remove seats VOLVO V4 2003 Owners Manual

The rear head restraints can be adjusted according to the passenger's height. The restraint should be carefully adjusted
to support the occupant's head.
The head restraint can be raised by pulling straight up or lowered by pressing the catch (1) at the base of the left head
restraint support and pushing down.
Removing/replacing the head restraints
When folding the rear seats flat for carrying cargo ( see page 55), head restraints should be fully removed by pulling all
the way up, pressing the catch at base of the left support and pulling the head restraint all the way out. Be sure to
reinstall and adjust head restraints to their proper position before allowing passengers to occupy the seats.

Passenger side SRS hatch
As an enhancement to the three-point seat belt system, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS). The Volvo SRS consists of an airbag (2) on both the driver's and passenger's sides and seat belt tensioners in
both front door pillars (4). The system is designed to supplement the protection provided by the three-point seat belt
system.
The SRS system is indicated by the "SRS" embossed on the steering wheel pad and above the glove compartment, and
by decals on both sun visors and on the far right side of the dash.
The airbags are folded and located in the steering wheel hub and above the glove compartment. They are designed to
deploy during certain frontal or front -angular collisions, impacts, or decelerations, depending on the crash severity,
angle, speed and object impacted. The airbags may also deploy in certain non-frontal collisions where rapid
deceleration occurs.
The airbag system includes inflators (1) surrounded by the airbags (2) and front seat belt tensioners for both of the
front seats (4). To deploy the system, the sensor (3) activates the gas generators causing the airbags to be inflated with
nitrogen gas. As the movement of the seats' occupants compresses the airbags, some of the gas is expelled at a
controlled rate to provide better cushioning. Both seat belt tensioners also deploy, minimizing any seat belt slack.
