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.

Safety mode - attempting to start the car
If the car is set in safety mode (p. 37) then an attempt to start the car can be made if every-thing seems normal and the absence of fuelleakage has been checked. First, check that no fuel is leaking from the car. There must be no smell of fuel either. If everything seems normal and you have checked for indications of fuel leakage, youmay attempt to start the car. Remove the remote control key and open the driver's door. If a message is now shown tothe effect that the ignition is on, press thestart button. Then close the door and reinsertthe remote control key. The car's electronicswill now try to reset themselves to normalmode. Then try to start the car. If the message
Safety mode See manual is
still shown on the display then the car must not be driven or towed but a vehicle recoveryservice (p. 316) used instead. Even if the carappears to be driveable, hidden damage maymake the car impossible to control once mov-ing.
WARNING
Never, under any circumstances, attempt to restart the car if it smells of fuel when the
Safety mode See manual message
is displayed. Leave the car at once.

Active high beam - AHBActive high beam (Active High Beam - AHB) isa function which uses a camera sensor at thetop edge of the windscreen to detect theheadlamp beams of oncoming traffic or therear lights of vehicles in front, and thenswitches from main beam to dipped beam.The function can also take streetlights intoaccount. Car with halogen headlamps The lighting returns to main beam about a second after the camera sensor no longerdetects the headlamp beams from oncomingtraffic or the rear lights from vehicles in front.

Heated washer nozzles*The washer nozzles are heated automaticallyin cold weather to prevent the washer fluidfreezing solid.
High-pressure headlamp washing*High-pressure headlamp washing consumesa large quantity of washer fluid. To save fluid,the headlamps are washed automatically atevery fifth windscreen wash cycle.
Reduced washingIf only approx. 1 litre of washer fluid remainsin the reservoir and the message that youshould fill the washer fluid is shown in thecombined instrument panel, then the supplyof washer fluid to the headlamps is switchedoff. This is in order to prioritise cleaning thewindscreen and the visibility through it.
