How to check the seat belts for satisfactory operation and condition for petrol engine on Volvo S40?

Check the seat belts for satisfactory operation and condition by inspecting the webbing for fraying and cuts, and ensure they retract smoothly without binding into their reels. Additionally, verify that the seat belt mountings have all bolts securely tightened.

Are Volvo S40 equipped with pyrotechnic front seat belt tensioners as part of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)?

All models equipped with pyrotechnic front seat belt tensioners as part of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) to give the seat belt instant take-up slack in the event of a sudden frontal impact, reducing the risk of injury to front seat occupants. The tensioner is activated by a frontal impact above some predetermined force, although lesser impacts will not activate the system. When triggered the explosive gas in the tensioner also retracts, this locks the seat belt to prevent the wearer from moving, and holds the occupant in position; once this has been activated the seat belt is permanently locked and must be replaced. Caution should be exercised when working on the car as it is easy to inadvertently trigger and be hurt, so it is recommended that such work be done by a Volvo dealer. For removal, the ignition should be turned off and the battery negative lead disconnected, and then wait for at least 5 minutes. The correct front seat and B-Pillar trim should be removed and the wiring plug disconnected prior to loosening the pyrotechnic tube clamp bolt and removes the seat belt inertia reel. For rear seat belts the same first steps apply, with special procedures for outer seat belts on S40 and V50 models with removal of the parcel shelf or folding down of the rear seat backrest. Accessing the centre seat belt inertia reels entails the removal of the seat cover, steps being taken to release the upholstery and armrests. Refitting includes reversing the steps for removing and making sure all components are properly fastened, and a final check of the airbag warning light after reconnecting the battery.

Volvo S40 Seat Belt

The Volvo S40 Seat Belt is designed to ensure that all the occupants are firmly seated in their positions in case of sudden stopping or a collision, reducing the chances of injury because it absorbs the shock of the crash and removes the chances of being thrown out of the car. Volvo has been keeping up with the industry in terms of standardization of this safety equipment, as it first emerged as optional equipment in the 1950s, and by perfecting its components to fit the compact sedan line. Following its initial use in aerospace, Volvo encouraged its widespread use in cars by ensuring that all belts were up to increasing federal requirements. Four primary hardware components are applied in modern systems, the polyester webbing that surrounds the torso tightly, the retractor that allows the strap to slide freely during normal travel but locks instantly upon rapid deceleration, the buckle that snaps firmly, and the tongue that slides into the buckle to provide a firm grip. The combination of the belt and airbags forms a primary restraint system that does not force a rider to crash into the wheel, dash, or windshield. It applied to be believed by racing pioneers that it was safer to jump clear, but real life crashes have shown that the belt keeps people in the safe place, their seat. The 1960s federal regulations also required belts to be applied, and thus all subsequent S40 models were equipped with a factory fitted belt capable of carrying a load of over 28 kilonewtons. Volvo has now stayed true to form and installed the reliable Seat Belt in every cabin today, and a driver can easily replace a worn out Seat Belt assembly on a case by case basis when the webbing gets frayed or the latch malfunctions.

Q: Are Volvo S40 equipped with pyrotechnic front seat belt tensioners as part of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)?
A:
All models equipped with pyrotechnic front seat belt tensioners as part of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) to give the seat belt instant take-up slack in the event of a sudden frontal impact, reducing the risk of injury to front seat occupants. The tensioner is activated by a frontal impact above some predetermined force, although lesser impacts will not activate the system. When triggered the explosive gas in the tensioner also retracts, this locks the seat belt to prevent the wearer from moving, and holds the occupant in position; once this has been activated the seat belt is permanently locked and must be replaced. Caution should be exercised when working on the car as it is easy to inadvertently trigger and be hurt, so it is recommended that such work be done by a Volvo dealer. For removal, the ignition should be turned off and the battery negative lead disconnected, and then wait for at least 5 minutes. The correct front seat and B-Pillar trim should be removed and the wiring plug disconnected prior to loosening the pyrotechnic tube clamp bolt and removes the seat belt inertia reel. For rear seat belts the same first steps apply, with special procedures for outer seat belts on S40 and V50 models with removal of the parcel shelf or folding down of the rear seat backrest. Accessing the centre seat belt inertia reels entails the removal of the seat cover, steps being taken to release the upholstery and armrests. Refitting includes reversing the steps for removing and making sure all components are properly fastened, and a final check of the airbag warning light after reconnecting the battery.
