as the car's airbags.

IMPORTANT

If the passenger airbag is deactivated, the

electric seatbelt tensioner on the passenger

side will also be deactivated.

Resetting the electric seatbelt tensioner

Once the critical situation has passed, the seat-

belt and electric seatbelt tensioner are reset

automatically.

If the belt still remains tensioned:

1. Stop the car at a safe place.

2. Unfasten the seatbelt and then refasten it.

sioner are reset.
