pg. 1 Occupant safety
Occupant  safety
Despite our strongest recommendations, and  your best intentions,  not wearing a  seat belt is like believing "It'll  never
happen to me!". Volvo urges you and  all adult occupants of your car to wear  seat belts and  ensure that children are
properly restrained,  using an  infant, car or booster  seat determined by age, weight and  height. 
Fact: In every state and  province, some type of child-restraint legislation has been passed. Additionally, most  states
and  provinces have already  made it mandatory for occupants of a  car to use seat belts. 
So, urging you to "buckle  up" is not just  our recommendation - legislation in your state or province may mandate seat
belt usage. The few seconds it takes to buckle up may one  day  allow you to say, "It's a  good thing I was wearing my
seat belt".

Seat belts
 
Always fasten the seat belts before you drive or  ride.  
Two lights above the rear view  mirror will be  illuminated for 4-8 seconds after the starting (ignition) key  is turned to
the driving position. A chime  will sound at the same time if the driver has not fastened his seat belt. The rear seats  are
provided with self -retracting inertia reel belts. The front  seats  are provided with single roller belts with tensioners.
