Seat belts
WARNING!
●
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 accident.
●
Seat belts lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretching and should be replaced
after any collision, even if they appear to be undamaged.
●
Never repair the belt yourself; have this work done by an authorized Volvo service technician only.
●
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 to you 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 child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We
also recommend that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt
properly fastened.
