i am having problems with my seat belts on my Volvo v 70. the problem is they are too short and wont extend all the way. what is the procedure on releasing them or resetting them so they extend to their fullest length?
all the help appreciated.


thanks

 

Are they retracting at all? Are they stuck? If they're stuck, you may have to replace them. If that's the case, be careful when replacing them because you need to disconnect the battery to reduce the chances of setting off the SRS light.

 

they do retract but when we try to extend them they can only be extended to certain length and wont go even a millimeter further

what should i do ?

 

What year is your car? I would start by pulling the pillar loose to see if you can tell if the belt is somehow twisted or stuck in there. Also, if it will not extend all the way, it may need to be replaced.

If you have to replace it, make sure you disconnect the battery for 30 minutes prior to removing it. I hear it can set off the SRS light.

 

mine is 1998 volvo v 70 station wagon, 2.4 litre.

 

I had the same problem on my rear passenger seat/ seat belt. lift the rear seat up and there is a bolt that the seat belt attaches to. I removed the bolt and reset the seatbelt this way. 1998 V70 158,925 my first Volvo and loving it so far.

 

What about the front ones? Whats the procedure?
