Radio Data System (RDS, also referred to as RBDS) - HU- 803 only
This feature, which may not work in your area, functions only with FM broadcasts. The HU - 803 radio in your car is
equipped with an advanced system allowing information from broadcasters to be transmitted visually, as text, together
with the audio signal. This information is then decoded by the radio and made available for several new and unique
features. The RDS or Radio Data System operates in the FM band only, and the information transmitted is
supplied exclusively by participating broadcasters. Volvo has no control over the accuracy of the data or
information. Please refer to the following pages regarding specific descriptions and operation of these functions.

pg. 12 Airbags (Supplemental Restraint System)
Driver's side airbag
As an enhancement to the three-point seat belt system, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) to complement the three-point seat belt system. The inflatable airbag is installed folded up in the center of the
steering wheel. The wheel is embossed with SRS.
WARNING!
Never drive an SRS equipped car with your hands on the steering wheel pad / airbag housing.
Passenger side airbag
The airbag on the front passenger side is folded up in a compartment above the glove compartment. The panel is
embossed SRS.
WARNING!
ProCarManuals.com

No objects, accessory equipment or stickers may be placed on, attached to, or installed near the SRS cover in the
center of the steering wheel, the SRS cover above the glove compartment or the area affected by airbag
deployment.
WARNING!
As its name implies, SRS is designed to be a SUPPLEMENT to - not a replacement for - the three-point belt
system. 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.
When installing any optional equipment, make sure that the SRS system is not damaged. Do not attempt to service
any component of the SRS yourself. Attempting to do so may result in serious personal injury. If a problem arises,
take your car to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for inspection as soon as possible.
pg. 13 Airbags (Supplemental Restraint System)
NOTE: Deployment of SRS components 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
ProCarManuals.com

release of the powder may appear as smoke- like matter. This is a normal characteristic and does not indicate fire.
NOTE: Volvo's dual- threshold, dual- stage 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 dual- stage airbags are triggered at
just 70% of their total capacity. If the impact is more severe, the dual- stage airbags are triggered at full capacity.
WARNING!
Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/ backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend
that occupants under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the
seat belt fastened. Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can impair the steering of your
car. 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.
pg. 14 Airbags (Supplemental Restraint System)
WARNING!
Children must never be allowed in the front passenger's seat. 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. See page 28
for guidelines.
Occupants in the front passenger's seat must never sit on the edge of the seat, sit leaning toward the instrument
panel or otherwise 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.
Feet must be on the floor, e. g. not on the dash, seat or out of the window. No objects or accessory equipment, e. g.
dash covers, may be placed on, attached to, or installed near the SRS hatch (the area above the glove compartment)
or the area affected by airbag deployment (see illustration on page 12
).
There should be no loose articles, e. g. coffee cups, on the floor, seat or dash area. Never try to open the SRS cover
on the steering wheel or the passenger side dash. This should only be done by an authorized Volvo service
technician.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants
Warning light in the instrument panel
A self - diagnostic system incorporated in the sensor monitors the SRS. This system does not, however, monitor the
Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags. If a fault is detected, the warning light will illuminate. The light is
included in the warning/ indicator light cluster in the instrument panel. Normally, the SRS warning lamp should light

If your car has been subjected to flood conditions (e. g. soaked carpeting/ standing water on the floor of the vehicle)
or if your car has become flood-damaged in any way, do not attempt to start the vehicle or put the key in the
ignition before discon- necting the battery (see below). This may cause airbag deployment which could result in
personal injury. Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer for repairs.
Automatic transmission:
Before attempting to tow the car, use the following procedure to override the shiftlock system to move the gear
selector to the neutral position.
Switch off the ignition for at least 10 minutes and disconnect the battery
Wait at least one minute
Insert the key in the ignition and turn it to position II
Press firmly on the brake pedal.
Move the gear selector from (P) ark to the (N) eutral position.
There is no maintenance to perform on the SRS yourself. The month and year shown on the decal on the door pillar
indicate when you should contact your Volvo retailer for specific servicing or replacement of airbags and seat belt
tensioners. This service must be performed by an authorized Volvo retailer.
Should you have any questions about the SRS system, please contact your authorized Volvo retailer or Volvo

pg. 17 Airbags (Supplemental Restraint System)
Front airbag (SRS) system
As an enhancement to the three-point seat belt system, your Volvo is equipped with a Supple- mental Restraint
System (SRS). The Volvo SRS consists of an airbag (2) on both the driver's and passenger's sides and seat belt
tensioners in both front door pillars. The system is designed to supplement the protection provided by the three-point
seat belt system. All three rear seat belts are also equipped with tensioners.
The SRS system is indicated by the "SRS" 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.
