Drive-E ‒ purer driving pleasure

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 vehicle'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.

Data recording

As part of Volvo's commitment to safety and quality, certain information is recorded regar­ding vehicle operation, functionality and inci­dents.
US market only:
EDR
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. NOTE: 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 no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely 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. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
ASDR
This vehicle is equipped with an Active Safety Data Recorder (ASDR). This data recorder can record information related to the usage of the car, functional errors and active safety actuations (e.g. auto brake). The information saved is used by technicians for service and maintenance to diagnose and repair possible faults that has occurred in the vehicle and to fulfil certain legal requirements. The registered data can also, in congregated form, be used for research- and product development – purposes to continuously improve the safety and quality of Volvo Cars. For more information contact your local Volvo retailer.

Canadian market only:
This vehicle is equipped with an “Event Data Recorder” (EDR). The main purpose of the EDR is to register and record data in traffic accidents or accident-like situations, e.g. if an airbag deploys or if the vehicle hits an obstacle in the road. This data is recorded in order to help understand how the vehicle's systems perform in these types of situations. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, usually 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record data in traffic accidents or accident-like situa­tions such as:
•
How the various systems in the vehicle performed;
•
Whether the driver and passenger seat belts were tightened/buckled;
•
The driver's use of the accelerator/brake pedal;
•
How fast the vehicle was moving.
This data can help provide a better under­standing of the circumstances in which traffic accidents and injuries occur. The EDR records data only if a non-trivial accident situation occurs. EDR does not record any data during normal driving conditions. The system also never registers data on who is driving the vehi­cle or the geographical location of the acci-
dent or near-accident. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifia­ble information that is routinely acquired dur­ing an accident investigation. Special equip­ment and access to either the vehicle or the EDR is required to read this recorded data.
In addition to the EDR, the vehicle is equipped with a number of computers that continuously control and monitor the vehicle's performance. These computers may record data during nor­mal driving conditions, particularly if they detect a fault relating to the vehicle's opera­tion and functionality or upon activation of the vehicle's active driver support functions (e.g. City Safety or the auto-brake function).
Some of this recorded data is required by technicians performing service and mainte­nance in order to diagnose and rectify any faults that may have occurred in the vehicle. The recorded information is also needed to enable Volvo to fulfill legal and other regula­tory requirements. Information registered in the vehicle is stored in its computers until the vehicle is serviced or repaired.
In addition to the above, the recorded informa­tion may be used in aggregated form for research and product development purposes in order to continuously improve the safety and quality of Volvo vehicles.
Volvo will not provide this information to any third parties without the vehicle owner's con­sent. However, national legislation and regula­tions may require Volvo to disclose this type of information to law enforcement or other authorities that can claim a legal right to the information. Special technical equipment, which Volvo and workshops that have entered agreements with Volvo have access to, is required to read and interpret the recorded data. Volvo is responsible for ensuring that information provided to Volvo in conjunction with service and maintenance is stored and handled securely and in compliance with applicable legal requirements. For more infor­mation, please contact a Volvo retailer.

Volvo Structural Parts Statement

Volvo is one of the leading companies for car 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 re-use 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

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. Part of this responsibility is avoiding distractions, includ­ing performing activities that are not directly related to controlling the vehicle in the driving environment.
Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped with 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 new features that may be found in your vehi­cle:

Safety

The vehicle is equipped with a number of safety systems that work together to help protect the vehicle's driver and passengers in the event of an accident.
The vehicle is equipped with a number of sen­sors that may react in the event of an accident and activate different safety systems, such as the airbag system and seat belt tensioners. Depending on the specific conditions of the accident, e.g. collisions at certain angles, over­turning or swerving, the systems react differ­ently to help provide good protection.
There are also mechanical safety systems such as the Whiplash Protection System. The vehicle is also built so that a large part of the force of a collision is distributed to the vehi­cle's members, pillars, floor, roof and other parts of the body.
After an accident, the vehicle's safety mode may be activated if any important function in the vehicle has been damaged.

Warning symbol in the instrument panel

The warning symbol in the instru­ment panel illuminates when the vehicle's electrical system is in igni-
tion mode II. The symbol will go out after approx. 6 seconds if no faults are detected in the vehicle's safety systems.
WARNING
If the warning symbol remains illuminated or switches on while driving and the mes­sage
SRS airbag Service urgent Drive to
workshop is displayed in the instrument
panel, this indicates that something in the safety system is not functioning properly. Volvo recommends contacting an author­ized Volvo workshop for repairs as soon as possible.
WARNING
Never attempt to alter or repair any of the vehicle's safety systems yourself. Incor­rectly performed repairs to any system could impair function and lead to serious injury. Volvo recommends contacting an authorized Volvo workshop.
If this dedicated warning symbol is not functioning, the general warning symbol will illuminate instead and the same message will be displayed
in the instrument panel.

Safety during pregnancy

It is important that seat belts are worn cor­rectly during pregnancy and that pregnant drivers adjust their seating position accord­ingly.

Seat belt

The seat belt should fit closely against the shoulder, with the diagonal section between the breasts and to the side of the stomach.
The lap section of the seat belt should lie flat over the thighs and as far as possible under the stomach. Never let it ride upward. Remove unnecessary slack and make sure the seat belt fits as close as possible to the body. Make sure there are no twists in the seat belt.

Seating position

As pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers should adjust the seat and steering wheel to a
position that allows them to retain full control of the vehicle (which means they should be able to easily reach the steering wheel and foot pedals). Try to maintain as much distance as possible between the stomach and the steering wheel.

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.

Whiplash Protection System

The Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) is designed to help reduce the risk of whiplash­type injuries. The system consists of energy absorbing backrests and seat cushions as well as specially designed head restraints in the front seats.
WHIPS is activated in the event of a rear-end collision and adapted to the angle and speed of the collision and to the characteristics of the colliding vehicle.
When WHIPS is activated, the front seat backrests move rearward and the seat cush­ions move downward to change the seating positions of the driver and front seat passen­ger. This movement helps absorb some of the forces that could result in whiplash.
WARNING
WHIPS is a supplement to the seat belt. Always wear your seat belt.
WARNING
Do not attempt to alter or repair the seat or WHIPS on your own. Volvo recommends contacting an authorized Volvo workshop.
If the front seats have been subjected to severe stress, e.g. in a collision, the seats must be replaced. Even if the seats appear undamaged, some of their protective prop­erties may have been lost.
Do not place any objects on the floor behind or under the front seats or on the rear seat that could prevent WHIPS from functioning correctly.
Page 49
SAFETY
}}
* Option/accessory.
47
WARNING
Do not squeeze box-like cargo between the rear seat cushion and the front seat back­rest.
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.
WARNING
If a rear seat backrest is folded down or if a rear-facing child restraint is being used in the rear seat, the seat in front must be moved forward so that it does not come into contact with the backrest or child restraint.

Seating position

For WHIPS to provide good protection, the driver and passenger must be seated correctly and the system's function must not be impe­ded in any way.
Set the front seat to the correct seating posi­tion before starting to drive.
The driver and the front seat passenger should sit in the center of the seat with their heads as close as possible to the head restraints.

Seat belts

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

Seat belt maintenance

Check periodically that the seat belts are in good condition. Use water and a mild deter­gent for cleaning. Check the seat belt mecha­nism's function as follows: attach the seat belt and pull rapidly on the strap.

WARNING
•
Never repair the belt yourself. Repairs should only be performed by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
•
Any device used to induce slack into the shoulder belt portion of the three­point belt system will have a detrimen­tal effect on the amount of protection available 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 any type of child restraint in the front passenger seat. We recom­mend that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt properly fastened.

Buckling and unbuckling seat belts

Make sure that all passengers have buckled their seat belts before starting to drive.

Buckling seat belts

1. Pull out the belt slowly and make sure it is not twisted or damaged.
NOTE
The seat belt is equipped with a seat belt retractor that will lock up in the following situations:
•
if the belt is pulled out too quickly.
•
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) is equipped with an ALR func­tion, which is designed to keep the seat belt taut when installing a child restraint. ALR is activated when 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. The seat belt can now only be fed into the retractor, not pulled out. This function is automatically disabled when the seat belt is unbuckled and fully retracted.

2. Buckle the seat belt by pushing the latch plate into the receptacle.
> A distinct "click" indicates that the belt
is locked into place.
WARNING
Always insert the seat belt latch plate into the belt buckle on the correct side. Failure to do so could cause the seat belts and belt buckles to malfunction in a collision. There is a risk of serious injury.
3. The height of the seat belts in the front seats can be adjusted.
Press the button on the seat belt holder and move the belt up or down.
Position the belt as high as possible with­out it chafing against the neck.
The belt should be positioned closely over the shoul­der (against the collarbone, not down over the arm).
4. Tighten the lap section of the seat belt over the hips by pulling the diagonal sec­tion upward toward the shoulder.
The lap section of the seat belt should be positioned low on the hips (not against the abdomen).

SAFETY
* Option/accessory.
50
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.
WARNING
Do not use clips or fasten the belts around hooks or other parts of the interior. This will prevent the seat belt from fitting properly.
WARNING
Never damage the seat belts and never insert any foreign objects into the belt buckle. This may cause the seat belts and belt buckles to malfunction in a collision. There is a risk of serious injury.

Unbuckling seat belts

1. Press the red button on the seat belt receptacle and make sure the seat belt retracts fully into the retractor slot.
2. If it does not fully retract, guide the belt manually into the slot and make sure it does not hang loose.

Seat belt tensioners

The vehicle is equipped with standard and electric* seat belt tensioners that can help tension the seat belt in a critical situation or collision.

Standard seat belt tensioners

The seat belts on the front seats and rear out­board seats are equipped with standard seat belt tensioners.
In a collision of sufficiently violent force, the seat belt tensioners will tension the seat belts in order to more effectively restrain the occu­pants.

Electric seat belt tensioners*

The driver's and front passenger's seat belts are equipped with electric seat belt tensioners.
The seat belt tensioners interact and can be activated in conjunction with the City Safety and Rear Collision Warning driver support sys­tems. In critical situations, such as if the vehi­cle brakes suddenly, begins to skid or runs off the road (e.g if the vehicle rolls into a ditch, lifts off the ground or hits an obstacle in the road), or if there is a risk of collision, the seat belts can be pulled taut by the seat belt ten­sioner's electric motor.
The electric seat belt tensioner helps to posi­tion the occupant more effectively in the seat, which reduces the risk of the occupant strik­ing the interior of the passenger compartment

51
and improves the effect of other safety sys­tems such as the airbags.
When a critical situation has passed, the seat belt and the electric seat belt tensioner are reset automatically. However, they can also be reset manually.
WARNING
Never attempt to alter or repair the seat belt on your own. Volvo recommends con­tacting an authorized Volvo workshop.
If the seat belt has been exposed to extreme forces, e.g. in conjunction with a collision, the entire seat belt must be replaced. Even if the seat belt appears undamaged, some of its protective proper­ties may have been lost. Also replace the seat belt if it is worn or damaged. The new seat belt must be type approved and intended for the same seating position as the replaced seat belt.

WARNING
If your vehicle has become water-damaged in any way (e.g., soaked floor mats/stand­ing water on the floor of the vehicle), do not attempt to start the engine. This may cause airbag deployment, which could result in serious injury. Volvo recommends towing the vehicle directly to an authorized Volvo workshop.
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 an authorized work­shop.

Driver/passenger-side airbags

As a supplement to the seat belts, the vehicle is equipped with driver and passenger side front airbags.
Driver/passenger side front airbags.
In a frontal collision, the airbags help protect the driver's and passenger's head, neck, face and chest and the driver's knees and legs.
A collision of a sufficiently violent force will trigger the sensors and one or more airbags will inflate. The airbag helps cushion the initial impact of the collision for the passenger. The airbag deflates when compressed by the colli­sion. A small amount of powder will also be released from the airbag. This may appear to be smoke and is normal. The entire process, from inflation to deflation of the airbag, occurs within tenths of a second.
NOTE
The sensors react differently depending on the circumstances of the accident and whether or not the seat belt is used. This applies to all belt positions.
There may therefore be accident situations in which only one (or none) of the airbags are deployed. The sensors monitor the impact of the collision and react accord­ingly to deploy one, several or no airbags.
WARNING
The seat belt and the airbag work together. If the seat belt is not used or is used incor­rectly, the airbag may not provide the intended protection in a collision.
To help prevent injury in the event the air­bag is deployed, passengers should sit as upright as possible, with their feet on the floor and their backs against the seat back­rest.
WARNING
Volvo recommends contacting an author­ized Volvo workshop for repairs. Incorrectly performed repairs to the airbag system could impair function and lead to serious injury.

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. The belt tensioners minimize slack in the seat belts and are activated for occu­pants wearing their seat belts. The entire proc­ess, from inflation to deflation of the airbag, occurs within tenths of a second.
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.

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 of 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's sensors, which trigger the front airbags, are designed to deter­mine if the collision is powerful enough to activate the belt tensioners and/or the air­bags.
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.

NOTE
•
Deployment of front airbags occurs only one time during an accident. In a collision where deployment occurs, the airbags and seat belt tensioners 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 140 cm (4 feet 7 inches) in height who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened. See also the Occupant Classification System 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 Classification System (p. 56)

Occupant Classification System

The Occupant Classification System (OCS) 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.
OCS indicator light.
The front passenger-side airbag is either ena­bled or disabled depending on the classifica­tion of the passenger in the front passenger seat.
Volvo follows NHTSA's recommendations and recommends that ALL children up to and including 12 years of age sit in the rear seat and are restrained in a suitable manner appro­priate to their height and weight. This is strongly recommended for children in rear-fac­ing child seats.

Occupant Classification System function

OCS works in combination with sensors in the front passenger seat. The sensors are intended to detect the presence, and classifi­cation of, an occupant sitting correctly and determine whether the front passenger airbag should be enabled (able to be deployed) or disabled (cannot be deployed).
The OCS uses an indicator light with the text
PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF, which will illu-
minate and stay on to remind you that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled. The
PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator light is
located in the ceiling console near the bracket for the rearview mirror.
Always pay attention that the status of the indicator light shows the correct classification both before and while driving when the front passenger seat is occupied.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched on, the OCS indicator light will illuminate for several seconds while the system performs a self­diagnostic test. The indicator light will then go out or remain illuminated, depending on the classification of the passenger in the front passenger seat.
If a malfunction is detected in the system, the OCS indicator light will remain illuminated and the SRS warning symbol will be shown in the
instrument panel along with a text message.
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. If this occurs, have the airbag system and Occupant Classifi­cation System checked by a workshop as soon as possible. Volvo recommends con­tacting an authorized Volvo workshop.

Classification of adult

To help ensure accurate classification when a person of adult size is sitting in the front pas­senger seat, the passenger must:
•
be wearing their seat belt
•
sit normally in the seat, in the center of the seat cushion
•
sit upright in the seat with their shoulders against the backrest
•
have their legs comfortably extended with their feet on the floor.
Page 60

SAFETY
58
Correct seating position.
Example of incorrect seating position - the passenger must not have slid forward on the seat cushion.
Example of incorrect seating position - the passenger must be seated with their feet on the floor.
Example of incorrect seating position - the passenger must not fold the backrest to a lying position.
Remember the following when an adult sits in the front passenger seat:
•
The passenger must never get up from the seat cushion using the armrest in the door
or center console, by pushing their feet against the floor or by pushing against the backrest.
•
The passenger must never sit on the side of the seat cushion, slide forward on the seat cushion or fold the backrest to a lying position.
•
The passenger must never wear wet or thick clothing, e.g. ski wear or padded gar­ments.
•
Never place any objects between the pas­senger and the seat cushion, e.g. pillows, heating blankets or ordinary blankets, seat liners or mats.
•
Never place a radio transmitter (e.g. hunt­ing radio or walkie-talkie) or device that is being charged (e.g. cellular phone, tablet or computer) on the seat cushion. Never let anyone sitting on the passenger seat use a radio transmitter or device that is being charged.
WARNING
Failure to follow the above instructions could adversely affect the Occupant Classi­fication System functions and result in death or serious injury.
If a person of adult size is sitting in the front passenger's seat, but the OCS indicator lamp
Page 61
SAFETY
}}
59
is on, it is possible that the person isn't sitting properly in the seat.
If this occurs, turn off the vehicle and ask the person to follow the above instructions for accurate classification. 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 OCS indicator lamp remains on even after this, the person should be advised to ride in the rear seat.
This may indicate restrictions in the OCS clas­sification ability, e.g. that the person is too light to be classified as an adult. It does not need to indicate an OCS error.

Classification of child

Volvo follows NHTSA's recommendations and recommends that ALL children up to and including 12 years of age sit in the rear seat. This is strongly recommended for children in rear-facing child seats.
If a child in a child restraint is placed in the front passenger seat, the child restraint must be installed according to the manufacturer's instructions to help ensure accurate classifica­tion.
Remember the following if a child in a child seat sits in the front passenger seat:
•
Never place any items or accessories on the passenger seat, between the child seat and the seat cushion or near to the seat cushion.
•
Never place a radio transmitter (e.g. hunt­ing radio or walkie-talkie) or device that is being charged (e.g. cellular phone, tablet or computer) on the seat cushion. Never let anyone sitting on the passenger seat use a radio transmitter or device that is being charged.
•
Never place wet clothing or fluids on the passenger seat.
•
Always correctly position the child seat so that the entire lower section of the child seat rests against the seat cushion.
•
Always place a front-facing child seat as far back as possible against the seat back.
WARNING
Failure to follow the above instructions could adversely affect the Occupant Classi­fication System functions and result in death or serious injury.

Driver/passenger-side airbags (p. 53)

Side airbags

The side airbags, on the driver's and passen­ger sides, protect the chest and hip in a colli­sion.
The side airbags are located in the front seats' outer backrest frames and help protect the driver and front seat passenger.
A collision of a sufficiently violent force will trigger the sensors and one or more side air­bags will inflate. The side airbags inflate between the seat occupant and the door panel to help cushion the initial impact of the colli­sion. The airbag deflates when compressed by the collision. The side airbags are normally only deployed on the side of the vehicle impacted by the collision.
WARNING
Volvo recommends contacting an author­ized Volvo workshop for repairs. Incorrectly performed repairs to the side airbag sys­tem could impair function and lead to seri­ous injury.
WARNING
Do not place any objects in the area between the outer edges of the seats and the door panels, as this could impair the function of the side airbags.
Volvo recommends only using seat covers approved by Volvo. Other seat covers could prevent the side airbags from functioning properly.
WARNING
The side airbag is a supplement to the seat belt. Always wear your seat belt.

Inflatable curtain

The inflatable curtain, Inflatable Curtain (IC), helps to prevent the driver and passengers from striking their heads on the inside of the vehicle during a collision.
The inflatable curtains are installed along both sides of the inside of the roof and help protect occupants in the vehicle's outer seats. IC AIRBAG is embossed on the panels.
A collision of a sufficiently violent force will trigger the sensors and the inflatable curtain will inflate.
WARNING
Volvo recommends contacting an author­ized Volvo workshop for repair. Incorrectly performed repairs to the inflatable curtain system could impair function and lead to serious injury.
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy objects in the handle in the ceiling. The hooks are only intended for lightweight garments (not for hard objects such as umbrellas).
Never screw or mount anything to the vehi­cle's headlining, door pillars or side panels. This could impair the intended protective properties. Volvo recommends only using Volvo original parts that are approved for placement in these areas.
WARNING
If objects are loaded higher than the upper edge of the side windows, leave a 10 cm (4 in.) space between the objects and the window. Objects placed closer to this could impede the function of the inflatable curtain concealed inside the headlining.
WARNING

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
Page 66
||
SAFETY
64
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 inju-
ries 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."
WARNING
•
Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that children under 140 cm (4 feet 7 inches) in height who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened.
•
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 vehicle? 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 the field of safety since it was founded. And we have no inten-
Page 67
SAFETY
}}
65
tion of resting on our laurels. 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 three­point 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 follows NHTSA's recommendations and recommends that ALL children up to and including 12 years of age sit in the rear seat. This is strongly recommended for children in rear-facing child seats.
•
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.
Page 68

SAFETY
66
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. 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.
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.
NOTE
Prolonged installation and use of the child restraint may damage the vehicle's interior. Volvo recommends using the kick guard accessory to help protect the vehicle's interior.
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.
Page 69
SAFETY
}}
67
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://www­odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls/ register/childseat/index.cfm.

Pull out the shoulder section of the seat belt.
6. Push and pull the convertible seat along the seat belt path to ensure that it is held securely in place by the seat belt.
WARNING
It should not be possible to move the child restraint more than 2.5 cm (1 in.) in any direction along the seat belt path.
The convertible seat can be removed by unbuckling the seat belt and letting it retract completely.
Ensure that the convertible seat is securely in place.
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. 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.

4. Firmly tension all straps.
Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's instructions for information on securing the child seat.
NOTE
If the vehicle is equipped with a parcel shelf, this must be removed before a child seat can be attached in the tether anchors.
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.

SAFETY
74
•
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.

Trip computer

The vehicle's trip computer registers data while driving such as mileage, fuel consump­tion and average speed.
To help promote fuel-efficient driving, data is recorded on both current and average fuel consumption. Data from the trip computer can be displayed in the instrument panel.
Example of trip computer information in the instru­ment panel. The illustration is generic - details may vary according to vehicle model.
The trip computer includes the following gauges:
•

Trip odometer

•

Odometer

•

Current fuel consumption

•

Distance to empty tank

•
Tourist - alternative speedometer
Unit standards for distance, speed, etc. can be changed via system settings in the center dis­play.
Trip odometer
There are two trip odometers: TM and TA. TM can be reset manually and TA is reset
automatically if the vehicle is not used for four hours.
During a drive, the trip odometer registers data on:
•
Mileage
•
Driving time
•
Average speed
•
Average fuel consumption
The readings since the trip odometer's last reset are displayed.
Odometer
The odometer records the vehicle's total mile­age. This reading cannot be reset.
Current fuel consumption
This gauge shows the vehicle's fuel consump­tion at that moment. The reading is updated about once a second.
Distance to empty tank
The trip computer calculates the dis­tance that can be driven on the fuel remaining in the tank.
Page 86
||
DISPLAYS AND VOICE CONTROL
84
This calculation is based on average fuel con­sumption during the last 30 km (20 miles) and the amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
When the gauge displays "----", there is not enough fuel remaining to calculate the remain­ing mileage. Refuel as soon as possible.
NOTE
The information will change based on your driving style.
An economical driving style will generally increase how far you can drive on a certain amount of fuel.

Tourist - alternative speedometer

The alternative digital speedometer makes it easier to drive in countries where speed limit signs are shown in a different measurement unit than the one shown in the vehicle's gauges.
When used, the digital speed is displayed in the opposite unit to that shown in the analog speedometer. If mph is used in the analog speedometer, the equivalent speed in km/h will be shown in the digital speedometer.
