Use water and a mild detergent for cleaning.
Check seat belt mechanism function as follows:
1 Attach the seat belt. Pull rapidly on the strap.

Check other traffic before performing the following

2 Brake firmly from approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) or turn in a tight circle while pulling on the belt.
In both of the above checks you should not be able to pull the belt out.
WARNING!
Never use a seat belt for more than one occupant.
Never wear the shoulder portion of the belt under the arm or otherwise out of position.
Such use could cause injury in event of accident.
As the seat belts loss 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 dealer only.
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.
NOTE: Legislation in your state or province may mandate seat belt usage.
