Introduction to vehicle gas (Bi- Fuel) *
Cars with Bi-Fuel engines can be driven on either vehicle gas or petrol. Vehicle gas can bebiogas or natural gas, or a mixture of the two.Vehicle gas is also called CNG (CompressedNatural Gas).
Methane is the main component in vehicle gas. In natural gas, the methane content varies between85% and 98%. In biogas, the content is almost100%. The tanks for vehicle gas are mounted under the floor in the cargo area and do not affect the nor-mal petrol tank. The system is tested in the same way as for pet- rol cars. The system is closed which means thatleaks are avoided during filling, for example. Thegas tanks are protected and are made to with-stand a collision. The gas is lighter than air, non-toxic and has a higher ignition temperature thanpetrol and diesel. The risk of fire or explosions inthe event of traffic accidents is therefore lowerthan with petrol and diesel. The tank is equipped with a safety valve that allows the gas to evacuate from the tank in theevent of abnormally high pressures. This valveensures that the tank cannot explode.
WARNING
In the event of an accident, the vehicle must be inspected and approved by an authorisedVolvo workshop before it may be used again.Always notify the emergency services on sitethat the vehicle is equipped with a CNG-sys-tem.
WARNING
Smoking and naked flames are prohibited during refuelling, service and repair work. Inthe event of a possible fire, leave the vehicleimmediately and stand a safe distance away. Do not under any circumstances disassemble or adjust the system or its component partsyourself. Carrying out such acts entails risk ofserious personal injury. All service and repairwork must therefore, for safety reasons, onlybe carried out by a trained mechanic - anauthorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
WARNING
If you smell gas in or around the vehicle, switch over to petrol immediately and havethe vehicle checked by the nearest trainedmechanics. If the car is placed in a spray/paint curing booth with a drying temperature higher than60 °C the system pressure must not exceed50 bar, check that the CNG tank is almostempty for this.

Safety
The vehicle is equipped with several safety sys- tems that work together to protect the vehicle'sdriver and passengers in the event of an acci-dent.
The car is equipped with a number of sensors that react in the event of an accident and activatedifferent safety systems, such as different typesof airbags and seatbelt tensioners. Depending onthe specific accident situation, such as collisionsat different angles, rollover or driving off the road,the systems react in different ways to provide thebest protection. There are also mechanical safety systems such as Whiplash Protection System. The car is alsoconstructed so that a large part of the force of acollision is distributed to beams, pillars, floor, roofand other parts of the body. The car's safety mode may be activated after a collision if an important function in the car hasbeen damaged.
Warning symbol in driver displayThe warning symbol is illuminated inthe driver display when the car's elec-trical system is set in ignition position II . The symbol is extinguished after
approx. 6 seconds if the car's safety system is fault-free.
WARNING
If the warning symbol remains illuminated or is switched on during driving and the mes- sage
SRS airbag Service urgent Drive to
workshop is shown in the driver display, it
means that part of one of the safety systems does not have full functionality. Volvo recom-mends that an authorised Volvo workshopshould be contacted as soon as possible.
If the specific warning symbol is broken then the general warning symbol is illu-minated instead and the driver displayshows the same message.

Safety during pregnancy It is important that the seatbelt is used correctly during pregnancy, and that pregnant driversadjust their seating position.
Seatbelt
The diagonal section should wrap over the shoul- der then be routed between the breasts and tothe side of the abdomen. The lap section should lay flat over the thighs and as low as possible under the abdomen. – It mustnever be allowed to ride upward. Remove theslack from the seatbelt and ensure that it fits asclose to the body as possible. In addition, checkthat there are no twists in the seatbelt.
Seating positionAs the pregnancy progresses, pregnant driversmust adjust the seat and steering wheel suchthat they can easily maintain control of the vehi-

Whiplash Protection System Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) is a pro- tection against whiplash injuries. The systemconsists of energy-absorbing backrests and seatcushions, and specially designed head restraintsin the front seats.
WHIPS is deployed in the event of a rear-end collision, where the angle and speed of the colli-sion and the nature of the colliding vehicle allhave an influence. When WHIPS is deployed, the front seat back- rests are lowered backward and the seat cush-ions move downward to change the seating posi-tion of the driver and front seat passenger. Thisreduces the risk of whiplash injury.
WARNING
WHIPS is a supplement to the seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS yourself. Volvo recommends that an author-ised Volvo workshop should be contacted. If the front seats have been subjected to a major load, such as in conjunction with a colli-sion, the seats must be replaced. Some of theseats' protective properties may have beenlost even if they do not appear damaged.
Do not leave any objects on the floor behind or under the front seats or in the rear seat that may preventWHIPS from functioning.
WARNING
Do not squeeze rigid objects between the rear seat cushion and the front seat's back-rest.
WARNING
If a rear seat backrest is folded down, the cor- responding front seat must be moved forwardso that it does not make contact with thefolded backrest.
Seating positionFor optimum protection from WHIPS the driver and passenger must have the correct seatingposition and make sure that the system's func-tion is not obstructed.

SAFETY
* Option/accessory.
58 Set the correct seating position in the front seat before driving starts. Driver and front seat passenger should sit in the centre of the seat with as little space as possiblebetween the head and the head restraint.
WHIPS and child seatsThe protection provided by the car to childrenseated in a child seat or on a booster cushion isnot diminished by WHIPS.

Pedestrian Protection System
The Pedestrian Protection System (PPS) is a system which, in certain frontal collisions, con-tributes to mitigating a pedestrian's impact withthe car.
In certain frontal collisions with a pedestrian, the sensors in the front of the car react and the sys-tem is activated. When PPS is activated, the following occur:
• The rear section of the bonnet is raised.
• An automatic alarm is sent via Volvo On Call
*.
The sensors are active at a speed of approx. 25-50 km/h (15-30 mph). The sensors are designed to detect a collision with an object that has similar properties to thoseof the human leg.
NOTE
There may be objects in the traffic environ- ment that prompt a signal to the sensors thatis similar to a collision with a pedestrian. It ispossible that the system will be activated inthe event of a collision with such an object.
WARNING
Do not fit any accessories or change anything in the front. Incorrect intervention at the frontmay cause incorrect function in the systemand lead to serious injury and damage to thecar. Volvo recommends that genuine wiper arms are used and that only genuine parts are usedfor them.
WARNING
Volvo recommends contacting an authorised Volvo workshop in the event of any damage tothe front of the car in order to ensure that thesystem is intact.
