Seat belts

Use your seat belt for all types of driving

Even hard braking can have dangerous consequences if you are not wearing a seat belt! Always ask your passengers to use seat belts! Otherwise, rear seat passengers may be thrown into the front seat backrests in a collision. Everyone in the car could then be hurt.

Use the seat belt as follows: pull the belt out slowly and secure it by inserting the locking tab into the lock. A loud "click" indicates that the belt is locked.

The belt is not normally restricted and you can move freely.

The belt is restricted and cannot be pulled out further...

• ...if it is pulled out too fast

• ...during braking and acceleration

• ...if the car leans excessively

It is important that the belt lies against the body so it can provide maximum protection. Do not lean the backrest too far back. The seat belt is designed to protect in a normal seating position.

([WHQGLQJWKHODSEHOW

Keep in mind the following:

• do not use clips or anything else that prevents the belt from lying correctly.

• ensure the belt is not twisted or caught on anything.

• the lap belt should sit low - not over the abdomen.

• stretch the lap belt over the lap by pulling the diagonal shoulder belt as illustrated above.

Each belt is intended for RQH person only!

7RUHOHDVHWKHEHOW Press the red button in the lock and allow the reel to pull the belt in. If it does not pull in the belt completely, feed the belt in manually so that it does not hang loose.

Seat belt reminder

The seat belt warning symbol in the combined instrument panel and above the rearview mirror flashes until the driver and front seat passenger put on their seat belts. The seat belt reminder switches off after 6 seconds if speed is lower than 10 km/h. If the driver or front seat passenger have not put on their seat belts, the reminder switches on if speed exceeds 10 km/h and switches off if speed drops below 5 km/h. If you take off your belt, the function reactivates when speed exceeds 10 km/h.

127(The seat belt reminder is intended for an adult sitting in the front seat. If a belt-fitted child seat is fitted in the front seat, the seat belt reminder does not switch on.

Pregnant women

Pregnant women should be especially careful when using seat belts! Always remember to position the belt so that there is no unnecessary pressure on the womb. The lap belt of the threepoint seat belt should be low.

Seat belts and seat belt tensioners

All seat belts are equipped with seat belt tensioners. A small mechanism, built into the seat belt reel, triggers at the moment of impact to tension the belt around the body and reduce slack from clothing, etc. The belt thus restrains the passenger more quickly.

WARNING!

If the seat belt has been subjected to large stresses, such as in a collision, the entire seat belt assembly including reel, mountings, bolts and lock must be replaced. Even if the belt appears undamaged, some of the protective properties may have been lost. Replace the seat belt if it is worn or damaged. 1HYHU make any modifications or repairs to the seat belt yourself. Let an authorised Volvo workshop perform this work.

Airbags (SRS)

Driver’s airbag

To further increase interior safety, your car is equipped with an airbag (SRS complement to the three-point seat belt. The inflatable airbag is installed folded up in the centre of the steering wheel. The wheel is marked SRS.

When the airbag is inflated, its volume is approx. 60 litres. The volume of the driver’s airbag is less than that of the airbag on the passenger side.

) as a

Front passenger airbag

The airbag on the passenger side is folded up in a compartment above the glovebox. The panel is marked SRS. The volume of the inflated airbag is approximately 140 litres.

WARNING!

Do not attach clips or any other equipment to the dashboard or steering wheel! This can result in injury and/or compromise the intended protection of the airbag when it is inflated.

WARNING!

Airbags (SRS) are designed to provide additional protection and do not replace seat belts. For maximum safety:$OZD\VXVHD VHDWEHOW.

1. Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

Safety

WARNING!

$LUEDJ±SDVVHQJHUVLGH

• 1HYHU put a child seat or booster cushion in the front seat if the car is equipped with an airbag (SRS) on the passenger side.

• 1HYHU allow a child to stand or sit in front of the front passenger seat.

• 1RRQH shorter than 140 cm should sit in the front passenger seat.

• Passengers should sit as upright as possible with their feet on the floor and backs against the backrests. Seat belts should be secured.

• No objects or accessories may be positioned or stuck on or near the SRS panel (above the glovebox) or in the area affected by the airbag.

• Do not place loose objects on the floor, seat or dashboard.

• Never interfere with SRS components in the steering wheel hub or the panel above the glovebox.

WARNING!

If the SRS warning lamp remains lit or lights while driving, it means that the SRS system is not functioning fully. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop.

Warning lamp in the combined instrument panel

The sensor/control module continuously monitors the SRS system and there is a warning lamp in the combined instrument panel. This lamp lights when the ignition key is turned to position I, II or III. The lamp goes out when the sensor/control module has checked that the SRS system is fault-free. This normally takes about 7 seconds.

Safety

Airbags (SRS) (Contd)

656V\VWHPOHIWKDQGGULYH

SRS System

The system consists of a gas generator (1) surrounded by the inflatable airbag (2). Upon a sufficiently violent collision, a sensor (3) reacts, activating the gas generator ignitor and the airbag inflates as it heats up. To cushion the impact, the airbag deflates when compressed. When this occurs, smoke escapes into the car. This is completely normal. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbag, occurs in tenths of a second.

656V\VWHPULJKWKDQGGULYH

127(The sensor (3) reacts differently depending on the severity of the collision and whether the driver or passenger side seat belts are in use. Crash situations may occur where only one airbag is deployed. Never buckle the front passenger seat belt into the driver’s side belt buckle!

The SRS system senses the collision in the level of braking and speed reduction caused by the collision. The sensors determine if the collision is of the character and nature requiring airbag deployment to protect the occupants.

Volvo Dual-Stage Airbag

(Dual-stage airbags)

If a collision is mild but sufficiently violent that there is a risk of personal injury, the airbags are partially inflated. If the collision is more severe, the airbags are inflated fully.

WARNING!

1HYHU try to repair any part of the SRS or SIPS bag systems yourself. Any interference in the system could cause malfunction and serious injury. Any work should only be performed by an authorised Volvo workshop.

Side airbags (SIPS bag)

Side airbags – SIPS bags

Side airbags further increase interior safety.

The SIPS airbag system consists of two main components: side airbags and sensors. The side airbags are installed in the frames of the front seat backrests and the sensors are located in the insides of the centre pillars. The volume of an inflated side airbag is about 12 litres.

,QIODWHG6,36DLUEDJ

WARNING!

Side airbags (SIPS bags) are an addition to the existing SIPS system (Side Impact Protection System). For maximum protection:$OZD\VXVHDVHDWEHOW.

Safety

Child seat and SIPS airbag

If the car is only equipped with SIPS airbags and does not have a front airbag (SRS) on the passenger side, child seats/booster cushions can be located in the front seat.

WARNING!

6,36DLUEDJ

• Never interfere with the SIPS airbag system.

• Extra seat covers must not be used on the front seats if they are not Volvo Genuine covers or Volvo approved seat covers for SIPS airbags.

• No objects or accessories may be placed between the outer side of the seat and the door panel because this area may be affected by the SIPS airbag.

Safety

Side airbags (SIPS bag) (Contd)

/HIWKDQGGULYH

The SIPS airbag system

The SIPS bag system consists of a gas generator (1), electronic sensors, cables (3) and the side airbags (2). Upon a sufficiently violent collision, the sensors react, activating the gas generator, which inflates the side airbag. The airbag inflates between the occupant and the door panel, cushioning the impact at the moment of collision, and then deflates. Normally, only the side airbag on the side of the collision inflates.

5LJKWKDQGGULYH

Roll-Over Protection System (ROPS)

Safety

Volvo’s Roll-Over Protection System has been designed to reduce the risk of the car overturning and to provide the best possible protection in the event of an accident.

The system consists of:

• A stabiliser system, RSC (Roll Stability Control) that minimises the risk of overturning during sudden evasive manoeuvres or the like or if the car skids.

• Increased protection for the driver and passengers through a reinforced body, inflatable curtains and seat belt tensioners in all seats. See page 11 and page 18.

The RSC system uses a gyro sensor which registers changes in the car’s lateral inclination angle. This information is then used to calculate the risk for overturning. If a risk is detected, the DSTC system is engaged, engine speed is reduced and one or more wheels are braked until the car returns to a stable position.

For more information on the DSTC system, see page 34 and page 108.

WARNING!

Under normal driving conditions, the RSC system improves the car’s road safety, but this should not be taken as a reason to increase speed. Always follow the usual precautions for safe driving.

Safety

Inflatable Curtain (IC)

(Inflatable Curtain)

The inflatable curtain reduces the risk of head injuries by preventing the head from hitting the inside of the car and protecting against objects with which the car collides, such as another vehicle or a pole. The inflatable curtain protects those travelling in both the front and outer rear seats. It also prevents passengers from being completely or partially thrown from the car in the event of an accident. The inflatable curtain is concealed in the headlining and covers the upper part of the car interior at the front and rear seats.

The inflatable curtain may be activated when the car is hit from the side, overturns or rolls. The curtain then fills with gas from the gas generator, which is located in the rear of the curtain.

WARNING!

The Inflatable Curtain (IC) is designed to provide additional protection, not as a seat belt replacement. For maximum safety: $OZD\VXVHVHDWEHOWV. Keep in mind that the Inflatable Curtain protects the occupant’s head from side impact – not impacts occurring from above.

In Volvo XC90, the inflatable curtains have been further developed to protect occupants in the event of overturning. The curtain also covers those travelling in the third row of seats in the variant that seats seven.

WARNING!

• Do not screw or mount anything to the headlining, door pillars or side panels. The intended protection may be compromised. Only Volvo Genuine parts that are approved for placement in these areas should be used.

• If the rear seat backrests are lowered, do not load higher than the bottom edge of the side windows. Leave 10 cm free space from the window inwards. Otherwise, the intended protection of the inflatable curtain hidden in the headlining may be compromised.

WHIPS

Safety

Whiplash Protection System

This system consists of energy absorbing backrests and specially developed head restraints in both front seats.

WHIPS seat

WHIPS is activated upon a collision from behind based on the collision angle, speed and nature of the colliding vehicle. Upon activation, the backrests of the front seats, if occupied, move backward and the seating position of the occupants in the front seats is altered. This diminishes the risk of whiplash injury.

Correct seating position

For the best possible protection, you and your front seat passenger should sit in the centre of your seats with as little distance as possible between the head restraints and your heads.

WARNING!

WHIPS is designed to provide additional protection and does not replace seat belts. For maximum safety:$OZD\VXVHDVHDW EHOW.

WHIPS and child seat

The WHIPS system does not negatively affect the protective properties of the car with regard to child seats. As long as there is no airbag (SRS) on the passenger side, a Volvo child seat may be located in the front passenger seat. The WHIPS system still functions if a rear-facing child seat is placed on the rear seat and supported against the front seat backrest.

Safety

WHIPS (Contd)

WARNING!

Be sure to never hinder the function of the WHIPS system!

• If a rear backrest is folded down, the corresponding front seat must be adjusted so that it is not in contact with the folded backrest.

• Avoid placing boxes or similar cargo so that it is clamped between the seat cushion of the rear seat and the backrest of the front seat.

WARNING!

If the seat has been exposed to a heavy load strain, such as in a rear-end collision, the WHIPS system should be inspected by an authorised Volvo workshop. Even if the seat does not appear damaged, the WHIPS system may have deployed without causing visible damage to the seat. The protective capacity of the WHIPS system may be impaired. Have the system checked at an authorised Volvo workshop even after minor rear-end collisions. Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS system yourself!

Safety

When are the safety systems activated?

System Triggered

Seat belt tensioner In the event of a head-on collision or overturning. The belt is tensioned around the body to reduce slack from clothing,

etc. The belt thus restrains the passenger more quickly. Airbags (SRS) In collisions if there is a risk that front seat passengers could be injured by hitting the dashboard or steering wheel. Side airbags In side-on collisions if the car is hit with sufficient force. Inflatable Curtain (IC) In side-on collisions or if the car overturns. The curtain reduces the risk of head injuries. WHIPS When hit from behind. Reduces the risk of neck injuries, i.e. whiplash. RSC During sudden evasive manoeuvres or the like or if the car skids. Reduces the risk of overturning.

WARNING!

The SRS system sensor is located in the centre console. If the floor of the passenger compartment has been drenched with water, disconnect the battery cables in the cargo compartment. Do not try to start the car; the airbags may deploy. Have the car towed to an authorised Volvo workshop.

WARNING!

Never drive with deployed airbags! This may make the car difficult to steer. Other safety systems may also be damaged. Intense exposure to the smoke and dust released when the air bags are deployed can cause skin and eye irritation. In case of problems, wash with cold water and contact a doctor. The speed of the deployment and the airbag fabric may cause friction burns on the skin.

127(The SRS, SIPS and IC systems are only deployed once in a collision. If the airbags have been deployed, we recommend the following:

• Tow the car to a Volvo workshop. Do not drive the car with the airbags deployed even if the car can be driven after an accident.

• Let an authorised Volvo workshop replace components in the SRS, SIPS, and IC systems.

The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a collision without airbag deployment. This does not indicate a fault in the airbags. This means that the function was not needed at that moment and the occupants were protected by the other safety systems of the car.

Safety

Inspection of airbags, inflatable curtains and seat belt tensioners

The year and month specified on the decal in the door pillar(s) is the date you should contact your Volvo workshop to inspect, and if necessary, replace the airbags and seat belt tensioners. If you have any questions concerning either system, contact an authorised Volvo workshop.

Safety

Children should sit comfortably and safely

Remember that children, regardless of age or size, should always be securely strapped into the car. Never allow a child to sit on the knee of a passenger!

The weight and height of the child must be taken into consideration when selecting equipment and its location. See page 24.

Volvo’s own child safety equipment is designed for your car. If you select Volvo equipment, you can be sure that the mounting points and attachments are correctly positioned and sufficiently strong.

Children up to 3 years of age sit safest in a rearfacing child seat.

127(Many countries have regulations regarding where children should be located in the car. Find out what laws apply in the countries you will be visiting.

WARNING!

Never put a child seat/booster cushion in the front seat if the car is equipped with SRS (airbag) on the passenger side.

Child seat and seat belt reminder

If a rear-facing infant or child seat is placed in the front seat and secured using the seat belt, the seat belt reminder might not be activated. Always check that the belt is locked before driving off!

Safety

WARNING!

If an integrated booster cushion has been subjected to great stress, such as in a collision, the entire booster cushion, including the seat belt and bolts, must be replaced. Even if the integrated booster cushion appears undamaged, it may not afford the same level of protection.

The booster cushion should also be replaced if it is worn or damaged. Note, however, that the cushion should only be replaced by a professional as it is vital for passenger safety that the booster cushion is correctly installed.
