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.
To buckle a seat belt:

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. The
retractor will lock up as follows:
if the belt is pulled out rapidly
during braking and acceleration
if the vehicle is leaning excessively
when driving in turns For the seat belt to provide maximum protection in the event of an accident, it must be worn
correctly. When wearing the seat belt remember:
The belt should not be twisted or turned.
The lap 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.
Before exiting the car, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the belt back
into the retractor slot.
Child seats:
Please refer to page 27
for information on securing child seats with the seat belts.
pg. 11 Seat belts
During pregnancy
Pregnant women should always wear seat belts. Remember that the belt should always be positioned in such a way as
to avoid any possible pressure on the abdomen. The lap portion of the belt should be located low, as shown in the
above illustration.
WARNING!
Seat belts:
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.
Never repair the belt on your own; have this work done by an authorized Volvo retailer only.
Any device used to induce slack into the shoulder belt portion of the three-point 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.

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.

2. After you have unlocked the driver's door with the key or remote control, the driver's seat can be adjusted during a
10 minute period if the door remains open. If the door is closed, the seat can be adjusted for 40 seconds. The ignition
key can be in position 0 or not yet inserted in the ignition switch.
Remote keyless entry system and driver's seat
The remote control transmitter also controls the electrically operated driver's seat in the following way:
Adjust the seat to your preferences.
When you leave your car, lock it using the remote control.
The next time you unlock the driver's door with the same remote control (the one you used to lock the doors with) and
open the driver's door, the driver's seat will automatically move to the position in which you left it.
The seat will move to this position even if someone else had adjusted them since you last drove the car.
NOTE! This feature will work in the same way with all of the remote control transmitters (up to 3) that you use with
your car.
This feature will not function if you lock your car with the key. This feature will not function if you lock you car with
the key.
Seat adjustment
If your Volvo is equipped with power seats, the following may be adjusted with the two switches at the side of the
seat:
A - Front edge of seat (raise/lower)
B - Front-rear
C - Rear edge of seat (raise/lower)
D - Backrest tilt
NOTE! The power seats have an overload protector that activates if a seat is blocked by any object. If this occurs,
switch off the ignition (key in position 0) and wait about 20 seconds before operating the seat again.
Please refer to the following page for information on programming the memory function in the driver's seat.
pg. 105 Front seats
Emergency stop
If the seat accidentally begins to move, press one of the buttons to stop the seat.
WARNING!
Because the driver's seat can be adjusted with the ignition off, children should never be left unattended in the car.
Movement of the seat can be STOPPED at any time by pressing any button on the power seat control panel.
