2002 VOLVO S60 child lock

Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle until a distinct click is heard. The seat belt
retractor is normally "unlocked" and you can move freely, provided that the shoulder belt is not pulled out too far. The
retractor will lock up as follows:
if the belt is pulled out rapidly
during braking and acceleration
if the vehicle is leaning excessively
when driving in turns For the seat belt to provide maximum protection in the event of an accident, it must be worn
correctly. When wearing the seat belt remember:
The belt should not be twisted or turned.
The lap belt must be positioned low on the hips (not pressing against the abdomen).
Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled up into its retractor and that the shoulder and lap belts are taut.
Before exiting the car, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the belt back
into the retractor slot.
Child seats:
Please refer to page 27
for information on securing child seats with the seat belts.
pg. 11 Seat belts
During pregnancy
Pregnant women should always wear seat belts. Remember that the belt should always be positioned in such a way as
to avoid any possible pressure on the abdomen. The lap portion of the belt should be located low, as shown in the
above illustration.
WARNING!
Seat belts:
Never use a seat belt for more than one occupant. Never wear the shoulder portion of the belt under the arm,
behind the back or otherwise out of position. Such use could cause injury in the event of an accident. As seat belts
lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretching, they should be replaced after any collision, even if
they appear to be undamaged.
Never repair the belt on your own; have this work done by an authorized Volvo retailer only.
Any device used to induce slack into the shoulder belt portion of the three-point belt system will have a
detrimental effect on the amount of protection available to you 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 child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend
that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt properly fastened.

2. After you have unlocked the driver's door with the key or remote control, the driver's seat can be adjusted during a
10 minute period if the door remains open. If the door is closed, the seat can be adjusted for 40 seconds. The ignition
key can be in position 0 or not yet inserted in the ignition switch.

open the driver's door, the driver's seat will automatically move to the position in which you left it.
The seat will move to this position even if someone else had adjusted them since you last drove the car.
NOTE! This feature will work in the same way with all of the remote control transmitters (up to 3) that you use with
your car.
This feature will not function if you lock your car with the key. This feature will not function if you lock you car with
the key.

D - Backrest tilt
NOTE! The power seats have an overload protector that activates if a seat is blocked by any object. If this occurs,
switch off the ignition (key in position 0) and wait about 20 seconds before operating the seat again.

Each of the keys supplied with your car contains a coded transmitter. The code in the key is transmitted to an antenna
in the ignition switch where it is compared to the code stored in the start inhibitor module. The car will start only with
a properly coded key.
If you misplace a key, take the other keys to an authorized Volvo retailer for reprogramming as an antitheft measure.
NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following condition: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
WARNING!
If the doors are locked while driving, this may hinder rapid access to the occupants of the car in the event of an
accident. (Also see information on "Child safety locks"
pg. 119 Keys and remote controls
Remote controls
Your car is equipped with a remote control transmitter. This transmitter uses a radio signal to allow "keyless" entry
into the passenger compartment or the trunk. You will be supplied with two coded key ring transmitters, which will
enable you to lock/unlock all doors and the trunk from a distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters).
On vehicles equipped with an alarm, the alarm will also be activated/deactivated by this system.
The car can also be locked/unlocked with the key.
As an extra security precaution in certain situations (valet parking, etc.), Volvo recommends that the transmitter not be
included when the keys are given to anyone. The service key can be used instead. If one of the transmitters is
misplaced, contact the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for assistance.
