SAFETY

WARNING
•
Never repair the belt yourself. Repairs
should only be performed by a trained
and qualified Volvo service technician.
•
Any device used to induce slack into the
shoulder belt portion of the three-point
belt system will have a detrimental effect
on the amount of protection available in
the event of a collision.
•
The seat back should not be tilted too far
back. The shoulder belt must be taut in
order to function properly.
•
Do not use any type of child restraint in
the front passenger seat. We recommend
that children who have outgrown these
devices sit in the rear seat with the seat
belt properly fastened.

Buckling and unbuckling seat belts
Make sure that all passengers have buckled
their seat belts before starting to drive.
Buckling seat belts
1. Pull out the belt slowly and make sure it is
not twisted or damaged.
If the seat belt in the second row center
seating position is used, make sure it is prop-
erly positioned in the correct seat belt guide.
NOTE
Each seat belt is equipped with a retractor
that 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) is acti-
vated. Each seat belt (except for the driv-
er's) is equipped with an ALR function,
which is designed to keep the seat belt
taut when installing a child restraint. ALR
is activated when the seat belt is pulled
out as far as possible. If this is done, a
sound from the seat belt retractor will be
audible, which is normal. The seat belt can
now only be fed into the retractor, not
pulled out. This function is automatically
disabled when the seat belt is unbuckled
and fully retracted.
