General information
Adjusting the seat belt
Seat belts should always be worn by all occu-
pants of your vehicle. Children should be prop-
erly restrained, using an infant, car, or booster
seat determined by age, weight and height.
Volvo also believes no child should sit in the
front seat of a vehicle.
Most states and provinces make it mandatory
for occupants of a vehicle to use seat belts.
Seat belt pretensionersAll seat belts are equipped with pretensioners
that reduce slack in the belts. These preten-
sioners are triggered in situations where the
front or side impact airbags deploy, and in cer-
tain impacts from the rear. The front seat belts
also include a tension reducing device which,in the event of a collision, limits the peak forces
exerted by the seat belt on the occupant.
Fastening a seat belt
Buckling
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.
Adjusting seat belt height (front seat
belts only)
Adjusting seat belt height
The height of the shoulder section of the seat
belt must be correctly adjusted. Press the but-
ton and move the upper seat belt anchor to
position it as high as possible so that the shoul-der section of the belt is across the seat occu-
pant's collarbone and not across the throat.

WARNING
•Do not adjust the seat while driving. The
seat should be adjusted so that the
brake pedal can be depressed fully. In
addition, position the seat as far rear-
ward as comfort and control allow.
•Check that the seat is securely locked
into position after adjusting.
Folding the front seat backrest
The front passenger seat backrest can be
folded to a horizontal position to make room for
a long load. Fold the backrest as follows:
Move the seat as far back and down as
possible.
Adjust the backrest to an upright position.
Lift the catches on the rear of the backrest.
Without releasing the catches, push the
backrest forward.
Move the seat as far forward as possible
so that the head restraint slides under the
glove compartment.
WARNING
•When transporting long objects, cover
sharp edges on the load to help prevent
injury to occupants. Secure the load to
help prevent shifting during sudden
stops.
•When the seat's backrest is returned to
the upright position, push and pull it to
be sure that it is securely locked in this
position.

OperationThe seats can be adjusted for a short period
after unlocking the door with the remote con-
trol without the key in the ignition slot. Seat
adjustment is normally made when the ignition
is on and can always be made when the engine
is running.
NOTE
•Only one of the power seat's controls
can be used at the same time.
•The power seats have an overload pro-
tector that activates if a seat is blocked
by any object. If this occurs, switch off
the ignition (key in position 0) and wait
for a short period before operating the
seat again.

automatically if the button is released before
the seat has reached the preset position.
Remote key memory and the power
driver's seat* and door mirrors2
Each remote key has a feature that enables it
to store (remember) the position of the power
driver's seat and door mirrors when the vehicle
is locked with that remote key.
This feature has to be activated for each of the
remote keys used in the vehicle as follows:
1. Insert a remote key in the ignition slot.2.
Go into the MY CAR menu and go to
Settings
Car settingsCar key
memory
3. To activate the remote key memory fea-
ture, press ENTER (check the box).
> The remote key is now ready to store the
position of the power driver's seat and
door mirrors.
Repeat this procedure for each of the vehicle's
remote keys.
See page 189 for a description of the menu
system.
Storing the positions of the power
driver's seat/mirrors in the remote key
1. Move the seat and door mirrors to the
desired position using the seat and mirror
adjustment controls.
2. Exit the vehicle and lock the doors with the
remote key (or close the driver's door and
press the lock button on the door handle
with the remote key in your possession on
vehicles with the optional keyless drive).
> The positions of the power driver's seat
and door mirrors are now stored in the
remote key's memory.
NOTE
The remote key's memory feature and the
power driver's seat memory function (the
settings made using the buttons on the side
of the seat, see the section "Power seat
memory function" on page 87) work inde-
pendently of each other.
Returning the seat/mirrors to the stored
positions
To move the seat and door mirrors to the posi-
tion stored in the remote key:
1.
Unlock the driver's door with the same
remote key (the one used to lock the
doors). For models equipped with the
optional keyless drive, you must have the
same remote key in your possession.
2. Open the driver's door within 2 minutes.
The driver's seat and door mirrors will auto-
matically move to the position in which you left
them (if the vehicle has been unlocked with one
of the other keys and new seat/mirror adjust-
ments have been made).
2This information also applies to vehicles with the optional keyless drive.
