To Buckle - Volvo 740 GL Owner's Manual

1985 Volvo 740 GL, GLE, Turbo
Two lights will be illuminated for 4-8 seconds after the starting (ignition) key is turned to the driving
position. One light is located in the instrument panel 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 rear outboard seats
are provided with self-retracting inertia-reel belts. The front seats are provided with twin roller belts.

To buckle:

Pull the belt out from both retractors far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle (buckle for
rear seats), until a distinct snapping sound is heard.
The seat belt retractors are normally "unlocked" and you can move freely, provided that the shoulder
belt is not pulled out too far. The retractors will lock up as follows:
if belt is pulled out rapidly
during braking and acceleration
if the vehicle is leaning excessively
when driving in turns.
In order for the seat belt to provide maximum protection in the event of an accident, it must be worn
correctly. When wearing remember:
the belt should not be twisted or turned
