Warning
Never modify or repair the seatbelts yourself. Volvo recommends that an authorized Volvo workshop should be contacted. If the seatbelt has been subjected to a major load, such as in conjunction with a collision, the entire seatbelt must be replaced. Some of the seatbelt’s protective properties may have been lost even if the seatbelt does not appear damaged. The seatbelt must also be replaced if it shows signs of wear or damage. The new seatbelt must be type-approved and designed for installation at the same location as the replaced seatbelt.

Putting on and taking off seatbelts
Make sure that all passengers have fastened their seatbelts before starting to drive.
Putting on seatbelts
- Pull out the seatbelt slowly and make sure it is not twisted or damaged.
Note: The seatbelt is equipped with an inertia reel that is locked in the following situations:- if the belt is extended too quickly.
- during braking and acceleration.
- if the car leans heavily.
- when driving in sharper bends.
- Lock the belt by inserting the locking tab in the intended buckle.
A loud “click” indicates that the belt has locked.
Warning: Always insert the tongue of the seatbelt into the buckle on the correct side. The seatbelts and buckles would otherwise possibly not function as intended in the event of a collision. There is a risk of serious injury. - In the front seats the seatbelt can be adjusted for height.
- Tension the hip strap over the lap by pulling the diagonal shoulder belt up towards the shoulder

Taking off seatbelts
- Press the red button on the seatbelt buckle and then let the belt retract.
- If the seatbelt does not retract fully, feed it in by hand so that it does not hang loose
Seatbelt tensioner
The car is fitted with standard seatbelt tensioners and electric seatbelt (Option/accessory) tensioners that can tension the seatbelts in critical situations and collisions.
Standard seatbelt tensioner
The seatbelts in the front seat and at the outer seats in the rear are equipped with a standard belt pretensioner. The seatbelt tensioner tensions the seatbelt in the event of a collision with sufficient force in order to more effectively restrain the occupant.

Electric seatbelt tensioner
The driver and front passenger seatbelts are equipped with an electric seatbelt tensioner. The seatbelt pretensioner works together and can be activated together with the driver support systems for assistance at risk of collision and Rear Collision Warning (Option/accessory). In critical situations, such as panic braking, driving off the road (e.g. the car rolls into a ditch, lifts off the ground or hits something in the terrain), skidding, or risk of collision, the seatbelt can be tensioned by the seatbelt tensioner’s electric motor. The electric seatbelt tensioner helps to adjust the occupant to a better position, reducing the risk of striking the car’s interior and improving the effect of safety systems, such as the car’s airbags. When the critical situation has come to an end, the seatbelt and the electric seatbelt pretensioner are restored automatically, but they can also be restored manually.
