Seat Belts, Retractable; To Buckle - Volvo 240 User Manual

1987 Volvo 240

Seat belts, retractable

Always fasten the seat belts before you drive or ride.
Two lights will be illuminated for 4-8 seconds after the starting (ignition) key is turned to driving
position. One light is located in the instrument cluster and one in the console between the front seats.
A chime will sound at the same time if the driver has not fastened his seat belt. The front and rear
outboard seats are provided with self-retracting inertia-reel belts.

To buckle:

Pull the belt out from the retractor far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle (buckle for rear
seats), until a distinct snapping sound is heard. The belt should not be twisted or turned.
To unfasten, depress red push-button in receptacle (buckle) and let the belts rewind into their retractors.
Note: The lap belt should sit low and tight under abdomen.
