Volvo XC90: Safety / Resetting the electric seat belt tensioners
The electric seat belt tensioners are designed to be reset automatically,
but if the seat belt remains taut it can be reset manually.
- Stop the vehicle in a safe location.
- Unbuckle the seat belt and then rebuckle it.
- The seat belt and the electric seat belt tensioner will be reset.
WARNING
Never attempt to alter or repair the seat belt on your own. Volvo recommends
contacting an authorized Volvo workshop.
If the seat belt has been exposed to extreme forces, e.g. in conjunction
with a collision, the entire seat belt must be replaced. Even if the seat belt appears
undamaged, some of its protective properties may have been lost. Also replace the
seat belt if it is worn or damaged. The new seat belt must be type approved and
intended for the same seating position as the replaced seat belt.
The vehicle is equipped with standard and electric seat belt tensioners that
can help tension the seat belt in a critical situation or collision.
Standard seat belt tensioners
All seat belts are equipped with a standard seat belt tensioner...
This system is intended to remind occupants to buckle their seat belts and
to alert the driver if a door, hood or other opening (trunk, sunroof, etc.) is open...

the handle under the hood.
Opening the hood
Pull the handle to the left of
the brake pedal to release the hood from its fully closed position.

being thrown forward into the passenger compartment during hard braking.
For safety reasons, the steel grid must always be installed and secured correctly...
