Putting On And Taking Off Seatbelts - Volvo V60 TWIN ENGINE 2018 Owner's Manual

SAFETY
||
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seatbelts yourself.
Volvo recommends that an authorised Volvo
workshop should be contacted.
If the seatbelt has been subjected to a major
load, such as in conjunction with a collision,
the entire seatbelt must be replaced. Some of
the seatbelt's protective properties may have
been lost even if the seatbelt does not appear
damaged. The seatbelt must also be replaced
if it shows signs of wear or damage. The new
seatbelt must be type-approved and designed
for installation at the same location as the
replaced seatbelt.

Putting on and taking off seatbelts

Make sure that all passengers have fastened
their seatbelts before starting to drive.
Putting on seatbelts
1. Pull out the seatbelt slowly and make sure it
is not twisted or damaged.
NOTE
The seatbelt is equipped with an inertia reel
that is locked in the following situations:
if the belt is extended too quickly.
•
during braking and acceleration.
•
if the car leans heavily.
•
when driving in bends.
•
2. Lock the belt by inserting the locking tab in
the intended buckle.
> A loud "click" indicates that the belt has
locked.
WARNING
Always insert the tongue of the seatbelt into
the buckle on the correct side. The seatbelts
and buckles would otherwise possibly not
function as intended in the event of a colli-
sion. There is a risk of serous injury.
3. In the front seats the seatbelt can be
adjusted for height.
Press together the seat mounting and move
the seatbelt up or down.
Position the belt as high as possible without
it chafing against your throat.
