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...
Other information:
The fuses in the engine compartment help protect electrical components such
as engine and brake functions.
Fuse pliers are provided on the inside of the fuse box cover to assist in removing
and inserting fuses.
There are also spaces for several extra fuses in the fusebox...
Braking on wet roads
Prolonged driving in heavy rain without braking may cause braking effect to
be slightly delayed the first time the brakes are applied. This may also occur
after washing the vehicle. It will then be necessary to apply greater pressure to
the brake pedal...
