Shiftlock
When your vehicle is parked, the gear selec­tor is locked in the P (Park) position. To release the selector from this position, the ignition must be in mode II (see page 86) or the engine must be running. Depress the brake pedal, press the button on the front side of the gear selector and move the selec­tor from P (Park).
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
The ABS system performs a brief self-diag­nostic test when the engine has been started and driver releases the brake pedal. Another automatic test may be performed when the vehicle first reaches a speed of approximately 6 mph (10 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the ABS control module. This is normal.
Fuel filler door
Press the button on the light switch panel (see the illustration on page 280) when the vehicle is at a standstill to unlock the fuel filler door. It will relock when closed and there will be an audible click.
Points to keep in mind
Do not export your Volvo to another country before investigating that coun­try's applicable safety and exhaust emis­sion requirements. In some cases it may be difficult or impossible to comply with
these requirements. Modifications to the emission control system(s) may render your Volvo not certifiable for legal opera­tion in the U.S., Canada and other coun­tries.
All information, illustrations and specifica­tions contained in this manual are based on the latest product information availa­ble at the time of publication. Please note that some vehicles may be equipped dif­ferently, depending on special legal requirements. Optional equipment descri­bed in this manual may not be available in all markets.
Some of the illustrations shown are generic and may not depict the exact model for which this manual is intended.
Volvo reserves the right to make model changes at any time, or to change speci­fications or design without notice and without incurring obligation.

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 sys-
tems 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
Introduction
Important information
10
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.
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 information during normal driving conditions if they detect a fault relating to the vehicle’s operation and functionality. Some of the stored 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. This information may be stored in the vehi­cle’s computers for a certain period of time.
Volvo will not contribute to spreading the above-mentioned information to third parties without the consent of the vehicle’s owner. However, due to national legal requirements and regulations, Volvo may be compelled to provide information of this type to authorities such as law enforcement agencies or others who may assert a legal right to obtain such information.
Volvo and service and repair facilities with agreements with Volvo have access to the special technical equipment required in order
to read and interpret the information stored by the vehicle’s computers. Volvo is responsi­ble for ensuring that the information transmit­ted to Volvo during service and maintenance is stored and handled in a secure manner and that this handling is done in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

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 Cars of North Amer­ica does not support the use of aftermarket, alternative or anything other than original Volvo parts for collision repair.
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

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. Caring 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 CFC­free retrofit kits for the air conditioning system of all models as far back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced electronic engine con-
trols and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal. In addition to continuous environ­mental refinement of conventional gasoline­powered 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.

Important warnings

13

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. 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:
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.

Volvo's concern for safety
Safety is Volvo's cornerstone. Our concern dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the production line. Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safety cages, and energy­absorbing 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

01
18

General information

Adjusting the seat belt
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.
Volvo also believes no child should sit in the front seat of a vehicle.
Most states and provinces make it mandatory for occupants of a vehicle to use seat belts.
Seat belt pretensioners
All seat belts are equipped with pretensioners that reduce slack in the belts. These preten­sioners are triggered in situations where the front or side impact airbags deploy, and in certain impacts from the rear. The front seat
belts also include a tension reducing device which, in the event of a collision, limits the peak forces exerted by the seat belt on the occupant.
Fastening a seat belt
Buckling
Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle until a distinct click is heard. The seat belt retractor is normally "unlocked" and you can move freely, provi­ded that the shoulder belt is not pulled out too far.
Seat belt retractor
The seat belt retractor 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
NOTE
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.
See also page 38 for information about using a seat belt's ALR/ELR function to anchor a child seat.
When wearing the seat belt remember:
The belt should not be twisted or turned.
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.
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.

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 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
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 three­point 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 reminder

G017726
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 occupants of the vehicle to fas­ten their seat belts. The audible signal and indicator light will be on for several seconds from the time the ignition is switched on, regardless of whether or not the seat belts are fastened.
If the front seat belts are unbuckled while the vehicle is in motion, the audible signal and warning light will be active for a several sec­onds.

The seat belt reminder in the rear seat has two additional functions:
It provides information about which seat belts are fastened in the rear seat. A mes­sage will appear in the information display when a belt is being used. This message will disappear after several seconds or can be erased by pressing the OK button on the left steering wheel lever.
It also provides a reminder if one of the occupants of the rear seat has unbuckled his/her seat belt while the vehicle is in motion. A visual and audible signal will be given. These signals will stop when the seat belt has been re-buckled or can be stopped by pressing the OK button.
The message
Unbelted in rear seat will
appear in the information display if one of the rear doors has been opened.
The message in the information display can always be accessed, even if it has been erased, by pressing the OK button to display stored messages.

Seat belt use during pregnancy

G020998
The seat belt should always be worn during pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in the correct way. 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.

General information

Models with an analog instrument panel
Models with an digital instrument panel*
As an enhancement to the three-point seat belts, your Volvo is equipped with a Supple­mental Restraint System (SRS). Volvo's SRS
consists of seat belt pretensioners, front air­bags, side impact airbags, a front passenger occupant weight sensor, and inflatable cur­tains. All of these systems are monitored by the SRS control module. An SRS warning light in the instrument panel (see the illustra­tion) illuminates when the ignition is in modes I or II, and will normally go out after approxi­mately 6 seconds if no faults are detected in the system.
Where applicable, a text message will also be displayed when the SRS warning light illumi­nates. If this warning symbol is not function­ing properly, the general warning symbol illu­minates and a text message will be displayed. See also page 79 for more information about indicator and warning lights.
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.

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 or insert the remote key into the ignition slot before disconnecting the battery (see below). 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 on page 128.

Front airbags

G018665
The front airbag system
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.
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.
Location of the passenger's side front airbag
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.
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.
01 Safety
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

23
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 SRS 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.
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 fastened1.
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:

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.

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. For child safety recommenda­tions,see page 38.
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.
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 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 go on for up to 10 sec­onds while the system performs a self­diagnostic test.
However, if a fault is detected in the system:
The OWS indicator light will stay on
The SRS warning light (see page 21) will come on and stay on
The message
Pass. Airbag OFF Service
urgent will be displayed in the informa-
tion display.
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.

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.

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.

32

General information

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. It 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.
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.
NOTE
If the inflatable curtain deploys, it remains inflated for approximately 3 seconds.
WARNING
The IC system is a supplement to the Side Impact Protection System. It is not designed to deploy during colli­sions from the rear of the vehicle or in rollover situations.
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 cargo area and rear seat should not be loaded to a level higher than 2 in. (5 cm) below the upper edge of the rear side windows. Objects placed higher than this level could impede the function of the Inflatable Curtain.
WARNING
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. Only adults should sit in the front seats. Children must never be allowed in the front passenger seat, see page 38 for guidelines. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants in an accident.

33

General information

Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) – front seats only
The WHIPS system 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 rear-ended).
In the event of a collision of this type, 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 rear-end 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.

Children should be seated safely

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 (see the illustra­tion on page 46). 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.
USA: for children weighing 33 – 80 lbs. (15 – 36 kg) and 38 – 54 inches (97 – 137 cm) in height

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.
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.
Child seat should always be registered. See page 39 for more information.

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.

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.
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 recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the back

Child restraints

G022840
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 following section provides general infor- mation on securing a child restraint using a three-point seat belt. Refer to page 47–49 for information on securing a child restraint using ISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors and/or top tether anchorages.
G022847
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.
G023269
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.

Using the ISOFIX/LATCH lower child seat anchors

Lower anchors for ISOFIX/LATCH-equipped child seats are located in the rear, outboard seats, hidden below the backrest cushions. Symbols on the seat back upholstery mark the 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.

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.
01 Safety

Top tether anchors

01
49

Child restraint anchorages

Your Volvo is equipped with child restraint top tether anchorages in the rear seat. They are located on the rear side of the backrests.
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 (see page 38).
4. Firmly tension all straps.
Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's instructions for information on securing the child seat.
NOTE
On models equipped with the optional cargo area cover, this cover should be removed before a child seat is attached to the child restraint 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.
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.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Integrated two-stage booster cushion
1
Volvo's optional integrated booster cushions are located in the outboard seating positions. These booster cushions have been specially designed to help safeguard children in the rear seat. They should be stowed (folded down into the seat cushion) when not in use. When using an integrated booster cushion, the child must be secured with the vehicle's three-point seat belt.
Use these booster cushions only with children whose weight is between:
Stage 1: 48 – 80 lbs (22 – 36 kg)
Stage 2: 33 – 55 lbs (15 – 25 kg)
and whose height is between:
Stage 1: 45 – 55 in. (115 – 140 cm)
Stage 2: 37 – 47 in. (95 – 120 cm)
In Canada, Transport Canada's weight recommendation is 40 – 80 lbs (18 – 36 kg).
The booster cushions are designed to raise the child higher, so that the shoulder strap crosses over the child's collarbone, not over the child's neck. If using a booster cushion does not result in proper positioning of the shoulder strap, then the child should be placed in a properly secured child restraint (see page 40). The shoulder belt must never be placed behind the child's back or under the arm.
G017875
Correct seating position: child's head is below the head restraint and the shoulder belt is across the collarbone
G017719
Incorrect seating position: the child's head is above the head restraint and the shoulder belt is not across the collarbone

WARNING
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur
Follow all instructions on the booster cushion and in the vehi­cle's owner's manual.
MAKE SURE THE BOOSTER CUSHION IS SECURELY LOCKED BEFORE THE CHILD IS SEATED.
Use this booster cushion only with children whose height and weight are within the permitted limits shown in the table (see page 50).
In the event of a collision while the integrated booster cushion was occu­pied, the entire booster cushion and seat belt must be replaced. The booster cushion should also be replaced if it is badly worn or damaged in any way. This work should be per­formed by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician only.

The PCC's lock and unlock functions have a range of approximately 60 ft. (20 m) from the vehicle.
NOTE
The approach lighting, panic alarm, and the functions controlled by the information button have a range of approximately 300 ft (100 m) from the vehicle.
Radio waves, buildings or other obsta­cles may interfere with the function of the PCC.
If the vehicle does not provide confirmation when a button has been pressed, try moving closer and pressing the button again.
Outside of the PCC´s range
If the PCC is more than approximately 300 ft (100 m) from the vehicle when the information button is pressed, no new information will be received. The PCC most recently used to lock
or unlock the vehicle will show the vehicle's most recently received status. The indicator lights will not flash when the information but­ton is pressed while the PCC is out of range.
If more than one PCC is used to lock/unlock the vehicle, only the one used most recently will show the correct locking status.
NOTE
If none of the indicator lights illuminate when the information button is pressed, this may be because the most recent transmission between the vehicle and the PCC was interrupted or impeded by build­ings or other objects.

See page 134 for more information about using the parking brake.
Airbags – SRS
If this light comes on while the vehicle is being driven, or remains on for longer than approximately 10 seconds after the vehicle has been started, the SRS system's diagnos­tic functions have detected a fault in a seat belt lock or pretensioner, a front airbag, side impact airbag, and/or an inflatable curtain. Have the system(s) inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible.
See page 21 for more information about the airbag system.
Seat belt reminder
This symbol comes on for approximately 6 seconds if the driver has not fastened his or her seat belt.
Generator not charging
This symbol comes on during driving if a fault has occurred in the electrical system. Contact an authorized Volvo workshop.
Engine temperature
Engine overheating can result from low oil or coolant levels, towing or hard driving at high heat and altitude, or mechanical malfunction. Engine overheating will be signaled with text and a red warning triangle in the middle of the instrument display. The exact text will depend on the degree of overheating. It may range
from High engine temp Reduce speed to
High engine temp Stop engine. If appropri-
ate, other messages, such as Coolant level
low, Stop safely will also be displayed. If
your engine does overheat so that you must stop the engine, always allow the engine to cool before attempting to check oil and cool­ant levels.
See page 338 for more information.
Fault in brake system
