> The seatbelt and electric seatbelt ten-sioner are reset.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seatbelts yourself. Volvo recommends that an authorised Volvoworkshop should be contacted. If the seatbelt has been subjected to a major load, such as in conjunction with a collision,the entire seatbelt must be replaced. Some ofthe seatbelt's protective properties may havebeen lost even if the seatbelt does not appeardamaged. The seatbelt must also be replacedif it shows signs of wear or damage. The newseatbelt must be type-approved and designedfor installation at the same location as thereplaced seatbelt.

Fastening/unfastening a seatbelt
Make sure that all passengers have fastened their seatbelts before starting to drive.
Fastening a seatbelt1. Pull out the seatbelt slowly and make sure it is not twisted or damaged.
NOTE
The seatbelt locks and cannot be withdrawn:
• if it is pulled out too quickly
• during braking and acceleration
• if the car leans heavily.
2. Lock the belt by inserting the locking tab in
the intended buckle.
> A loud "click" indicates that the belt haslocked.
WARNING
Always insert the tongue of the seatbelt into the buckle on the correct side. The seatbeltsand buckles would otherwise possibly notfunction as intended in the event of a colli-sion. There is a risk of serous injury.

3. In the front seats the seatbelt can be
adjusted for height.
Press together the seat mounting and move the seatbelt up or down. Position the belt as high as possible without it chafing against your throat.
The seatbelt must pass over the shoulder (not down over the arm).

The hip strap must be positioned low down (not over the abdomen).
WARNING
Each seatbelt is designed for only one person.
WARNING
Remember not to clip or hook the seatbelt to hooks or other interior fittings, as this pre-vents the belt from tightening properly.

Unfastening a seatbelt1. Press the red button on the seatbelt buckle and then let the belt retract.
2. If the seatbelt does not retract fully, feed it in by hand so that it does not hang loose.

Airbags
The car is equipped with airbags and inflatable curtains for driver and passengers.
WARNING
The airbag system's control module is located in the centre console. If the centre console isdrenched with water or other liquid, discon-nect the cables to the starter battery. Do notattempt to start the car since the airbags maydeploy. Recovering the car. Volvo recom-mends that it is transported to an authorisedVolvo workshop.
Deployed airbagsIf any of the airbags have deployed, the following is recommended:
• Recovering the car. Volvo recommends that itis transported to an authorised Volvo work-shop. Do not drive with deployed airbags.
• Volvo recommends engaging an authorisedVolvo workshop to handle the replacement ofcomponents in the car's safety systems.
• Always contact a doctor.
WARNING
Never drive with deployed airbags. They can make steering difficult. Other safety systemsmay also be damaged. The smoke and dustcreated when the airbags are deployed cancause skin and eye irritation/injury after inten-sive exposure. In case of irritation, wash withcold water. The rapid deployment sequenceand airbag fabric may cause friction and skinburns.

Driver and passenger airbags As a supplement to the seatbelts, the vehicle is equipped with airbags on the driver and passen-ger sides in the front seat.
Driver and passenger airbags1
.
In the event of a frontal collision, the airbags help to protect the head, face and chest of the driver and passenger as well as the knees and legs 1
of
the driver. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the airbag/airbags is inflated. The airbagcushions the initial collision impact for the occu-pant. The airbag deflates when compressed bythe collision. When this occurs, smoke escapesinto the car. This is completely normal. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of theairbag, occurs within tenths of a second.
NOTE
The detectors react differently depending on the nature of the collision and whether or notthe seatbelts are fastened. Applies to all beltpositions. It is therefore possible that only one (or none) of the airbags may inflate in a collision. Thedetectors sense the force of the collision onthe vehicle and the action is adapted accord-ingly so that none, one or more airbags aredeployed.
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If the belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this maydiminish the protection provided by the airbagin the event of a collision. To minimise the risk of injury if the airbag deploys, passengers must sit as upright aspossible with their feet on the floor and backsagainst the backrest.
WARNING
Volvo recommends that an authorised Volvo workshop should be contacted for repair.Defective work in the airbag system couldcause malfunction and result in serious per-sonal injury.
