Seat belt tensioners
The vehicle is equipped with standard and elec-tric seat belt tensioners that can help tension theseat belt in a critical situation or collision.
Standard seat belt tensioners
All seat belts are equipped with a standard seatbelt tensioner.
In a collision of sufficiently violent force, the seatbelt tensioners will tension the seat belts in orderto more effectively restrain the occupants.
Electric seat belt tensioners
The driver's and front passenger's seat belts areequipped with electric seat belt tensioners.
The seat belt tensioners interact and can be acti-vated in conjunction with the City Safety andRear Collision Warning driver support systems. Incritical situations, such as if the vehicle brakessuddenly, begins to skid or runs off the road (e.gif the vehicle rolls into a ditch, lifts off the groundor hits an obstacle in the road), or if there is a riskof collision, the seat belts can be pulled taut bythe seat belt tensioner's electric motor.
The electric seat belt tensioner helps to positionthe occupant more effectively in the seat, whichreduces the risk of the occupant striking the inte-rior of the passenger compartment and improvesthe effect of other safety systems such as theairbags.
When a critical situation has passed, the seat beltand the electric seat belt tensioner are resetautomatically. However, they can also be resetmanually.
WARNING
Never attempt to alter or repair the seat belton your own. Volvo recommends contactingan authorized Volvo workshop.
If the seat belt has been exposed to extremeforces, e.g. in conjunction with a collision, theentire seat belt must be replaced. Even if theseat belt appears undamaged, some of itsprotective properties may have been lost. Alsoreplace the seat belt if it is worn or damaged.The new seat belt must be type approved andintended for the same seating position as thereplaced seat belt.

Occupant weight sensor (p. 56)
Occupant weight sensor
The Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) isdesigned to meet the regulatory requirements ofFederal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)208 and is designed to disable (will not inflate)the passenger's side front airbag under certainconditions.
Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) indicator light
Disabling the passenger's side front
airbag
Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adultsand children) shorter than 140 cm (4 feet7 inches) be seated in the back seat of any vehi-cle with a front passenger side airbag and beproperly restrained for their size and weight.
The OWS works with sensors that are part of thefront passenger's seat and seat belt. The sensorsare designed to detect the presence of a properly
seated occupant and determine if the passeng-er's side front airbag should be enabled (mayinflate) or disabled (will not inflate).
The OWS will disable (will not inflate) the pas-senger's side front airbag when:
the front passenger's seat is unoccupied, orhas small/medium objects in the front seat,
the system determines that an infant is pres-ent in a rear-facing infant seat that is instal-led according to the manufacturer's instruc-tions,
the system determines that a small child ispresent in a forward-facing child restraintthat is installed according to the manufactur-er's instructions,
the system determines that a small child ispresent in a booster seat,
a front passenger takes his/her weight off ofthe seat for a period of time,
a child or a small person occupies the frontpassenger's seat.
The OWS uses a PASSENGER AIRBAG OFFindicator lamp which will illuminate and stay on toremind you that the passenger's side front airbagis disabled. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indi-cator lamp is located in the overhead console,near the base of the rearview mirror.

NOTE
When the ignition is switched on, the OWSindicator light will illuminate for several sec-onds while the system performs a self-diag-nostic test.
However, if a fault is detected in the system:
The OWS indicator light will stay on
The SRS warning light will come on and stayon and a text message will be displayed.
WARNING
If a fault in the system is detected and indi-cated as described, be aware that the pas-senger's side front airbag will not deploy inthe event of a collision. In this case, the SRSsystem and Occupant Weight Sensor shouldbe inspected by a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician as soon as possible.
WARNING
Never try to open, remove or repair anycomponents in the OWS system. Thiscould cause the system to malfunction.Maintenance or repairs should only becarried out by an a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician.
The front passenger's seat should not bemodified in any way. This could reducepressure on the seat cushion, whichmight interfere with the OWS system'sfunction.

AVolvo recommends that children always be properly restrainedin appropriate child restraints in the rear seats. Do not assumethat the passenger's side front airbag is disabled unless thePASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is lit. Make sure thechild restraint is properly installed. If there is any doubt as to thestatus of the passenger's side front airbag, move the childrestraint to the rear seat.
The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate) thepassenger's side front airbag in the event of acollision anytime the system senses that a per-son of adult size is sitting properly in the frontpassenger's seat. The PASSENGER AIRBAGOFF indicator lamp will be off and remain off.
If a person of adult size is sitting in the front pas-senger's seat, but the PASSENGER AIRBAGOFF indicator lamp is on, it is possible that the

person isn't sitting properly in the seat. If thishappens:
Turn the vehicle off and ask the person toplace the backrest in an upright position.
Have the person sit upright in the seat, cen-tered on the seat cushion, with the person'slegs comfortably extended.
Restart the vehicle and have the personremain in this position for about two minutes.This will allow the system to detect that per-son and enable the passenger's frontal air-bag.
If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicatorlamp remains on even after this, the personshould be advised to ride in the rear seat.
This indicates limitations in OWS classificationcapability. It does not indicate OWS malfunction.

WARNING
No objects that add to the total weight onthe seat should be placed on the frontpassenger's seat. If a child is seated inthe front passenger's seat with any addi-tional weight, this extra weight couldcause the OWS system to enable the air-bag, which might cause it to deploy in theevent of a collision, thereby injuring thechild.
The seat belt should never be wrappedaround an object on the front passeng-er's seat. This could interfere with theOWS system's function.
The front passenger's seat belt shouldnever be used in a way that exerts morepressure on the passenger than normal.This could increase the pressure exertedon the weight sensor by a child, andcould result in the airbag being enabled,which might cause it to deploy in theevent of a collision, thereby injuring thechild.

WARNING
Keep the following points in mind withrespect to the OWS system. Failure tofollow these instructions could adverselyaffect the system's function and result inserious injury to the occupant of the frontpassenger's seat:
The full weight of the front seat passen-ger should always be on the seat cushion.The passenger should never lift him/herself off the seat cushion using thearmrest in the door or the center console,by pressing the feet on the floor, by sit-ting on the edge of the seat cushion, orby pressing against the backrest in a waythat reduces pressure on the seat cush-ion. This could cause OWS to disable thefront, passenger's side airbag.
WARNING
Do not place any type of object on thefront passenger's seat in such a way thatjamming, pressing, or squeezing occursbetween the object and the front seat,other than as a direct result of the correctuse of the Automatic Locking Retractor/Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR)seat belt.
No objects should be placed under thefront passenger's seat. This could inter-fere with the OWS system's function.

Driver/passenger-side airbags (p. 53)
Side airbags
The side airbags, on the driver's and passengersides, protect the chest and hip in a collision.
The side airbags are located in the front seats'outer backrest frames and help protect the driverand front seat passenger.
A collision of a sufficiently violent force will trig-ger the sensors and one or more side airbags willinflate. The side airbags inflate between the seatoccupant and the door panel to help cushion theinitial impact of the collision. The airbag deflateswhen compressed by the collision. The side air-bags are normally only deployed on the side ofthe vehicle impacted by the collision.
