Side impact protection (SIPS) airbags
01``27 General information
G020694
Location of the side impact (SIPS) airbags (front
seats only)As an enhancement to the structural side
impact protection built into your vehicle, it is
also equipped with Side Impact Protection
System (SIPS) airbags.
The SIPS airbag system is designed to help
increase occupant protection in the event of
certain side impact collisions. The SIPS air-
bags are designed to deploy only during cer-
tain side-impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and point of
impact.
G024377
SIPS airbag deploymentSIPS airbag deployment (one airbag) occurs
only on the side of the vehicle affected by the
impact. The airbags are not designed to deploy
in all side impact situations.

only on the side of the vehicle affected by
the impact. The airbags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact situations.Components in the SIPS airbag systemThis SIPS airbag system consists of a gas gen-
erator, the side airbag modules built into the
outboard sides of both front seat backrests,
and electronic sensors/wiring.

Driving after a collisionIf the vehicle has been involved in a collision,
the text
SAFETY MODE SEE MANUAL
may
appear in the information display. This indi-
cates that the vehicle's functionality has been
reduced.
NOTE
This text can only be shown if the display is
undamaged and the vehicle's electrical sys-
tem is intact.Safety mode is a feature that is triggered if one
or more of the safety systems (e.g. front or side
airbags, an inflatable curtain, or one or more of
the seat belt pretensioners) has deployed. The
collision may have damaged an importantfunction in the vehicle, such as the fuel lines,
sensors for one of the safety systems, the
brake system, etc.
WARNING
•
Never attempt to repair the vehicle
yourself or to reset the electrical system
after the vehicle has displayed
SAFETY
MODE SEE MANUAL
. This could
result in injury or improper system func-
tion.
•
Restoring the vehicle to normal operat-
ing status should only be done by a
trained and qualified Volvo service tech-
nician.
•
After
SAFETY MODE SEE MANUAL
has been displayed, if you detect the
odor of fuel vapor, or see any signs of
fuel leakage, do not attempt to start the
vehicle. Leave the vehicle immediately.
Attempting to start the vehicleIf damage to the vehicle is minor and there is
no fuel leakage, you may attempt to start the
vehicle. To do so:
1. Remove the remote control from the igni-
tion slot.2. Reinsert the remote in the ignition slot. The
vehicle will then attempt to reset Safety
mode to normal status.
3. Try to start the vehicle.
Moving the vehicleIf the electrical system is able to reset system
status to normal (
SAFETY MODE SEE
MANUAL
will no longer be shown in the dis-
play), the vehicle may be moved carefully from
its present position, if for example, it is blocking
traffic. It should, however, not be moved farther
than is absolutely necessary.
WARNING
Even if the vehicle appears to be drivable
after Safety mode has been set, it should
not be driven or towed (pulled by another
vehicle). There may be concealed damage
that could make it difficult or impossible to
control. The vehicle should be transported
on a flatbed tow truck to a trained and quali-
fied Volvo service technician for inspection/
repairs.

Child restraint systems
01``35 Child restraints
G022840
Infant seatThere are three main types of child restraint
systems: infant seats, convertible seats, and
booster cushions. They are classified accord-
ing to the child's age and size.
The following section provides general infor-
mation on securing a child restraint using a
three-point seat belt. Refer to page 42–43
for information on securing a child restraint
using ISOFIX lower anchors and/or top tether
anchorages.
G022847
Convertible seat
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 posi-
tion.
G023269
Booster cushion
WARNING
Always refer to the child restraint manufac-
turer's instructions for detailed information
on securing the restraint.

WARNING
•An infant seat must be in the rear-facing
position only.•The infant seat should not be positioned
behind the driver's seat unless there is
adequate space for safe installation.
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

restraint more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) in any
direction.The convertible seat can be removed by
unbuckling the seat belt and letting it retract
completely.

NOTE
If none of the indicator lights flash when the
information button has been pressed sev-
eral times from different places in relation to
the vehicle, contact an authorized Volvo
service technician.The indicator lights
provide information
according to the illustration:
G030262
Steady green light: the vehicle is correctly
locked.Steady yellow light: the vehicle is not
locked.Alternatively flashing red lights (Heartbeat
sensor): if the two heartbeat sensor lights
flash, this indicates that someone may beinside the vehicle. These lights are only
activated if the alarm has been triggered.
Steady red light: the alarm has been trig-
gered.
RangeThe PCC's lock and unlock functions have a
range of approximately 60 ft. (20 m) from the
vehicle.
NOTE
•
The approach lighting, panic alarm, and
the functions controlled by the informa-
tion button have a range of approxi-
mately 300 ft (100 m) from the vehicle.
•
Buildings or other obstacles may inter-
fere with the function of the PCC.
Outside of the PCC´s rangeIf the PCC is more than approximately 300 ft
(100 m) from the vehicle when the information
button is pressed, no new information will be
received. The PCC most recently used to lock
or unlock the vehicle will show the vehicle's
most recently received status. The indicator
lights will not flash when the information button
is pressed while the PCC is out of range.If more than one PCC is used to lock/unlock
the vehicle, only the one used most recently will
show the correct locking status.
NOTE
If none of the indicator lights illuminate when
the information button is pressed, this may
be because the most recent transmission
between the vehicle and the PCC was inter-
rupted or impeded by buildings or other
objects.Heartbeat SensorThe heartbeat sensor function
is a comple-
ment to the vehicle's standard alarm, and indi-
cates at a distance of up to 300 ft (100 m) that
someone may be in the vehicle. The heartbeat
sensor only functions if the alarm has been
triggered.
NOTE
The heartbeat sensor registers a person's
heartbeat in the form of vibrations in the
vehicle's chassis. For this reason, the sen-
sor's function may be impaired in areas with
high levels of noise or vibrations.Keyless driveVehicles equipped with the optional Personal
Car Communicator have the keyless drive
