Driver distraction
A driver has a responsibility to do everything possible to ensure his or her own safety andthe safety of passengers in the vehicle andothers sharing the roadway. Avoiding distrac-tions is part of that responsibility. Driver distraction results from driver activities that are not directly related to controlling thevehicle in the driving environment. Your newVolvo is, or can be, equipped with many fea-ture-rich entertainment and communicationsystems. These include hands-free cellulartelephones, navigation systems, and multi-purpose audio systems. You may also ownother portable electronic devices for your ownconvenience. When used properly and safely,they enrich the driving experience. Improperlyused, any of these could cause a distraction. For all of these systems, we want to provide the following warning that reflects the strongVolvo concern for your safety. Never usethese devices or any feature of your vehicle ina way that distracts you from the task of driv-ing safely. Distraction can lead to a seriousaccident. In addition to this general warning,we offer the following guidance regardingspecific newer features that may be found inyour vehicle: •Never use a hand-held cellular telephone while driving. Some jurisdictions prohibit cellular telephone use by a driver whilethe vehicle is moving.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a naviga-tion system, set and make changes toyour travel itinerary only with the vehicleparked.
• Never program your audio system whilethe vehicle is moving. Program radio pre-sets with the vehicle parked, and useyour programmed presets to make radiouse quicker and simpler.
• Never use portable computers or per-sonal digital assistants while the vehicle ismoving.
Accessory installation
• We strongly recommend that Volvo own- ers install only genuine, Volvo-approvedaccessories, and that accessory installa-tions be performed only by a trained andqualified Volvo service technician.
• Genuine Volvo accessories are tested toensure compatibility with the perform-ance, safety, and emission systems inyour vehicle. Additionally, a trained andqualified Volvo service technician knowswhere accessories may and may not besafely installed in your Volvo. In all cases,please consult a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician before installingany accessory in or on your vehicle. •
Accessories that have not been approvedby Volvo may or may not be specificallytested for compatibility with your vehicle.Additionally, an inexperienced installermay not be familiar with some of yourcar's systems.
• Any of your car's performance and safetysystems could be adversely affected ifyou install accessories that Volvo has nottested, or if you allow accessories to beinstalled by someone unfamiliar with yourvehicle.
• Damage caused by unapproved orimproperly installed accessories may notbe covered by your new vehicle warranty.See your Warranty and Service RecordsInformation booklet for more warrantyinformation.

01 Safety
Seat belts01

Seat belt retractorThe seat belt retractor will lock up in the following situations:• if the belt is pulled out rapidly
• during braking and acceleration
• if the vehicle is leaning excessively
• when driving in turns
• if the Automatic Locking Retractor/Emer- gency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR) isactivated
NOTE
Each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with the ALR/ELR function,which is designed to help keep the seatbelt taut. ALR/ELR activates if the seat beltis pulled out as far as possible. If this isdone, a sound from the seat belt retractorwill be audible, which is normal, and theseat belt will be pulled taut and locked inplace. This function is automatically disa-bled when the seat belt is unbuckled andfully retracted.
See also page 39 for information about using a seat belt's ALR/ELR function toanchor a child seat.
When wearing the seat belt remember:
• The belt should not be twisted or turned.
• The lap section of the belt must be posi- tioned low on the hips (not pressingagainst the abdomen).
• Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolledup into its retractor and that the shoulderand lap belts are taut.
Unbuckling the seat beltTo remove the seat belt, press the red section on the seat belt receptacle. Before exiting thevehicle, check that the seat belt retracts fullyafter being unbuckled. If necessary, guide thebelt back into the retractor slot.
Seat belt maintenanceCheck periodically that the seat belts are ingood condition. Use water and a mild deter-gent for cleaning. Check seat belt mechanismfunction as follows: attach the seat belt andpull rapidly on the strap.
WARNING
Never use a seat belt for more than one occupant. Never wear the shoulder portionof the belt under the arm, behind the backor otherwise out of position. Such usecould cause injury in the event of an acci-dent. As seat belts lose much of theirstrength when exposed to violent stretch-ing, they should be replaced after any col-lision, even if they appear to be undam-aged.

General information
Models with an analog instrument panel
Models with an digital instrument panel*
As an enhancement to the three-point seat belts, your Volvo is equipped with a Supple-mental Restraint System (SRS). Volvo's SRS consists of seat belt pretensioners, front air-bags, side impact airbags, a front passengeroccupant weight sensor, and inflatable cur-tains. All of these systems are monitored bythe SRS control module. An SRS warninglight in the instrument panel (see the illustra-tion) illuminates when the ignition is in modes I
or II, and will normally go out after approxi-
mately 6 seconds if no faults are detected in the system. Where applicable, a text message will also be displayed when the SRS warning light illumi-nates. If this warning symbol is not function-ing properly, the general warning symbol illu-minates and a text message will be displayed.See also page 79 for more informationabout indicator and warning lights.
WARNING
• If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it illumi-nates while you are driving, have thevehicle inspected by a trained andqualified Volvo service technician assoon as possible.
• Never try to repair any component orpart of the SRS yourself. Any interfer-ence in the system could cause mal-function and serious injury. All work onthese systems should be performed bya trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician.
