sensor VOLVO C70 CONVERTIBLE 2007 Owner´s Manual

2007 Volvo C70
1Volvo recommends that children always be properly restrained in appropri\
ate child restraints in the rear seats. In
rare situations when the seat belt is not properly fastened, some child \
restraints may not be detected by the OWS
because there is very little weight on the vehicle seat cushion. In thes\
e cases the passenger's side front airbag may
be disabled, but the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will not be lit\
. 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 (turn the vehicle off, remove the child\
restraint from the vehicle and reinstall the
restraint following the child restraint manufacturer's instructions) an\
d that the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF
indicator lamp is on, or move the child restraint to the rear seat.
The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate) the passenger's side front\
airbag 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 prope\
rly in the seat. If this happens:
l Turn the vehicle off and ask the person to place the seatback in an upri\
ght position.
l Have the person sit upright in the seat, centered on the seat cushion, w\
ith the person's legs comfortably
extended.
l Restart the vehicle and have the person remain in this position for abou\
t two minutes. This will allow
the system to detect that person and enable the passenger's frontal airb\
ag.
l If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp remains on even after this, t\
he 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
l 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 e\
vent of a collision, thereby
injuring the child.
l The seat belt should never be wrapped around an object on the front pass\
enger's seat. This could
interfere with the OWS system's function.
l The front passenger's seat belt should never be used in a way that exert\
s more pressure on the
passenger than normal. This could increase the pressure exerted on the w\
eight 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. Failur\
e to follow these instructions
could adversely affect the system's function and result in serious injur\
y to the occupant of the front
passenger's seat:
l 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 cushi\
on, or by pressing against the
backrest in a way that reduces pressure on the seat cushion. This could \
cause OWS to disable the
passenger's side front airbag.
l Do not place any type of object on the front passenger's seat in such a \
way that jamming, pressing, or
squeezing occurs between the object and the front seat, other than as a \
direct result of the correct use of
the ALR/ELR seat belt (see
page 32).
l No objects should be placed under the front passenger's seat. This could\
interfere with the OWS
system's function.

Roll-over Protection system
Roll-over Protection system (ROPS)
The ROPS system consists of two roll bars located behind the rear seat h\
ead restraints, and a sensor that
monitors the roll or pitch angle of the vehicle.
If the vehicle rolls or pitches beyond a preset angle, or in the event o\
f a rear-end collision of sufficient
force, the roll bars are automatically deployed (raised).
The ROPS system is designed to function regardless of whether the power \
retractable hard top is up or
down. By design, the tops of the roll bars are equipped with a point in \
order to pierce the rear window if
the top is up.
NOTE
If ROPS has deployed, the system should be inspected by a trained and qu\
alified Volvo service
technician.
WARNING
l The rear seat of the Volvo C70 is intended for two occupants, and only t\
wo rear seat belts are
provided. The center section of the seat should never be used to seat a \
passenger.
l No objects should be placed over the roll bars or behind the rear seat h\
ead restraints.
l All repairs or maintenance to the ROPS system should only be performed b\
y a trained Volvo service
technician.

Crash mode
Driving after a collision
If the vehicle has been involved in a collision, the text CRASH MODE SEE\
MANUAL may appear in the
information display. This indicates that the vehicle's functionality has\
been reduced.
This text can only be shown if the display is undamaged and the vehicle'\
s electrical system is intact.
CRASH MODE is a feature that is triggered if one or more of the safety s\
ystems (for example, front or
side airbags, an inflatable curtain, or one or more of the seat belt ten\
sioners) has deployed. The collision
may have damaged an important function in the vehicle, such as the fuel \
lines, sensors for one of the
safety systems, the brake system, etc.
WARNING
l Never attempt to repair the vehicle yourself or to reset the electrical \
system after the vehicle has
displayed CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL. This could result in injury or improper\
system function.
l Restoring the vehicle to normal operating mode should only be done by a \
trained and qualified Volvo
service technician.
l After CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL has been displayed, if you detect the odor o\
f fuel vapor, or see
any signs of fuel leakage, do not attempt to start the vehicle. Leave th\
e vehicle immediately.
Attempting to start the vehicle
If damage to the vehicle is minor and there is no fuel leakage, you may \
attempt to start the vehicle. To do
so:

A child seat should never be used in the front passenger seat of any veh\
icle with a front passenger
airbag - not even if the "Passenger airbag off" symbol near the rear-vie\

Always refer to the child restraint manufacturer's instructions for deta\
iled information on securing the

4. Information display
The display presents information and warning messages, the ambient tempe\
rature, and the clock, etc. When the
ambient temperature is between 23° and 36°F (-5° and +2°C)\
, a snowflake symbol is shown in the display. This
symbol serves as a warning for possible slippery road surfaces. Please n\
ote that this symbol does not indicate a fault
with your car. At low speeds, or when the car is not moving, the tempera\
ture readings may be slightly higher than the
actual ambient temperature.

gear or slow the vehicle down. The engine management system will automat\
ically prevent excessively high engines
speeds. This will be noticeable as a pronounced unevenness in engine spe\
ed.
