Volvo 1990 240 Model
Pull the release handle (located under the left side of the dash).
Lift the hood slightly, insert a hand under the center line of the hood and depress the safety catch handle.
Open the hood.
Check that the hood locks properly when closing.
A flap in the rear seat makes it possible to carry "long loads" such as skis, etc.
WARNING!
When braking rapidly the load could be displaced and cause injury to occupants. Sharp edges on the
load should be covered for protection. It is essential that the "load" be secured safely. Use belts locked
around the folded down armrest (see illustration).
WARNING!
Do no place heavy objects on the rear window shelf. These objects can become dangerous projectiles
in the event of sudden braking. Always secure large or heavy objects with the seat belts.
An optional, specially designed, storage bag should also be used to avoid soiling or tearing the
upholstery. Please note that the flap in the rear seat is intended only for light loads such as skis, wood
etc.
