40 01 Safety
Convertible seats
WARNING
A child seat should never be used in the front passenger seat of any vehicle with a front passenger airbag - not even
if the "Passenger airbag off" symbol near the rear-view mirror is illuminated (on vehicles equipped with Occupant
Weight Sensor). If the severity of an accident were to cause the airbag to inflate, this could lead to serious injury or
death to a child seated in this position.
41 01 Safety
Booster cushions
Securing a booster cushion
1. Booster cushions are recommended for children who have outgrown convertible seats.
2. Place the booster cushion in the rear seat of the vehicle.
3. With the child properly seated on the booster cushion, attach the seat belt to or around the cushion according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Fasten the seat belt by inserting the latch plate into the buckle (lock) until a distinct click is audible.

4. Attach lower tether straps to the lower ISOFIX/LATCH anchors. If the child restraint is not equipped with lower
tether straps, or the restraint is used in the center seating position, follow instructions for securing a child restraint
using the Automatic Locking Retractor seat belt (see page 33
).
5. Firmly tension all straps.
Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's instructions for information on securing the child seat.
WARNING
Never route a top tether strap over the top of the head restraint. The strap should be routed beneath the head
restraint.
Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints.
Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts or harnesses. The anchorages are not able to
withstand excessive forces on them in the event of collision if full harness seat belts or adult seat belts are installed
to them. An adult who uses a belt anchored in a child restraint anchorage runs a great risk of suffering severe injuries
should a collision occur.
Do not install rear speakers that require the removal of the top tether anchors or interfere with the proper use of
the top tether strap.
44 01 Safety
Child restraint registration and recalls
Registering a child restraint
Child restraints could be recalled for safety reasons. You must register your child restraint to be reached in a recall. To
stay informed about child safety seat recalls, be sure to fill out and return the registration card that comes with new
child restraints.
Child restraint recall information is readily available in both the U.S. and Canada. For recall information in the U.S.,
call the U.S. Government's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393. In Canada, visit Transport Canada's Child Safety
website at http://www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety/childsafety/menu.htm

Integrated booster cushion
WARNING
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur
Follow all instructions on the booster cushion and in the vehicle's owner's manual.
MAKE SURE THE BOOSTER CUSHION IS SECURELY LOCKED BEFORE THE CHILD IS SEATED.
Use this booster cushion only with children who weigh between 33 and 80 lbs (15 and 36 kg) and whose height is
between 38 and 54 in (97 and 137 cm). In Canada, Transport Canada's weight recommendation is 40-80 lbs (18-36
kg).
In the event of a collision while the integrated booster cushion was occupied, the entire booster cushion and seat
belt must be replaced. The booster cushion should also be replaced if it is badly worn or damaged in any way. This

work should be performed by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician only

Introduction
Two remote keys or optional Personal Car Communicators (PCC) are provided with your vehicle. They enable you to
unlock the doors and trunk, and also function as ignition keys to start the vehicle or operate electrical components. The
remote keys contain detachable metal key blades for manually locking or unlocking the driver's door, trunk, and the
glove compartment. Up to six remotes can be programmed for use on the same vehicle.
The PCCs have enhanced functionality compared with the standard remote control.
NOTE
In the remainder of this chapter, all references to the remote key also pertain to the PCC unless otherwise stated.
WARNING
Never leave the remote key in the ignition if children are to remain in the vehicle.
Detachable key blade
Each remote key or PCC contains a detachable metal key blade for mechanically locking or unlocking the driver's
door, trunk, and the glove compartment, and to enable the valet locking function. See page 57 for more information on

The S80 is equipped with a florescent handle on the inside of the trunk lid, which can be used in an emergency
situation to open the trunk from the inside. Pull the handle down to release the trunk lid. After use, the handle must be

This handle is not intended to be used to anchor the trunk lid when long loads are being transported.

WARNING
Keep vehicle doors and trunk locked and keep keys out of a child's reach. Unsupervised children could lock
themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.
On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people to these
high temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are
particularly at risk.

Seats
Rear seats
Folding down the rear seat backrests
The rear seat backrests can be folded down together, or separately, to make it easier to transport long objects.

1. Pull the release control handle(s).
2. Fold the backrest forward. Adjust the center seat head restraint if necessary.
NOTE
The outboard head restraints must be folded up (in the upright position) before lowering the backrests.
WARNING
Keep vehicle doors and the trunk locked and keep keys out of a child's reach. Unsupervised children could lock
themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.
On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people to these
high temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are
particularly at risk.
WARNING
When the backrest is returned to the upright position, check that it is properly locked in place. Return the head
restraints to the upright position.
Long loads should always be securely anchored to help avoid injury in the event of a sudden stop.
Always turn the engine off and apply the parking brake when loading/unloading the vehicle.
Place the transmission in the Park ( P) position to help prevent inadvertent movement of the gear selector.
The vehicle features a 60/40 split fold-down rear seat. The backrest(s) can be folded down by pulling the release
