It is important that the seatbelt lies against the body so it can provide maximum protection. Do not lean the backrest too far back. The seatbelt is designed to protect in a normal seating position.
Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fasten their seatbelt by means of an audio and visual reminder.
Remember
- Do not use clips or anything else that can prevent the seatbelt from fitting properly.
- The seatbelt must not be twisted or caught on anything.
- The hip strap must be positioned low down (not over the abdomen).
- Tension the hip strap over the lap by pulling the diagonal shoulder belt up towards the shoulder.

Warning
Never modify or repair the seatbelts yourself. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
If a seatbelt has been subjected to a major load, such as in conjunction with a collision, the entire seatbelt must be replaced. Some of the protective characteristics of the seatbelt may have been lost, even if it appears to be undamaged. In addition, replace the seatbelt if the belt is worn or damaged. The new seatbelt must be type-approved and intended for installation in the same position as the replaced seatbelt.
