Core Functions

• Precise Tongue Guidance: The buckle’s opening is shaped to align the seat belt tongue (the metal tab on the webbing) for quick, one-handed insertion—reducing fumbling and encouraging seat belt use. Its internal latching mechanism (made of hardened steel) locks the tongue securely in place during normal use, with a release button that operates smoothly in emergencies.
• Load Distribution Support: Works with the seat belt webbing to ensure impact forces are distributed evenly across the passenger’s hips (a critical load-bearing area) during collisions. A misaligned or loose buckle can shift force to the abdomen or chest, increasing injury risk—this OE buckle’s fixed position maintains optimal safety geometry.
• Seat Belt Reminder Compatibility: For XC60 variants with seat belt reminder sensors, the buckle includes a built-in switch that detects when the tongue is inserted. This triggers the dashboard reminder light/chime if the passenger fails to fasten the belt, reinforcing safety compliance.
