Buckling And Unbuckling Seat Belts - Volvo V90 CROSS COUNTRY Owner's Manual

SAFETY
||
WARNING
Never repair the belt yourself. Repairs
•
should only be performed by a trained
and qualified Volvo service technician.
Any device used to induce slack into
•
the shoulder belt portion of the three-
point belt system will have a detrimen-
tal effect on the amount of protection
available 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.
Do not use any type of child restraint in
•
the front passenger seat. We recom-
mend that children who have outgrown
these devices sit in the rear seat with
the seat belt properly fastened.

Buckling and unbuckling seat belts

their seat belts before starting to drive.
Buckling seat belts
1. Pull out the belt slowly and make sure it is
not twisted or damaged.
NOTE
The seat belt is equipped with a seat belt
retractor that will lock up in the following
situations:
if the belt is pulled out too quickly.
•
during braking and acceleration.
•
if the vehicle is leaning excessively.
•
when driving in turns.
•
if the automatic locking retractor/emer-
•
gency locking retractor (ALR/ELR) is
activated. Each seat belt (except for the
driver's) is equipped with an ALR func-
tion, which is designed to keep the seat
belt taut when installing a child
restraint. ALR is activated when the seat
belt is pulled out as far as possible. If
this is done, a sound from the seat belt
retractor will be audible, which is nor-
mal. The seat belt can now only be fed
into the retractor, not pulled out. This
function is automatically disabled when
the seat belt is unbuckled and fully
retracted.
