  • Page 8 Seat belts Not wearing a seat belt is like believing "It'll never happen to me!" Volvo, the inventor of the three- point seat belt, urges you and all occupants of your car to wear seat belts and ensure that children are properly restrained, using an infant, car or booster seat determined by age, weight and height.
  • Page 9 2001 Volvo S60 To buckle a seat belt: Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle until a distinct click is heard. The seat belt retractor is normally "unlocked" and you can move freely, provided that the shoulder belt is not pulled out too far.
  • Page 10 Never repair the belt on your own; have this work done by an authorized Volvo retailer only. Any device used to induce slack into the shoulder belt portion of the three-point belt system will have a detrimental effect on the amount of protection available to you in the event of a collision.

    12 Airbags (Supplemental Restraint System) Driver's side airbag As an enhancement to the three-point seat belt system, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) to complement the three-point seat belt system. The inflatable airbag is installed folded up in the center of the steering wheel. The wheel is embossed with SRS.
  • Page 12 When installing any optional equipment, make sure that the SRS system is not damaged. Do not attempt to service any component of the SRS yourself. Attempting to do so may result in serious personal injury. If a problem arises, take your car to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for inspection as soon as possible.
  • Page 13 NOTE: Volvo's dual- threshold, dual- stage airbags use special sensors that are integrated with the front seat buckles. The point at which the airbag deploys is determined by whether or not the seat belt is being used, as well as the severity of the collision.
  • Page 14 14 Airbags (Supplemental Restraint System) WARNING! Children must never be allowed in the front passenger's seat. Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seat of any vehicle with a front passenger-side airbag.

  • Page 29 NOTE: Please also refer to the instructions on the integrated booster cushion.

Installing the top tether The straps for the child seat should be placed between the head restraint and the backrest. This may make it necessary to temporarily fold down the backrest when attaching the straps to the anchorages.
  • Page 30 Because of the size of the airbag and its speed of inflation, a child should never be placed in the front seat, even if he or she is properly belted or strapped into a child safety seat. Volvo has been an innovator in safety for over fifty years, and we'll continue to do our part.
  • Page 31 Volvo Concern for Safety Safety is the cornerstone for Volvo. Our concern dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the production line. Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safety cages, and energy-absorbing impact zones were designed into Volvo cars long before it was fashionable or required by government regulation.
