Seatbelt Tensioner; Safety - Warning Symbol - Volvo V70 Owner's Manual

Seatbelt tensioner

All the seatbelts (p. 22) are equipped with belt
tensioners. A mechanism in the seatbelt ten-
sioner tightens the seatbelt in the event of a
sufficiently violent collision. The seatbelt then
provides more effective restraint for the occu-
pants.
WARNING
Never insert the tongue of the passenger's
seatbelt into the buckle on the driver's
side. Always insert the tongue of the seat-
belt into the buckle on the correct side. Do
not make any damages on seatbelts nor
insert any foreign objects into a buckle.
The seatbelts and buckles would then
possibly not function as intended in the
event of a collision. There is a risk of
serous injury.

detected during fault tracing or if a system
has been activated. Where required, the
warning symbol is shown together with a

The warning symbol in the combined instru-
ment panel illuminates when the remote con-

bol is extinguished after approx. 6 seconds
provided the airbag system is fault-free.
WARNING
If the warning symbol for the airbag sys-
tem remains illuminated or illuminates
while driving, it means that the airbag sys-
tem does not have full functionality. The
symbol indicates a fault in the seatbelt ten-
sioner system, SIPS, the IC system or
some other fault in the system. Volvo rec-
ommends that you contact an authorised
Volvo workshop immediately.
