Safety -> Seatbelts for Your Volvo EX30 4 Door First Generation (2025-2026)

5.4. Seatbelts  
When you use seatbelts correctly, they can help prevent serious injury in situations ranging from sudden  
braking to severe collisions.  
Seatbelt features  
The seatbelt locks itself to act as a safety restraint under certain conditions. They include sudden and forceful pulling of the belt,  
if the car is driven aggressively and if the car is on a steep incline.  
Seatbelt reminder  
The car uses built-in sensors to detect if the driver or any of the passengers aren't using their seatbelts. The system alerts the  
driver with a warning sound and the seatbelt reminder symbol appears in the display.

Important  
Wearing seatbelts  
These are the essentials for wearing seatbelts properly. There is also more detailed information in other sections of the  
manual covering proper seating and seatbelt adjustments.  
Make sure that everyone in the car wears their seatbelt and that all belts are properly adjusted.  
Adjust the seatbelt for the wearer's size.  
Wear the seatbelt closely against the body.  
Minimise slack in all belt segments.  
Allow the belt to run as straight as possible between its three anchor points.[1]  
Have the backrest in an upright position.  
Follow all seating and posture recommendations.[2]  
Do not wear the seatbelt in ways other than those described in this user manual.  
Always use seatbelts when driving.  
Never use the same seatbelt for more than one individual at a time.  
Warning  
Seatbelt care and maintenance  
Never modify or repair seatbelts or related parts such as fittings and hooks yourself. Any service or replacement must  
be done by a trained technician with access to type-approved parts.[3]  
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop if the seatbelt or a related part shows signs of damage or wear.  
Replace the seatbelt if it has been subjected to a heavy load, such as in a collision. It may have lost protective  
properties even if there is no apparent damage.  
Clean the seatbelt as soon as possible if anything is spilled onto it. The spilled substance can enter the mechanism  
and deteriorate the material.

A correctly fastened and adjusted seatbelt is important for your safety as well as comfort.  
Correctly fastened and adjusted seatbelt.  
Note  
These instructions apply to adults and children who are seated normally or are using a booster seat or booster cushion.  
Read the separate section covering child safety for detailed information about child seating and different types of child  
restraints.  
Before fastening the seatbelt on an outer rear seat, make sure the belt is running flat through the seatbelt guide on top of the  
backrest. If the seatbelt has made its way outside of the guide, reinsert it through the gap.  
Seatbelt guide  
Important  
Leaving the seatbelt outside the guide during fastening can cause the belt to shift position. This could have a negative  
impact on passenger safety or comfort. It can also lead to retracting-issues, which in turn might damage the belt over  
time.  
Fastening the seatbelt  
Pull the seatbelt out by the latch plate. If you pull too fast, the locking mechanism will engage.

While extended, check the belt for twists, knots or damage.

Warning  
Check when seatbelt is fastened  
The seatbelt should run directly and as straight as possible between its three anchor points. Any unnecessary  
slack increases the risk of injury.  
Make sure everyone in the car is wearing their seatbelt correctly.  
Adjusting the seatbelt  
For occupants in the front seats, adjust the height of the seatbelt's upper anchor point.

Seatbelt upper anchor point  
Hold the button on the upper anchor point down to allow it to slide up and down.  
Place it as high as possible without the belt touching the throat or neck.  
Tension the hip strap to remove slack by pulling upwards on the diagonal chest strap. It should be as straight and low as  
possible, running below the abdomen.

Important  
Pregnancy  
Take extra care to follow all seating recommendations if the occupant is pregnant. Make sure that the seatbelt does  
not cross the belly. The hip strap should be under the belly and the shoulder section should pass above it.  
Releasing the seatbelt  
Release the seatbelt by pressing the buckle button.  
Guide the seatbelt back to its retracted position.

Important  
Make sure the seatbelt retracts fully after using it. Closing a door with the seatbelt caught in the gap can damage  
both the seatbelt and the door.

If the reminder appears, buckle the indicated seatbelts as soon as possible in a safe manner. Stop the car, if necessary, to avoid  
distracted driving.

If you dismiss these reminders in the display, the large graphic will disappear but the other warning indicators will remain act-  
ive. Buckle the seatbelt to remove them.
