Volvo XC90: Safety / Seat belts
Seat belts should always be worn by all occupants in your vehicle. Children should
be properly restrained using an infant seat, adjustable child seat or booster cushion
as determined by age, weight and height.
Most states and provinces make it mandatory for occupants of a vehicle to use
seat belts.
Seat belt maintenance
Check periodically that the seat belts are in good condition. Use water and a
mild detergent for cleaning. Check the seat belt mechanism's function as follows:
attach the seat belt and pull rapidly on the strap.
WARNING
Never repair the belt yourself. Repairs should only be performed by a trained
and qualified Volvo service technician.
Any device used to induce slack into the shoulder belt portion of the threepoint
belt system will have a detrimental effect on the amount of protection available
in the event of a collision.
The seat back should not be tilted too far back. The shoulder belt must
be taut in order to function properly.
Do not use any type of child restraint in the front passenger seat. We
recommend that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with
the seat belt properly fastened.
The Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) is designed to help reduce the risk
of whiplashtype injuries. The system consists of energy absorbing backrests and
seat cushions as well as specially designed head restraints in the front seats...
Make sure that all passengers have buckled their seat belts before starting
to drive.
Buckling seat belts
Pull out the belt slowly and make sure it is not twisted or damaged...
