Volvo Structural Parts Statement
Volvo is one of the leading companies for car safety.
Volvo engineers and manufactures vehicles designed to help protect vehicle occupants in theevent of a collision. Volvos are designed to absorb the impact of a collision. This energy absorption system including,but not limited to, structural components such asbumper reinforcement bars, bumper energyabsorbers, frames, rails, fender aprons, A-pillars,B-pillars and body panels must work together tomaintain cabin integrity and protect the vehicleoccupants. The supplemental restraint system including but not limited to air bags, side curtain air bags, anddeployment sensors work together with theabove components to provide proper timing forair bag deployment. Due to the above, Volvo Car USA does not sup- port the use of aftermarket, alternative or any-thing other than original Volvo parts for collisionrepair. Volvo Car USA also recommends using Volvo- approved replacement glass. The use of after-market glass, particularly a windshield, can havean adverse effect on collision avoidance andadvanced lighting systems. In addition Volvo does not support the use or re-use of structural components from an existingvehicle that has been previously damaged.Although these parts may appear equivalent, it isdifficult to tell if the parts have been previouslyreplaced with non-OE parts or if the part hasbeen damaged as a result of a prior collision. Thequality of these used parts may also have beenaffected due to environmental exposure.

Safety during pregnancy It is important that seat belts are worn correctly during pregnancy and that pregnant driversadjust their seating position accordingly.
Seat belt
The seat belt should fit closely against the shoul- der, with the diagonal section between thebreasts and to the side of the stomach. The lap section of the seat belt should lie flat over the thighs and as far as possible under thestomach. Never let it ride upward. Removeunnecessary slack and make sure the seat beltfits as close as possible to the body. Make surethere are no twists in the seat belt.
Seating positionAs pregnancy progresses, pregnant driversshould adjust the seat and steering wheel to aposition that allows them to retain full control of the vehicle (which means they should be able toeasily reach the steering wheel and foot pedals).Try to maintain as much distance as possiblebetween the stomach and the steering wheel.

Occupant safety Safety is Volvo's cornerstone.
Volvo's concern for safetyOur concern for safety dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the production line.Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safetycages, and energy-absorbing impact zones weredesigned into Volvo vehicles long before it wasfashionable or required by government regulation. We will not compromise our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safety fea-tures and to refine those already in our vehicles. You can help. We would appreciate hearing your suggestions about improving automobile safety. We also want to know if you ever have a safety concern with your vehicle. Call us in the U.S. at: 1-800-458-1552 or in Canada at: 1-800-663-8255.

Whiplash Protection System The Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) is designed to help reduce the risk of whiplash-type injuries. The system consists of energyabsorbing backrests and seat cushions as wellas specially designed head restraints in the frontseats.
WHIPS is activated in the event of a rear-end collision and adapted to the angle and speed ofthe collision and to the characteristics of the col-liding vehicle. When WHIPS is activated, the front seat back- rests move rearward and the seat cushions movedownward to change the seating positions of thedriver and front seat passenger. This movementhelps absorb some of the forces that could resultin whiplash.
WARNING
WHIPS is a supplement to the seat belt. Always wear your seat belt.
WARNING
Do not attempt to alter or repair the seat or WHIPS on your own. Volvo recommends con-tacting an authorized Volvo workshop. If the front seats have been subjected to severe stress, e.g. in a collision, the seatsmust be replaced. Even if the seats appearundamaged, some of their protective proper-ties may have been lost.
Do not place any objects on the floor behind or under the front seats or on the rear seat that could preventWHIPS from functioning correctly.

Starting and moving the vehiclewhen it is in safety mode If safety mode has been set, it may be possible to reset the system in order to start and movethe vehicle a short distance, for example, if it isblocking traffic.
Starting the vehicle when it is in safety mode
1. Check the vehicle for damage, particularly forfuel leakage. Make sure you do not detect any gasoline fumes. If the damage to the vehicle is minor and there is no fuel leakage/fumes, you mayattempt to start the engine.
WARNING
Never attempt to restart the vehicle if you smell fuel fumes when the message Safety
mode See Owner's manual is displayed in
the instrument panel. Leave the vehicle imme- diately.
2. Switch off the ignition. 3. Then try to start the vehicle.
> The vehicle's electrical system will per-form a system check and then attempt to reset to normal operating mode.
CAUTION
If the message Safety mode See Owner's
manual is still displayed, the vehicle should
not be driven or towed behind another vehi- cle. If the vehicle needs to be moved, it mustbe towed on a tow truck. Even if no damageis apparent, there may be hidden damage thatcould make the vehicle impossible to control.
Moving the vehicle when it is in safety mode
1. If the message Normal mode The vehicle
is now in normal mode is displayed after
attempting to start the engine, the vehicle may be moved carefully from its presentposition if, for example, it is blocking traffic.
2. Do not move the vehicle farther than abso- lutely necessary.

Handling the center display
Many of the vehicle's functions and features can be controlled and adjusted from the center dis-play. The center display is a touchscreen thatreacts to taps and other gestures.
Using the center display's touchscreenThe touchscreen reacts differently depending on whether the user taps, drags or swipes thescreen. It is possible to e.g. move between differ- ent views, mark objects, scroll in a list and moveapps by touching the screen in various ways. An infrared light curtain just above the surface of the screen enables the screen to detect when afinger is directly in front of the screen. This tech-nology makes it possible to use the screen evenwhile wearing gloves. Two people can interact with the screen at the same time, e.g. to adjust climate system settingsfor both the driver and passenger sides.
CAUTION
Do not use sharp objects on the screen as this could cause scratches.
The following table presents the various proce- dures for using the screen:

STARTING AND DRIVING
}}
405
Brakes The brake pedal is used to apply the vehicle's regular brakes, which are part of the brake sys-tem.
The vehicle is equipped with two brake circuits. If one brake circuit is damaged, the brake pedal willgo down further when depressed. More pressurewill then be required from the driver for normalbraking effect. The driver's pressure on the brake pedal is enhanced by a power braking function.
WARNING
Power braking only functions if the engine is running.
If the brake pedal is used when the engine is turned off, the pedal will feel stiffer than usualand greater pressure must be applied to brakethe vehicle. In very hilly areas or when driving with a heavy load, manual gear shifting can be used to aug-ment the brakes with engine braking. Enginebraking is most effective if the same gear is usedboth uphill and downhill.
Anti-lock brakesThe vehicle is equipped with an Anti-lock BrakingSystem (ABS), which can help prevent thewheels from locking and help maintain steeringcontrol when braking. Vibrations may be felt from the brake pedal when ABS is operating, which isnormal. After the vehicle is started, a brief test of the ABS system is automatically performed when thedriver releases the brake pedal. An additionalautomatic test of the system may be performedwhen the vehicle is traveling at a low speed. Dur-ing the test, the brake pedal may feel as though itis pulsating.

Brake Assist System
The brake enhancing system, Brake Assist
System (BAS), helps increase braking force andthereby reduce braking distance.
The system monitors the driver's braking habits and increases braking force when necessary.Braking force can be increased up to the point atwhich the ABS intervenes. The function is deacti-vated when pressure on the brake pedal isdecreased.
NOTE
When BAS is activated, the brake pedal will go down slightly more than usual. Press(hold) down the brake pedal as long as nec-essary. When the brake pedal is released, all braking ceases.

• Brakes (p. 405)
Braking on wet roads
Prolonged driving in heavy rain without braking may cause braking effect to be slightly delayedthe first time the brakes are applied.
This may also occur after washing the vehicle. It will then be necessary to apply greater pressureto the brake pedal. You should therefore maintaina greater distance to the vehicle ahead. Firmly apply the brakes after washing the vehicle or driving on wet roads. This helps warm up thebrake discs, enabling them to dry more quicklyand protecting them against corrosion. Considerthe current traffic situation when braking.
