Volvo XC90: Safety / Safety during pregnancy
It is important that seat belts are worn correctly during pregnancy and that
pregnant drivers adjust their seating position accordingly.
Seat belt

The seat belt should fit closely against the shoulder, with the diagonal section
between the breasts and to the side of the stomach.
The lap section of the seat belt should lie flat over the thighs and as far as
possible under the stomach. Never let it ride upward. Remove unnecessary slack and
make sure the seat belt fits as close as possible to the body. Make sure there are
no twists in the seat belt.
Seating position
As pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers should adjust the seat and steering
wheel to a position that allows them to retain full control of the vehicle (which
means they should be able to easily reach the steering wheel and foot pedals). Try
to maintain as much distance as possible between the stomach and the steering wheel.
Safety
The vehicle is equipped with a number of safety systems that work together to help protect the vehicle's driver and passengers in the event of an accident...
Safety is Volvo's cornerstone.
Volvo's concern for safety
Our concern for safety dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the
production line...

(Option/accessory.)
The steel cargo grid prevents loads or pets in the cargo compartment from
being thrown forward into the passenger compartment during hard braking.
For safety reasons, the steel grid must always be installed and secured correctly...
A more economical driving style can help lower fuel consumption.
Before driving
If possible, precondition the vehicle before driving.
If preconditioning is not possible when it is cold outside, use seat and
steering wheel heating first. Avoid heating the entire passenger compartment
to reduce the amount of current being taken from the start battery...
