Seat belts
Not wearing a seat belt is like believing "It'll never happen to me!" Volvo, the inventor of the three-point seat belt,
urges you and all occupants of your car to wear seat belts and ensure that children are 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 car.
NOTE: Legislation in your state or province may mandate seat belt usage. Additionally, most states and provinces
have already made it mandatory for occupants of a car to use seat belts.
So, urging you to "buckle up" is not just our recommendation - legislation in your state or province may mandate seat
belt usage. The few seconds it takes to buckle up may one day allow you to say, "It's a good thing I was wearing my
seat belt."
NOTE: A chime will sound several times if the driver has not fastened his/her seat belt.

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 27
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
up when the ignition key is turned to positions I, II or III and should go out after 7 seconds or when the engine is
started. Check that this light is functioning properly every time the car is started.
