2007 VOLVO XC70 turn signal

2007 Volvo XC70
The seat belts are equipped with tensioners that reduce slack in the bel\
ts. These tensioners are triggered
in situations where the airbags deploy. The front seat belts also includ\
e a tension reducing device which,
in the event of a collision, limits the peak forces exerted by the seat \
belt on the occupant.
Buckling a seat belt
Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptac\
le until a distinct click is heard. The
seat belt retractor is normally "unlocked" and you can move freely, prov\
ided that the shoulder belt is not
pulled out too far.
The retractor will lock up as follows:
l if the belt is pulled out rapidly
l during braking and acceleration
l if the vehicle is leaning excessively
l when driving in turns
When wearing the seat belt remember:
l The belt should not be twisted or turned.
l The lap section of the belt must be positioned low on the hips (not pre\
ssing against the abdomen).
l Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled up into its retractor and tha\
t the shoulder and lap belts are
taut.
Unbuckling the seat belt
To remove the seat belt, press the red section on the seat belt receptac\
le. Before exiting the vehicle,
check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled. If necess\
ary, guide the belt back into the
retractor slot.
Seat belt reminder
The seat belt reminder consists of an audible signal, an indicator light\
above the rearview mirror, and a
symbol in the instrument panel that alert the driver and front seat pass\
enger if their seat belts are not
fastened.

Replacing bulbs
When replacing bulbs, keep the following points in mind:
l Never touch the glass of bulbs with your fingers. Grease and oils from y\
our fingers vaporize in the
heat and will leave a deposit on the reflector, which will damage it.
l The optional Active Bi-Xenon headlight bulbs contain trace amounts of me\
rcury. These bulbs should
always be disposed of by an authorized Volvo retailer.
l The following bulbs should only be replaced by an authorized Volvo servi\
ce technician:
- Active Bi-Xenon headlights,
- Courtesy (dome) lighting,
- Reading lights,
- Glove compartment lights
- Turn signals and courtesy lights in the side door mirrors
- High-mounted brake lights
- Diodes in the rear tail lights
Replacing bulbs at the front of the vehicle
All front bulbs (except the optional front fog lights) are replaced fr\
om the engine compartment.
WARNING!
Active Bi-Xenon headlights (option) - due to the high voltage used by \
these headlights, these bulbs
should only be replaced by an authorized Volvo service technician.
