During Pregnancy - Volvo 850 User Manual

1994 Volvo 850
WARNING! 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.
pg. 3:3 Seat belts

During pregnancy

Pregnant women should always wear seat belts. Remember that the belt should always be positioned in
such a way as to avoid any possible pressure on the abdomen. The lap portion of the belt should be
located low, as shown in the above illustration.
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 event
of accident. As the seat belts lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretching, they
should be replaced after any collision, even though they may appear to be undamaged. Never repair
the belt on your own; have this done by an authorized Volvo retailer only.
