Seat belt tensioners
The vehicle is equipped with standard and elec-
tric seat belt tensioners that can help tension the
seat belt in a critical situation or collision.
Standard seat belt tensioners
All seat belts are equipped with a standard seat
belt tensioner.
In a collision of sufficiently violent force, the seat
belt tensioners will tension the seat belts in order
to more effectively restrain the occupants.
Electric seat belt tensioners
The driver's and front passenger's seat belts are
equipped with electric seat belt tensioners.
The seat belt tensioners interact and can be acti-
vated in conjunction with the City Safety and
Rear Collision Warning driver support systems. In
critical situations, such as if the vehicle brakes
suddenly, begins to skid or runs off the road (e.g
if the vehicle rolls into a ditch, lifts off the ground
or hits an obstacle in the road), or if there is a risk
of collision, the seat belts can be pulled taut by
the seat belt tensioner's electric motor.
The electric seat belt tensioner helps to position
the occupant more effectively in the seat, which
reduces the risk of the occupant striking the inte-
rior of the passenger compartment and improves
the effect of other safety systems such as the
airbags.
When a critical situation has passed, the seat belt
and the electric seat belt tensioner are reset
automatically. However, they can also be reset
manually.
WARNING
Never attempt to alter or repair the seat belt
on your own. Volvo recommends contacting
an authorized Volvo workshop.
If the seat belt has been exposed to extreme
forces, e.g. in conjunction with a collision, the
entire seat belt must be replaced. Even if the
seat belt appears undamaged, some of its
protective properties may have been lost. Also
replace the seat belt if it is worn or damaged.
The new seat belt must be type approved and
intended for the same seating position as the
replaced seat belt.
