Crash event data

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like sit­uations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in under­standing how a vehicle's systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understand­ing of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving condi­tions and the EDR never registers who is driving the vehicle or the location of a crash or a near crash-like situation. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data rou-
tinely acquired during a crash investigation. To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed.
Furthermore, your vehicle is equipped with a number of computers whose task is to continu­ously control and monitor the vehicle’s operation. They can also register some of this information during normal driving conditions, most importantly if they detect a fault relating to the vehicle’s oper­ation and functionality or upon activation of the vehicle’s active safety systems (e.g. City Safety and the auto-brake function). Some of the regis­tered information is required by technicians when carrying out service and maintenance to enable them to diagnose and rectify any faults that have occurred in the vehicle and to enable Volvo to ful­fill legal and other regulatory requirements. Infor­mation thus registered in the vehicle is registered in the vehicle’s computers until the vehicle is serviced or repaired. In addition to the above, the registered information may – on an aggregated basis – be used for research and product devel­opment purposes in order to continuously improve the safety and quality of Volvo vehicles.

Volvo and the environment

Volvo is committed to the well-being of its cus­tomers. As a natural part of this commitment, we care about the environment in which we all live. Concern for the environment means an everyday involvement in reducing our environmental impact.
Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider the over­all environmental impact of a product throughout its complete life cycle. In this context, design, pro­duction, product use, and recycling are all impor­tant considerations. In production, Volvo has partly or completely phased out several chemicals including CFCs, lead chromates, asbestos, and cadmium; and reduced the number of chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991.
Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic converter with a Lambda sond, now called the heated oxygen sen­sor, in 1976. The current version of this highly efficient system reduces emissions of harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately 95 – 99% and the search to eliminate the remaining emissions continues. Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning system of all models as far back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced electronic engine controls and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal. In addition to continuous environmental
refinement of conventional gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles.
When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner in the work to lessen the car's impact on the environment. To reduce your vehicle's environ­mental impact, you can:
Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased fuel economy with improperly inflated tires.
Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet.
Drive at a constant speed whenever possible.
See a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indicator) light illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started.
Properly dispose of any vehicle-related waste such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake pads, etc.
When cleaning your vehicle, please use gen­uine Volvo car care products. All Volvo car care products are formulated to be environ­mentally friendly.

Volvo Structural Parts Statement

Volvo has always been and continues to be a leader in automotive safety.
Volvo engineers and manufactures vehicles designed to help protect vehicle occupants in the event of a collision.
Volvos are designed to absorb the impact of a collision. This energy absorption system including, but not limited to, structural components such as bumper reinforcement bars, bumper energy absorbers, frames, rails, fender aprons, A-pillars, B-pillars and body panels must work together to maintain cabin integrity and protect the vehicle occupants.
The supplemental restraint system including but not limited to air bags, side curtain air bags, and deployment sensors work together with the above components to provide proper timing for air bag deployment.
Due to the above, Volvo Car USA does not sup­port the use of aftermarket, alternative or any­thing other than original Volvo parts for collision repair.
Volvo Car USA also recommends using Volvo­approved replacement glass. The use of after­market glass, particularly a windshield, can have an adverse effect on collision avoidance and advanced lighting systems.
In addition Volvo does not support the use or re­use of structural components from an existing
vehicle that has been previously damaged. Although these parts may appear equivalent, it is difficult to tell if the parts have been previously replaced with non-OE parts or if the part has been damaged as a result of a prior collision. The quality of these used parts may also have been affected due to environmental exposure.

Driver distraction

Please keep the following warnings in mind when operating/servicing your vehicle.
A driver has a responsibility to do everything pos­sible to ensure his or her own safety and the safety of passengers in the vehicle and others sharing the roadway. Avoiding distractions is part of that responsibility.
Driver distraction results from driver activities that are not directly related to controlling the vehicle in the driving environment. Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped with many feature-rich enter­tainment and communication systems. These include hands-free cellular telephones, navigation systems, and multipurpose audio systems. You may also own other portable electronic devices for your own convenience. When used properly and safely, they enrich the driving experience. Improperly used, any of these could cause a dis­traction.
For all of these systems, we want to provide the following warning that reflects the strong Volvo concern for your safety. Never use these devices or any feature of your vehicle in a way that dis­tracts you from the task of driving safely. Distrac­tion can lead to a serious accident. In addition to this general warning, we offer the following guid­ance regarding specific newer features that may be found in your vehicle:
WARNING
Never use a hand-held cellular telephone while driving. Some jurisdictions prohibit cellular telephone use by a driver while the vehicle is moving.
If your vehicle is equipped with a naviga­tion system, set and make changes to your travel itinerary only with the vehicle parked.
Never program your audio system while the vehicle is moving. Program radio pre­sets with the vehicle parked, and use your programmed presets to make radio use quicker and simpler.
Never use portable computers or per­sonal digital assistants while the vehicle is moving.

Accessory installation

We strongly recommend that Volvo owners install only genuine, Volvo-approved acces­sories, and that accessory installations be performed only by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to ensure compatibility with the performance, safety, and emission systems in your vehicle. Additionally, a trained and qualified Volvo service technician knows where accessories may and may not be safely installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please consult a trained
and qualified Volvo service technician before installing any accessory in or on your vehicle.
Accessories that have not been approved by Volvo may or may not be specifically tested for compatibility with your vehicle. Addition­ally, an inexperienced installer may not be familiar with some of your car's systems.
Any of your car's performance and safety systems could be adversely affected if you install accessories that Volvo has not tested, or if you allow accessories to be installed by someone unfamiliar with your vehicle.
Damage caused by unapproved or improperly installed accessories may not be covered by your new vehicle warranty. See your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for more warranty information. Volvo assumes no responsibility for death, injury, or expenses that may result from the installation of non­genuine accessories.

WARNING
The driver is always responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe manner and for comply­ing with current statutes and regulations.
It is also essential to maintain and service the vehicle according to Volvo's recommendations as stated in the owner's information and the service and warranty booklet.
If the on-board information differs from the printed owner's manual, the printed informa­tion always takes precedence.

Technician certification

In addition to Volvo factory training, Volvo sup­ports certification by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (A.S.E.).
Certified technicians have demonstrated a high degree of competence in specific areas. Besides passing exams, each technician must also have worked in the field for two or more years before a certificate is issued. These professional techni­cians are best able to analyze vehicle problems and perform the necessary maintenance proce­dures to keep your Volvo at peak operating con­dition.

General safety information

The vehicle is equipped with a number of safety systems for the driver and passengers.
In the event of an accident, there are a number of sensors in the vehicle that react and trigger safety systems such as Roll Stability Control, air­bags, seat belt pretensioners, etc., depending on the severity of the collision. There are also mechanical systems such as the Whiplash Protection System.

Warning symbol in the instrument panel

The warning symbol in the instrument panel illuminates when the ignition is in mode II or higher. It will go out after approx. 6 seconds if no faults are
detected in the airbag system.
WARNING
If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it illuminates while you are driving, have the vehicle inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible.
Never try to repair any component or part of the SRS yourself. Any interference in the system could cause malfunction and serious injury. All work on these systems should be performed by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
If the dedicated warning symbol is not functioning, the general warning sym­bol will illuminate instead and the same message will be displayed in the instru-
ment panel.

Safety during pregnancy

The seat belt should always be worn during pregnancy. However, it is crucial that it be worn correctly.
The diagonal section should wrap over the shoul­der then be routed between the breasts and to the side of the belly. The lap section should lay flat over the thighs and as low as possible under the belly. It must never be allowed to ride upward. Remove all slack from the belt and ensure that it fits close to the body without any twists.
As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers should adjust their seats and steering wheel such that they can easily maintain control of the vehi­cle as they drive (which means they must be able to easily operate the foot pedals and steering wheel). Within this context, they should strive to position the seat with as large a distance as pos­sible between their belly and the steering wheel.

Whiplash protection system

The Whiplash protection system (WHIPS) con­sists of specially designed hinges and brackets on the front seat backrests designed to help absorb some of the energy generated in a colli­sion from the rear (when the vehicle is rear­ended).

Function

In the event of certain rear-end collisions, the hinges and brackets of the front seat backrests are designed to change position slightly to allow the backrest/head restraint to help support the occupant's head before moving slightly rearward. This movement helps absorb some of the forces that could result in whiplash.
WARNING
The WHIPS system is designed to sup­plement the other safety systems in your vehicle. For this system to function prop­erly, the three-point seat belt must be worn. Please be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.
The WHIPS system is designed to func­tion in certain collisions from the rear, depending on the crash severity, angle and speed.
WARNING
Occupants in the front seats must never sit out of position. The occupant's back must be as upright as comfort allows and be against the seat back with the seat belt properly fastened.
If your vehicle has been involved in a rear­end collision, the front seat backrests must be inspected by a trained and quali­fied Volvo service technician, even if the seats appear to be undamaged. Certain components in the WHIPS system may need to be replaced.
Do not attempt to service any component in the WHIPS system yourself.
WARNING
Boxes, suitcases, etc. wedged behind the front seats could impede the function of the Whiplash Protection System.
If the rear seat backrests are folded down, cargo must be secured to prevent it from sliding forward against the front seat backrests in the event of a collision from the rear. This could interfere with the action of the Whiplash Protection System.

Do not place any objects behind the front seats that could impede the WHIPS function
WARNING
Any contact between the front seat backrests and the folded rear seat or a rear-facing child seat could impede the function of the WHIPS system. If the rear seat is folded down, the occupied front seats must be adjusted for­ward so that they do not touch the folded rear seat.

Occupant safety

Safety is Volvo's cornerstone.

Volvo's concern for safety

Our concern for safety dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the production line. Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safety cages, and energy-absorbing impact zones were designed into Volvo vehicles long before it was fashionable or required by government regulation.
We will not compromise our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safety fea­tures and to refine those already in our vehicles. You can help. We would appreciate hearing your suggestions about improving automobile safety. We also want to know if you ever have a safety concern with your vehicle. Call us in the U.S. at: 1-800-458-1552 or in Canada at: 1-800-663-8255.
Occupant safety reminders
How safely you drive doesn't depend on how old you are but rather on:
How well you see.
Your ability to concentrate.
How quickly you make decisions under stress to avoid an accident.
The following suggestions are intended to help you cope with the ever changing traffic environ­ment.
Never drink and drive.
If you are taking any medication, consult your physician about its potential effects on your driving abilities.
Take a driver-retraining course.
Have your eyes checked regularly.
Keep your windshield and headlights clean.
Replace wiper blades when they start to leave streaks.
Take into account the traffic, road, and weather conditions, particularly with regard to stopping distance.
Never send text messages while driving.
Refrain from using or minimize the use of a cell phone while driving.

Seat belts

Seat belts should always be worn by all occu­pants of your vehicle. Children should be prop­erly restrained, using an infant, car, or booster seat determined by age, weight and height.
Most states and provinces make it mandatory for occupants of a vehicle to use seat belts.

Reversible seat belt pretensioners

Reversible seat belt pretensioners is a system in the front seats that pulls the seat belts slightly taut prior to a collision. This function helps posi­tion the front seat occupants to help improve the effects of other safety systems, e.g., the airbag system.

Seat belt maintenance

Check periodically that the seat belts are in good condition. Use water and a mild detergent for cleaning. Check seat belt mechanism function as follows: attach the seat belt and pull rapidly on the strap.
WARNING
Never repair the belt yourself; have this work done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician only.
Any device used to induce slack into the shoulder belt portion of the three-point belt system will have a detrimental effect on the amount of protection available to you in the event of a collision.
The seat back should not be tilted too far back. The shoulder belt must be taut in order to function properly.
Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt properly fastened.

Seat belt pretensioners

The vehicle's seat belts are equipped with stand­ard and electric pretensioners that can help pull the seat belts taut in a critical situation or a colli­sion. Some or all of the pretensioners will be triggered in certain types of collisions, depend­ing on the direction and severity of the impact.

Reversible seat belt pretensioners

Reversible seat belt pretensioners is a system in the front seats that pulls the seat belts slightly taut prior to a collision. This function helps posi­tion the front seat occupants to help improve the effects of other safety systems, e.g., the airbag system.

Seat belt pretensioners in collisions

The seat belts are equipped with standard pre­tensioners that are triggered according to the severity of a collision.

Seat belt pretensioners in critical situations

In addition to the standard pretensioners, the seat belts in the front seats are also equipped with electric pretensioners.
The pretensioners interact and can be triggered along with the City Safety and Rear Collision Warning systems. In critical situations such as sudden braking, evasive maneuvers, etc., the seat belt can be pulled taut by the pretensioner's electric motor.
The electric pretensioner positions the occupant in the seat to help reduce the risk of striking the interior of the passenger compartment and improves the effect of other safety systems such as the airbags.
Resetting the electric pretensioners
When a critical situation has passed, the seat belt and the electric pretensioner are reset automati­cally.
If the seat belt should remain taut:
1. Stop the vehicle safely.
2. Unbuckle the seat belt and rebuckle it. > The seat belt and the electric preten-
sioner will be reset.

Buckling and unbuckling seat belts

Seat belts should be used by all occupants in the vehicle when it is in motion.

Buckling a seat belt

1. Pull the belt out slowly. It should not be twis­ted or turned.
NOTE
Each seat belt is equipped with a seat belt retractor that will lock up in the following sit­uations:
if the belt is pulled out rapidly
during braking and acceleration
if the vehicle is leaning excessively
when driving in turns
if the Automatic Locking Retractor/Emer­gency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR) is activated (each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with the ALR/ELR function, which is designed to help keep the seat belt taut. ALR/ELR activates if the seat belt is pulled out as far as possible. If this is done, a sound from the seat belt retractor will be audible, which is normal, and the seat belt will be pulled taut and locked in place. This func­tion is automatically disabled when the seat belt is unbuckled and fully retracted).
2. Insert the latch plate into the receptacle. The seat belt retractor is normally "unlocked" and you can move freely, provided that the shoul­der belt is not pulled out too far.
> A distinct click will be audible.
WARNING
The seat belt latch plate should only be inserted into its intended receptacle. Inserting it into one of the other receptacles may pre­vent it from functioning properly.
3. The height of the seat belts in the front seats can be adjusted. The height of the shoulder section of the seat belt must be correctly adjusted.
Press the button and move the upper seat belt anchor up or down.
Position it as high as possible so that the shoulder section of the belt is across the seat occupant's collarbone and not across the throat.
Page 67
SAFETY
65
The seat belt should be positioned over the shoulder (not over the arm)
4. Tighten the lap section of the seat belt by pulling the diagonal section upward toward the shoulder.
The lap section of the belt must be positioned low on the hips (not pressing against the abdomen)
Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled up into its retractor and that the shoulder and lap belts are taut.
WARNING
Never use a seat belt for more than one occupant. Never wear the shoulder portion of the belt under the arm, behind the back or otherwise out of position. Such use could cause injury in the event of an accident. As seat belts lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretching, they should be replaced after any collision, even if they appear to be undamaged.

Unbuckling the seat belt

To remove the seat belt, press the red section on the seat belt receptacle. Before exiting the vehi­cle, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the belt back into the retractor slot.

Door and seat belt reminders

The door and seat belt reminders are intended to alert all occupants of the vehicle that their seat belts should be buckled before the vehicle begins to move or if a door, the hood, trunk or fuel filler door have not been closed properly.

Graphics in the instrument panel

Warning colors for doors/trunk vary depending on the vehicle's speed (generic illustration)
The instrument panel graphic shows the seats where seat belts are not buckled.
The same graphic also indicates if a door, the hood, trunk or fuel filler door is/are open.
This graphic disappears automatically after approx. 6 seconds or if the if the O button on the steering wheel keypad is pressed.

Seat belt reminder

Seat belt reminder light in ceiling console
The seat belt reminder consists of an audible signal, an indicator light near the rearview mirror and a symbol in the instrument panel that alert all occu-
pants of the vehicle to buckle their seat belts.
The audible signal is speed-dependent and will sound for several seconds.
If the driver's or a passenger's seat belt is not buckled, this will be indicated in the instrument panel.
Child seats are not included in the seat belt reminder system.
Front seats
An audible signal and an indicator light will remind the driver and front seat passenger to buckle their seat belts.
Rear seats
The rear seat belt reminder has two functions.
It indicates which seat belts are buckled in the rear seats. This will also be displayed in an instrument panel graphic. This graphic can be erased by pressing the O button on the steering wheel keypad.
It also provides audio and visual reminders if a rear seat belt is unbuckled while the vehi­cle is in motion. The reminders will disappear when the seat belt has been buckled again.

Door/hood/trunk/fuel filler door reminder

If a door, the hood, trunk or fuel filler door is/are not properly closed, this will be indicated in a graphic in the instrument panel. Stop the vehicle safely and close the source of the reminder.
If the vehicle is moving at a speed under approx.6 mph (10 km/h), the information symbol will illuminate in the instrument panel.
At speeds above approx. 6 mph (10 km/h), the warning symbol will illu­minate in the instrument panel.

Airbag system

As an enhancement to the three-point seat belts, your vehicle is equipped with an airbag system.
WARNING
If the airbag warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it illuminates while you are driving, have the vehicle inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible.
Never try to repair any component or part of the airbag systems yourself. Any inter­ference in the system could cause mal­function and serious injury. All work on these systems should be performed by a trained and qualified Volvo service techni­cian.
WARNING
If your vehicle has become flood-damaged in any way (e.g., soaked carpeting/standing water on the floor of the vehicle), do not attempt to start the vehicle. This may cause airbag deployment which could result in seri­ous injury. Have the vehicle towed to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for repairs.
Before attempting to tow the vehicle:
1. Switch off the ignition for at least 10 minutes and disconnect the battery.
2. Follow the instructions for manually over­riding the shiftlock system.

Deployed airbags

WARNING
If any of the airbags have deployed:
Do not attempt to drive the vehicle. Have it towed to a qualified repair facility.
If necessary seek medical attentIon.

Driver/passenger side airbags

The front airbags supplement the three-point seat belts. For these airbags to provide the pro­tection intended, seat belts must be worn at all times.
Driver and passenger side front airbags

The front airbag system

The front airbag system includes gas generators surrounded by the airbags, and deceleration sen­sors that activate the gas generators, causing the airbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas.
As the movement of the seats' occupants com­presses the airbags, some of the gas is expelled at a controlled rate to provide better cushioning. Both seat belt pretensioners also deploy, mini­mizing seat belt slack. The entire process, includ­ing inflation and deflation of the airbags, takes approximately one fifth of a second.
Page 70

SAFETY
68
The location of the front airbags is indicated by SRS AIRBAG embossed on the steering wheel pad and above the glove compartment, and by decals on both sun visors and on the front and far right side of the dash.
The driver's side front airbag is folded and located in the steering wheel hub.
The knee airbag is folded on the underside of the dashboard on the driver's side. The text AIRBAG is embossed on the panel.
The passenger's side front airbag is folded behind a panel located above the glove compart­ment.
WARNING
The airbags in the vehicle are designed to be a SUPPLEMENT to–not a replace­ment for–the three-point seat belts. For maximum protection, wear seat belts at all times. Be aware that no system can pre­vent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.
Never drive with your hands on the steer­ing wheel pad/airbag housing.
The front airbags are designed to help prevent serious injury. Deployment occurs very quickly and with considerable force. During normal deployment and depend­ing on variables such as seating position, one may experience abrasions, bruises, swellings, or other injuries as a result from deployment of one or both of the airbags.
When installing any accessory equipment, make sure that the front airbag system is not damaged. Any interference in the sys­tem could cause malfunction.

Front airbag deployment

The front airbags are designed to deploy dur­ing certain frontal or front-angular collisions, impacts, or decelerations, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and object impacted. The airbags may also deploy in
certain non-frontal collisions where rapid deceleration occurs.
The airbag system sensors, which trigger the front airbags, are designed to react to both the impact of the collision and the inertial forces generated by it, and to determine if the intensity of the collision is sufficient for the seat belt pretensioners and/or airbags to be deployed.
However, not all frontal collisions activate the front airbags.
If the collision involves a nonrigid object (e.g., a snow drift or bush), or a rigid, fixed object at a low speed, the front airbags will not nec­essarily deploy.
Front airbags do not normally deploy in a side impact collision, in a collision from the rear or in a rollover situation.
The amount of damage to the bodywork does not reliably indicate if the airbags should have deployed or not.
Page 71
SAFETY
}}
69
NOTE
Deployment of front airbags occurs only one time during an accident. In a collision where deployment occurs, the airbags and seat belt pretensioners activate. Some noise occurs and a small amount of powder is released. The release of the powder may appear as smoke-like matter. This is a normal characteristic and does not indicate fire.
Volvo's front airbags use special sensors that are integrated with the front seat buckles. The point at which the airbag deploys is determined by whether or not the seat belt is being used, as well as the severity of the collision.
Collisions can occur where only one of the airbags deploys. If the impact is less severe, but severe enough to present a clear injury risk, the airbags are triggered at partial capacity. If the impact is more severe, the airbags are triggered at full capacity.
WARNING
Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that occupants under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened. See also the Occu­pant Weight Sensor information.
Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can impair the steering of your vehicle. Other safety sys­tems can also be damaged.
The smoke and dust formed when the airbags are deployed can cause skin and eye irritation in the event of prolonged exposure.
Should you have questions about any component in the SRS system, please contact a trained and qualified Volvo service technician or Volvo cus­tomer support:

Occupant weight sensor (p. 70)

Occupant weight sensor

The Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) is designed to meet the regulatory requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208 and is designed to disable (will not inflate) the passenger's side front airbag under certain conditions.
Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) indicator light

Disabling the passenger's side front airbag

Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seat of any vehi­cle with a front passenger side airbag and be properly restrained for their size and weight.
The OWS works with sensors that are part of the front passenger's seat and seat belt. The sensors are designed to detect the presence of a properly
Page 73

}}
71
seated occupant and determine if the passeng­er's side front airbag should be enabled (may inflate) or disabled (will not inflate).
The OWS will disable (will not inflate) the pas­senger's side front airbag when:
the front passenger's seat is unoccupied, or has small/medium objects in the front seat,
the system determines that an infant is pres­ent in a rear-facing infant seat that is instal­led according to the manufacturer's instruc­tions,
the system determines that a small child is present in a forward-facing child restraint that is installed according to the manufactur­er's instructions,
the system determines that a small child is present in a booster seat,
a front passenger takes his/her weight off of the seat for a period of time,
a child or a small person occupies the front passenger's seat.
The OWS uses a PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp which will illuminate and stay on to remind you that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indi­cator lamp is located in the overhead console, near the base of the rearview mirror.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched on, the OWS indicator light will illuminate for several sec­onds while the system performs a self-diag­nostic test.
However, if a fault is detected in the system:
The OWS indicator light will stay on
The SRS warning light will come on and stay on and a text message will be displayed.
WARNING
If a fault in the system is detected and indi­cated as described, be aware that the pas­senger's side front airbag will not deploy in the event of a collision. In this case, the SRS system and Occupant Weight Sensor should be inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible.
WARNING
Never try to open, remove, or repair any components in the OWS system. This could result in system malfunction. Main­tenance or repairs should only be carried out by an a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
The front passenger's seat should not be modified in any way. This could reduce pressure on the seat cushion, which might interfere with the OWS system's function.

Volvo recommends that children always be properly restrained in appropriate child restraints in the rear seats. Do not assume that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled unless the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is lit. Make sure the child restraint is properly installed. If there is any doubt as to the status of the passenger's side front airbag, move the child restraint to the rear seat.
The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate) the passenger's side front airbag in the event of a collision anytime the system senses that a per­son of adult size is sitting properly in the front passenger's seat. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will be off and remain off.
If a person of adult size is sitting in the front pas­senger's seat, but the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is on, it is possible that the
person isn't sitting properly in the seat. If this happens:
Turn the vehicle off and ask the person to place the seatback in an upright position.
Have the person sit upright in the seat, cen­tered on the seat cushion, with the person's legs comfortably extended.
Restart the vehicle and have the person remain in this position for about two minutes. This will allow the system to detect that per­son and enable the passenger's frontal air­bag.
If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp remains on even after this, the person should be advised to ride in the rear seat.
This condition reflects limitations of the OWS classification capability. It does not indicate OWS malfunction.

Modifications

If you are considering modifying your vehicle in any way to accommodate a disability, for example by altering or adapting the driver's or front pas­senger's seat(s) and/or airbag systems, please contact Volvo at:

WARNING
No objects that add to the total weight on the seat should be placed on the front passenger's seat. If a child is seated in the front passenger's seat with any addi­tional weight, this extra weight could cause the OWS system to enable the air­bag, which might cause it to deploy in the event of a collision, thereby injuring the child.
The seat belt should never be wrapped around an object on the front passeng­er's seat. This could interfere with the OWS system's function.
The front passenger's seat belt should never be used in a way that exerts more pressure on the passenger than normal. This could increase the pressure exerted on the weight sensor by a child, and could result in the airbag being enabled, which might cause it to deploy in the event of a collision, thereby injuring the child.
WARNING
Keep the following points in mind with respect to the OWS system. Failure to follow these instructions could adversely affect the system's function and result in serious injury to the occupant of the front passenger's seat:
The full weight of the front seat passen­ger should always be on the seat cushion. The passenger should never lift him/ herself off the seat cushion using the armrest in the door or the center console, by pressing the feet on the floor, by sit­ting on the edge of the seat cushion, or by pressing against the backrest in a way that reduces pressure on the seat cush­ion. This could cause OWS to disable the front, passenger's side airbag.
WARNING
Do not place any type of object on the front passenger's seat in such a way that jamming, pressing, or squeezing occurs between the object and the front seat, other than as a direct result of the correct use of the Automatic Locking Retractor/ Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR) seat belt.
No objects should be placed under the front passenger's seat. This could inter­fere with the OWS system's function.

Side impact airbags

As an enhancement to the structural side impact protection built into your vehicle, it is also equip­ped with Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags.
The SIPS airbag system is designed to help increase occupant protection in the event of cer­tain side impact collisions. The SIPS airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side­impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact.
NOTE
SIPS airbag deployment (one airbag) occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by the impact. The airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.

Components in the SIPS airbag system

This SIPS airbag system consists of a gas gener­ator, the side airbag modules built into the out­board sides of both front seat backrests, and electronic sensors/wiring.
WARNING
The SIPS airbag system is a supplement to the structural Side Impact Protection System and the three-point seat belt sys­tem. It is not designed to deploy during collisions from the front or rear of the vehicle or in rollover situations.
The use of seat covers on the front seats may impede SIPS airbag deployment.
No objects, accessory equipment or stick­ers may be placed on, attached to or installed near the SIPS airbag system or in the area affected by SIPS airbag deployment.
Never try to open or repair any compo­nents of the SIPS airbag system. This should be done only by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
In order for the SIPS airbag to provide its best protection, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the occupants of the vehicle in the event of an accident.

Inflatable curtains

The inflatable curtain is designed to help protect the heads of the occupants of the front seats and the occupant of the outboard rear seating positions in certain side impact collisions.
This system consists of inflatable curtains located along the sides of the roof liners, stretching from the center of both front side windows to the rear edge of the rear side door windows.
In certain side impacts, both the Inflatable Cur­tain (IC) and the side Impact Airbag System (SIPS airbag) will deploy. The IC and the SIPS airbag deploy simultaneously.
WARNING
Never try to open or repair any compo­nents of the IC system. This should be done only by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
Never hang heavy items from the ceiling handles. This could impede deployment of the Inflatable Curtain.
The rear seat should not be loaded to a level higher than 4 in. (10 cm) below the upper edge of the rear side windows. Objects placed higher than this level could impede the function of the Inflat­able Curtain.
In order for the IC to provide its best pro­tection, both front seat occupants and both outboard rear seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened; adults using the seat belt and children using the proper child restraint system.

Child safety

Children should always be seated safely when traveling in the vehicle.

General information

Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint systems for all occupants including children. Remember that, regardless of age and size, a child should always be properly restrained in a vehicle.
Your vehicle is also equipped with ISOFIX/ LATCH attachments, which make it more conven­ient to install child seats.
Some restraint systems for children are designed to be secured in the vehicle by lap belts or the lap portion of a lap-shoulder belt. Such child restraint systems can help protect children in vehicles in the event of an accident only if they are used properly. However, children could be endangered in a crash if the child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle. Failure to fol­low the installation instructions for your child restraint can result in your child striking the vehi­cle's interior in a sudden stop.
Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable substitute for a child restraint system. In an acci­dent, a child held in a person's arms can be crushed between the vehicle's interior and an unrestrained person. The child could also be injured by striking the interior, or by being ejected from the vehicle during a sudden maneuver or
impact. The same can also happen if the infant or child rides unrestrained on the seat. Other occu­pants should also be properly restrained to help reduce the chance of injuring or increasing the injury of a child.
All states and provinces have legislation govern­ing how and where children should be carried in a vehicle. Find out the regulations existing in your state or province. Recent accident statistics have shown that children are safer in rear seating positions than front seating positions when prop­erly restrained. A child restraint system can help protect a child in a vehicle. Here's what to look for when selecting a child restraint system:
It should have a label certifying that it meets applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stand­ards (FMVSS 213) – or in Canada, CMVSS 213.
Make sure the child restraint system is approved for the child's height, weight and development – the label required by the standard or regulation, or instructions for infant restraints, typically pro­vide this information.
In using any child restraint system, we urge you to carefully look over the instructions that are provided with the restraint. Be sure you under­stand them and can use the device properly and safely in this vehicle. A misused child restraint system can result in increased injuries for both the infant or child and other occupants in the vehicle.
When a child has outgrown the child safety seat, you should use the rear seat with the standard seat belt fastened. The best way to help protect the child here is to place the child on a cushion so that the seat belt is properly located on the hips. Legislation in your state or province may mandate the use of a child seat or cushion in combination with the seat belt, depending on the child's age and/or size. Please check local regu­lations.
A specially designed and tested booster cushion and backrest can be obtained from your Volvo retailer. See also the article "Integrated booster cushion."
Page 80
||
SAFETY
78
WARNING
Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that children under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened.
Sedan models: Keep vehicle doors and trunk locked and keep remote controls out of a child’s reach. Unsupervised chil­dren could lock themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.
On hot days, the temperature in the vehi­cle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure to these high temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-rela­ted injury or death. Small children are par­ticularly at risk. Never leave children unat­tended in a vehicle.
Child seats should always be registered.

Volvo's recommendations

Why does Volvo believe that no child should sit in the front seat of a car? It's quite simple really. A front airbag is a very powerful device designed, by law, to help protect an adult.
Because of the size of the airbag and its speed of inflation, a child should never be placed in the front seat, even if he or she is properly belted or strapped into a child safety seat. Volvo has been an innovator in safety for over seventy-five years, and we'll continue to do our part. But we need your help. Please remember to put your children in the back seat, and buckle them up.
WARNING
A child restraint should never be reused if:
The vehicle has been involved in a colli­sion, no matter how minor
Its history is unknown
It is older than the manufacturer's expira­tion date
Volvo has some very specific recommendations
Always wear your seat belt.
Airbags are a SUPPLEMENTAL safety device which, when used with a three-point seat belt can help reduce serious injuries during certain types of accidents. Volvo rec­ommends that you do not disconnect the air­bag system in your vehicle.
Volvo strongly recommends that everyone in the vehicle be properly restrained.
Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 4 feet
7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seat of any vehicle with a front passenger side airbag.
Drive safely!

Child restraints

Suitable child restraints should always be used when children travel in the vehicle.

Child restraint systems

Infant seat
There are three main types of child restraint sys­tems: infant seats, convertible seats and booster cushions. They are classified according to the child's age and size.
The child restraint should be secured using a three-point seat belt, ISOFIX/LATCH anchors or top tether anchors.
Convertible seat
WARNING
A child seat should never be used in the front passenger seat of any vehicle with a front passenger airbag – not even if the "Passen­ger airbag off" symbol near the rear-view mir­ror is illuminated (on vehicles equipped with Occupant Weight Sensor). If the severity of an accident were to cause the airbag to inflate, this could lead to serious injury or death to a child seated in this position.
Booster cushion
WARNING
Always refer to the child restraint manufactur­er's instructions for detailed information on securing the restraint.

SAFETY
80
WARNING
When not in use, keep the child restraint system secured or remove it from the passenger compartment to help prevent it from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop or collision.
A small child's head represents a consid­erable part of its total weight and its neck is still very weak. Volvo recommends that children up to age 4 travel, properly restrained, facing rearward. In addition, Volvo recommends that children should ride rearward facing, properly restrained, as long as possible.

Automatic Locking Retractor/ Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/ ELR)

To make child seat installation easier, each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with a locking mechanism to help keep the seat belt taut.
When attaching the seat belt to a child seat:
1. Attach the seat belt to the child seat accord­ing to the child seat manufacturer's instruc­tions.
2. Pull the seat belt out as far as possible.
3. Insert the seat belt latch plate into the buckle (lock) in the usual way.
4. Release the seat belt and pull it taut around the child seat.
A sound from the seat belt retractor will be audi­ble at this time and is normal. The belt will now be locked in place. This function is automatically disabled when the seat belt is unlocked and the belt is fully retracted.
WARNING
Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt properly fastened.

Child restraint registration and recalls

Child restraints could be recalled for safety rea­sons. You must register your child restraint to be reached in a recall. To stay informed about child safety seat recalls, be sure to fill out and return the registration card that comes with new child restraints.
Child restraint recall information is readily availa­ble in both the U.S. and Canada. For recall infor­mation in the U.S., call the U.S. Government's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393 or go to http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/ recalls/register/childseat/index.cfm. In Canada, visit Transport Canada's Child Safety website at http://www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety/childsafety/ menu.htm.

Route the seat belt through the convertible seat
WARNING
Always use a convertible seat that is suitable for the child's age and size. See the converti­ble seat manufacturer's recommendations.
1. Place the convertible seat in the rear seat of the vehicle.
WARNING
A small child's head represents a consider­able part of its total weight and its neck is still very weak. Volvo recommends that children up to age 4 travel, properly restrained, facing rearward. In addition, Volvo recommends that children should ride rearward facing, properly restrained, as long as possible.
Convertible child seats should be installed in the rear seat only.
A rear-facing convertible seat should not be positioned behind the driver's seat unless there is adequate space for safe installation.
2. Attach the seat belt to the convertible seat according to the manufacturer's instructions.

ISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors

Lower anchors for ISOFIX/LATCH-equipped child seats are located in the rear, outboard seats, hidden below the backrest cushions.

Using the ISOFIX/LATCH lower child seat anchors

Location of the ISOFIX/LATCH anchors
Symbols on the seat back upholstery mark the ISOFIX/LATCH anchor positions as shown. To access the anchors, kneel on the seat cushion and locate the anchors by feel. Always follow your child seat manufacturer's installation instructions, and use both ISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors and top tethers whenever possible.
To access the anchors
1. Put the child restraint in position.
2. Kneel on the child restraint to press down the seat cushion and locate the anchors by feel.
3. Fasten the attachment on the child restraint's lower straps to the ISOFIX/ LATCH/LATCH lower anchors.
4. Firmly tension the lower child seat straps according to the manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING
Volvo's ISOFIX/LATCH anchors conform to FMVSS/CMVSS standards. Always refer to the child restraint system's manual for weight and size ratings.
NOTE
The rear seat's center position is not equipped with ISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors. When installing a child restraint in this position, attach the restraint's top tether strap (if it is so equipped) to the top tether anchorage point and secure the restraint with the vehicle's center seat belt.
Always follow your child seat manufactur­er's installation instructions, and use both ISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors and top tethers whenever possible.
Fasten the attachment correctly to the ISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors
WARNING
Be sure to fasten the attachment cor­rectly to the anchor (see the illustration). If the attachment is not correctly fas­tened, the child restraint may not be properly secured in the event of a colli­sion.
The ISOFIX/LATCH lower child restraint anchors are only intended for use with child seats positioned in the outboard seating positions. These anchors are not certified for use with any child restraint that is positioned in the center seating position. When securing a child restraint in the center seating position, use only the vehicle's center seat belt.

Top tether anchors

Your Volvo is equipped with child restraint top tether anchorages, located on the parcel shelf, for all three seating positions in the rear seat.

Child restraint anchorages

Top tether anchors and symbols on the rear parcel shelf.
Securing a child seat
1. Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
2. Route the top tether strap under the head restraint and attach it to the anchor.
3. Attach lower tether straps to the lower ISO­FIX/LATCH anchors. If the child restraint is not equipped with lower tether straps, or the restraint is used in the center seating posi­tion, follow instructions for securing a child restraint using the Automatic Locking Retractor seat belt.
Firmly tension all straps.
Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's instructions for information on securing the child seat.
WARNING
Always refer to the recommendations made by the child restraint manufacturer.
Volvo recommends that the top tether anchors be used when installing a for­ward-facing child restraint.
Never route a top tether strap over the top of the head restraint. The strap should be routed beneath the head restraint.
Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts or harnesses. The ancho­rages are not able to withstand excessive forces on them in the event of collision if full harness seat belts or adult seat belts are installed to them. An adult who uses a belt anchored in a child restraint anchor­age runs a great risk of suffering severe injuries should a collision occur.
Do not install rear speakers that require the removal of the top tether anchors or interfere with the proper use of the top tether strap.
