2006 VOLVO XC90
WARNING!
l Never use a seat belt for more than one occupant.
l Never wear the shoulder portion of the belt under the arm, behind the ba\
ck or otherwise out of
position. Such use could cause injury in the event of an accident.
l Seat belts lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretchin\
g and should be replaced
after any collision, even if they appear to be undamaged.
l Never repair the belt yourself; have this work done by an authorized Vol\
vo service technician only.
l Any device used to induce slack into the shoulder belt portion of the th\
ree-point belt system will
have a detrimental effect on the amount of protection available to you i\
n the event of a collision.
l The seat back should not be tilted too far back. The shoulder belt must \
be taut in order to function
properly.
l 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.

Seat belt use during pregnancy
Seat belt use during pregnancy
The seat belt should always be worn during pregnancy. But it is crucial \
that it be worn in the correct
way. The diagonal section should wrap over the shoulder then be routed b\
etween the breasts and to the
side of the belly. The lap section should lay flat over the thighs and a\
s low as possible under the belly. It
must never be allowed to ride upward. Remove all slack from the belt and\
insure that it fits close to the
body without any twists.
As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers should adjust their seats an\
d steering wheel such that they
can easily maintain control of the vehicle as they drive (which means t\
hey must be able to easily operate
the foot pedals and steering wheel). Within this context, they should s\
trive to position the seat with as
large a distance as possible between their belly and the steering wheel.\
