What Is Replaced And When?

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Volvo C70, 2001 Volvo C70, 2000 Volvo C70, 1999 Volvo C70, and 1998 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Driver/passenger airbag modules and seat belt tensioners indicate clearly when they have deployed and must be replaced.

When a driver and/or passenger airbag module has deployed:

all seat belt tensioners, seat belt buckles and end mountings in the rear seat (and in the third row rear seat where applicable) have been activated and should therefore be replaced
the seat belt tensioners in the front seats are checked according to Seat belt tensioner, checking , as activation of the tensioner function depends on whether seat belt was in use or not.

When the vehicle is subjected to collision forces without the driver and/or passenger airbag module deploying:

all the seat belt tensioners in the car must be checked. See Seat belt tensioner, checking .
