Recording data
Certain information about the vehicle's opera- tion and functionality, and any incidents, arerecorded in the car. Your vehicle contains a number of computers whose function is to continuously check andmonitor the vehicle's operation and function-ality. Some of the computers can recordinformation during normal driving if theydetect an error. In addition, information isrecorded in the event of a collision or inci-dent. Parts of the recorded information arerequired so that technicians can diagnoseand rectify faults in the vehicle during servic-ing and maintenance and so that Volvo canfulfil legal requirements and other regulations.In addition to this, the information is used forresearch purposes by Volvo in order to con-tinually develop quality and safety, as theinformation can contribute to a better under-standing of the factors that cause accidentsand injuries. The information includes detailsof the status and functionality of various sys-tems and modules in the vehicle with regardto engine, throttle, steering and brake sys-tems, amongst other things. This informationmay include details regarding the way thedriver drives the vehicle, such as vehiclespeed, brake and accelerator pedal use,steering wheel movement and whether or notthe driver and passengers have used theirseatbelts. For the reasons given this informa-tion may be stored in the vehicle's computers for a certain length of time, but also as aresult of a collision or incident. This informa-tion may be stored by Volvo as long as it canhelp to further develop and further enhancesafety and quality and as long as there arelegal requirements and other regulations thatVolvo needs to consider. Volvo will not contribute to the above-descri- bed information being disclosed to third par-ties without the vehicle owner's consent.However, due to national legislation and reg-ulations Volvo may be required to disclosesuch information to authorities such as policeauthorities, or others who may assert a legalright to have access to it. To be able to read and interpret the informa- tion recorded by the computers in the vehiclerequires special technical equipment thatVolvo, and workshops that have entered intoagreements with Volvo, have access to. Volvois responsible that the information, which istransferred to Volvo during servicing andmaintenance, is stored and handled in asecure manner and that the handling com-plies with applicable legal requirements.

General information on seatbelts
Heavy braking can have serious consequen- ces if the seatbelts are not used. Ensure thatall passengers are using their seatbelts duringthe journey.
It is important that the seatbelt lies against the body so it can provide maximum protec-tion. Do not lean the backrest too far back.The seatbelt is designed to protect in a nor-mal seating position. Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fas- ten (p. 24) their seatbelt by means of anaudio and visual reminder (p. 26).
Remember
•Do not use clips or anything else that can prevent the seatbelt from fitting properly.
• The seatbelt must not be twisted orcaught on anything. •
The hip strap must be positioned lowdown (not over the abdomen).
• Tension the hip strap over the lap by pull-ing the diagonal shoulder belt up towardsthe shoulder.
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seatbelt is not used or is used incorrectly,this may diminish the protection providedby the airbag in the event of a collision.
WARNING
Each seatbelt is designed for only one per- son.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seatbelts your- self. Volvo recommends that you contactan authorised Volvo workshop. If a seatbelt has been subjected to a major load, such as in conjunction with a colli-sion, the entire seatbelt must be replaced.Some of the protective characteristics ofthe seatbelt may have been lost, even if itappears to be undamaged. In addition,replace the seatbelt if the belt is worn ordamaged. The new seatbelt must be type-approved and intended for installation inthe same position as the replaced seatbelt.

Seatbelt - pregnancy
Seatbelt (p. 23) must always be worn during pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn inthe correct way.
G020998
The diagonal section should wrap over the shoulder then be routed between the breastsand to the side of the abdomen. The lap section should lay flat over the thighs and as low as possible under the abdomen. –It must never be allowed to ride upward.Remove the slack from the seatbelt andensure that it fits as close to the body as pos-sible. In addition, check that there are notwists in the seatbelt. As the pregnancy progresses, pregnant dri- vers must adjust the seat (p. 72) and steer-ing wheel (p. 76) such that they can easilymaintain control of the vehicle as they drive(which means that they must be able to easilyoperate the foot pedals and steering wheel). The aim should be to position the seat with aslarge a distance as possible between abdo-men and steering wheel.

Seatbelt reminder
Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fas-ten their (p. 24) seatbelt by means of an audio and visual reminder.
G017726
The audio reminder is speed dependent, and in some cases time dependent. The visualreminder is located in the roof console and inthe combined instrument panel (p. 59). Child seats are not covered by the seatbelt reminder system.
Rear seatThe seatbelt reminder in the rear seat has twosubfunctions:
• Provides information on which seatbelts (p. 23) are being used in the rear seat. Amessage appears in the combined instru-ment panel when the seatbelts are in use,or if one of the rear doors has beenopened. The message is cleared auto- matically after driving for approximately30 seconds or after pressing the indicatorstalk (p. 100)
OK button.
• Provides a warning if one of the rear seat-belts is unfastened during travel. Thiswarning takes the form of a message inthe combined instrument panel along withthe audio/visual signal. The warning stopswhen the seatbelt is re-fastened, or it canalso be acknowledged manually bypressing the
OK button.
The message in the combined instrument panel showing which seatbelts are in use isalways shown. Press the OK button to see
stored messages.
Certain marketsAn acoustic signal and indicator lamp remindthe driver and front seat passenger to use aseatbelt if either of them is not wearing one.At low speed, the audible reminder will soundfor the first 6 seconds.
Seatbelt tensioner
All the seatbelts (p. 23) are equipped with belt tensioners. A mechanism in the seatbelt ten-sioner tightens the seatbelt in the event of asufficiently violent collision. The seatbelt thenprovides more effective restraint for the occu-pants.
WARNING
Never insert the tongue of the passenger's seatbelt into the buckle on the driver'sside. Always insert the tongue of the seat-belt into the buckle on the correct side. Donot make any damages on seatbelts norinsert any foreign objects into a buckle.The seatbelts and buckles would thenpossibly not function as intended in theevent of a collision. There is a risk ofserous injury.

bol is extinguished after approx. 6 secondsprovided the airbag system is fault-free.

Airbag system
In the event of a frontal collision the airbag system helps to protect the driver and pas-senger from injuries to head, face and chest.
G018665
Airbag system, left-hand drive car.
G018666
Airbag system, right-hand drive car.The system consists of airbags and sensors. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensorsand the airbag(s) are inflated and becomehot. To cushion the impact, the airbagdeflates when compressed. When thisoccurs, smoke escapes into the car. This iscompletely normal. The entire process,including inflation and deflation of the airbag,occurs within tenths of a second.
WARNING
Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop for repair.Defective work in the airbag system couldcause malfunction and result in seriouspersonal injury.
NOTE
The detectors react differently depending on the nature of the collision and whetheror not the seatbelts are fastened. Appliesto all belt positions. It is therefore possible that only one (or none) of the airbags may inflate in a colli-sion. The detectors sense the force of thecollision on the vehicle and the action isadapted accordingly so that one or moreairbags are deployed.

Location of the front passenger airbag in a right- hand drive car.
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If the belt is not used or is used incorrectly, thismay diminish the protection provided bythe airbag in the event of a collision. To minimise the risk of injury if the airbag deploys, passengers must sit as upright aspossible with their feet on the floor andbacks against the backrest. Seatbeltsmust be secured.

No one shorter than 140 cm should ever sit in the front passenger seat if the airbagis activated. Failure to follow the advice given above can endanger life.
