Safety
Pregnant women
Pregnant women should be especially careful
when using seat belts! Always remember to
position the belt so that there is no unnecessary
pressure on the womb. The lap belt of the three-
point seat belt should be low.
Seat belts and seat belt
tensioners
All seat belts are equipped with seat belt
tensioners. A small mechanism, built into the
seat belt reel, triggers at the moment of impact
to tension the belt around the body and reduce
slack from clothing, etc. The belt thus restrains
the passenger more quickly.

WARNING!
If the seat belt has been subjected to large
stresses, such as in a collision, the entire seat
belt assembly including reel, mountings,
bolts and lock must be replaced. Even if the
belt appears undamaged, some of the
protective properties may have been lost.
Replace the seat belt if it is worn or
damaged.
1HYHU make any modifications or repairs to
the seat belt yourself. Let an authorised
Volvo workshop perform this work.
