Seat belts
WARNING
Seat belts should always be worn by all occu-
pants in your vehicle. Children should be
properly restrained using an infant seat,
adjustable child seat or booster cushion as
determined by age, weight and height.
Most states and provinces make it mandatory
for occupants of a vehicle to use seat belts.
Rear Collision Warning* (p. 330)
Do not squeeze box-like cargo between the
rear seat cushion and the front seat back-
rest.
If the rear seat backrests are folded down,
cargo must be secured to prevent it from
sliding forward against the front seat back-
rests in the event of a collision.
Seat belt maintenance
Check periodically that the seat belts are in
good condition. Use water and a mild deter-
gent for cleaning. Check the seat belt mecha-
nism's function as follows: attach the seat belt
and pull rapidly on the strap.
WARNING
If a rear seat backrest is folded down or if a
rear-facing child restraint is being used in
the rear seat, the seat in front must be
moved forward so that it does not come
into contact with the backrest or child
restraint.
Seating position
For WHIPS to provide good protection, the
driver and passenger must be seated correctly
and the system's function must not be impe-
ded in any way.
Set the front seat to the correct seating posi-
tion before starting to drive.
The driver and the front seat passenger should
sit in the center of the seat with their heads as
close as possible to the head restraints.

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.
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 detrimen-
tal effect on the amount of protection
available in the event of a collision.
The seat belt is equipped with a seat belt
retractor that will lock up in the following
situations:
if the belt is pulled out too quickly.
during braking and acceleration.
if the vehicle is leaning excessively.
when driving in turns.
•
•
•
•
•
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 recom-
mend that children who have outgrown
these devices sit in the rear seat with
the seat belt properly fastened.
if the automatic locking retractor/emer-
gency locking retractor (ALR/ELR) is

driver's) is equipped with an ALR func-

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 nor-
mal. 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.

2. Buckle the seat belt by pushing the latch
plate into the receptacle.
3. The height of the seat belts in the front
seats can be adjusted.
> A distinct "click" indicates that the belt
is locked into place.
WARNING
Always insert the seat belt latch plate into
the belt buckle on the correct side. Failure
to do so could cause the seat belts and belt
buckles to malfunction in a collision. There
is a risk of serious injury.
The belt should be positioned closely over the shoul-
der (against the collarbone, not down over the arm).
4. Tighten the lap section of the seat belt
over the hips by pulling the diagonal sec-
tion upward toward the shoulder.
Press the button on the seat belt holder
and move the belt up or down.
Position the belt as high as possible with-
out it chafing against the neck.
The lap section of the seat belt should be positioned
low on the hips (not against the abdomen).

Seat belt tensioners
WARNING
•
•
•
The vehicle is equipped with standard and
electric* seat belt tensioners that can help
tension the seat belt in a critical situation or
collision.
Never use a seat belt for more than one
occupant. Never wear the shoulder portion
of the belt under the arm, behind the back
or otherwise out of position. Such use
could cause injury in the event of an acci-
dent. As seat belts lose much of their
strength when exposed to violent stretch-
ing, they should be replaced after any colli-
sion, even if they appear to be undamaged.
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 occu-
pants.
WARNING
Do not use clips or fasten the belts around
hooks or other parts of the interior. This will
prevent the seat belt from fitting properly.
Electric seat belt tensioners*
The driver's and front passenger's seat belts
are equipped with electric seat belt tensioners.
WARNING
The seat belt tensioners interact and can be
activated in conjunction with the City Safety
and Rear Collision Warning driver support sys-
tems. In critical situations, such as if the vehi-
cle 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 ten-
sioner's electric motor.
Never damage the seat belts and never
insert any foreign objects into the belt
buckle. This may cause the seat belts and
belt buckles to malfunction in a collision.
There is a risk of serious injury.
Unbuckling seat belts
1. Press the red button on the seat belt
receptacle and make sure the seat belt
retracts fully into the retractor slot.
The electric seat belt tensioner helps to posi-
tion the occupant more effectively in the seat,
which reduces the risk of the occupant strik-
ing the interior of the passenger compartment
2. If it does not fully retract, guide the belt
manually into the slot and make sure it
does not hang loose.

and improves the effect of other safety sys-
tems such as the airbags.
Resetting the electric seat belt
Door and seat belt reminders
tensioners*
This system is intended to remind occupants
to buckle their seat belts and to alert the
driver if a door, hood or other opening (trunk,
sunroof, etc.) is open.
The electric seat belt tensioners are designed
to be reset automatically, but if the seat belt
remains taut it can be reset manually.
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe location.
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.

2. Unbuckle the seat belt and then rebuckle
it.
WARNING
> The seat belt and the electric seat belt
tensioner will be reset.
Never attempt to alter or repair the seat
belt on your own. Volvo recommends con-
tacting 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 proper-
ties 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.
