Seat belts, manually adjustable

The center rear seat belt is manually adjustable. It should always be adjusted to the correct length.

To lengthen, angle the buckle as shown in the illustration and pull the belt through.

To shorten, pull the upper part of the double webbing until snug.

Maintenance

Check periodically that the anchor bolts are secure and the belt in good condition.

Use water and a mild detergent for cleaning.

As the seat belts lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretching, they should be

replaced after collision, even though they may appear to be undamaged.

Never modify or repair the belt on your own, but have this done by a Volvo workshop.
