Introduction
Environment9
Volvo and the environment
Volvo is committed to the well being of its cus-
tomers. As a natural part of this commitment,
we care about the environment in which we all
live. Caring for the environment means an
everyday involvement in reducing our environ-
mental impact. Volvo\fs environmental activities
are based on a holistic view, which means we
consider the overall environmental impact of a
product throughout its complete life cycle. In
this context, design, production, product use,
and recycling are all important considerations.
In production, Volvo has partly or completely
phased out several chemicals including CFCs,
lead chromates, asbestos, and cadmium; and
reduced the number of chemicals used in our
plants 50% since 1991.
Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into
production a three-way catalytic converter with
a Lambda sond, now called the heated oxygen
sensor, in 1976. The current version of this
highly efficient system reduces emissions of
harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the
exhaust pipe by approximately 95 – 99% and
the search to eliminate the remaining emis-
sions continues. Volvo is the only automobile
manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for
the air conditioning system of all models as far
back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced elec-
tronic engine controls and cleaner fuels are
bringing us closer to our goal. After Volvo vehi-
cles and parts have fulfilled their use, recycling
is the next critical step in completing the life
cycle. The metal content is about 75% of the
total weight of a vehicle, which makes the vehi-
cle among the most recycled industrial prod-
ucts. In order to have efficient and well-con-
trolled recycling, dismantling information is
available for all Volvo models. For Volvo, all
homogeneous plastic parts weighing more
than 3.4 oz. (100 grams) are marked with inter-
national symbols that indicate how the com-
ponent is to be sorted for recycling. In addition
to continuous environmental refinement of
conventional gasoline-powered internal com-
bustion engines, Volvo is actively looking at
advanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles.
When you drive a Volvo, you become our part-
ner in the work to lessen the car\fs impact on
the environment. To reduce your vehicle\fs
environmental impact, you can:
\b
Maintain proper air pressure in your tires.
Tests have shown decreased fuel econ-
omy with improperly inflated tires.
\b Follow the recommended maintenance
schedule in your Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet.
\b Drive at a constant speed whenever pos-
sible.
\b See a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician as soon as possible for inspec-
tion if the check engine (malfunction indi- cator) light illuminates, or stays on after the
vehicle has started.
\b Properly dispose of any vehicle-related
waste such as used motor oil, used batter-
ies, brake pads, etc.
\b When cleaning your vehicle, please use
genuine Volvo car care products. All Volvo
car care products are formulated to be
environmentally friendly.

12 Volvo\fs concern for safety
Safety is Volvo\fs cornerstone. Our concern
dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled
off the production line. Three-point seat belts
(a Volvo invention), safety cages, and energy-
absorbing impact zones were designed into
Volvo vehicles long before it was fashionable
or required by government regulation.
We will not compromize our commitment to
safety. We continue to seek out new safety
features and to refine those already in our vehi-
cles. You can help. We would appreciate hear-
ing your suggestions about improving automo-
bile 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.
Occupant safety remindersHow safely you drive doesn\ft depend on how
old you are but rather on:
\b
How well you see.
\b Your ability to concentrate.
\b How quickly you make decisions under
stress to avoid an accident.
The following suggestions are intended to help
you cope with the ever changing traffic envi-
ronment. \b
Never drink and drive.
\b If you are taking any medication, consult
your physician about its potential effects
on your driving abilities.
\b Take a driver-retraining course.
\b Have your eyes checked regularly.
\b Keep your windshield and headlights
clean.
\b Replace wiper blades when they start to
leave streaks.
\b Take into account the traffic, road, and
weather conditions, particularly with
regard to stopping distance.

01 Safety
Seat belts01

15
WARNING\b
Never repair the belt yourself; have this
work done by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician only.
\b Any device used to induce slack into the
shoulder belt portion of the three-point
belt system will have a detrimental
effect on the amount of protection avail-
able to you in the event of a collision.
\b The seat back should not be tilted too
far back. The shoulder belt must be taut
in order to function properly.
\b Do not use child safety seats or child
booster cushions/backrests in the front
passenger\fs seat. We also recommend
that children who have outgrown these
devices sit in the rear seat with the seat
belt properly fastened. Seat belt reminder
Seat belt reminder light in ceiling console
The seat belt reminder consists of an audible
signal, an indicator light near the rearview mir-
ror and a symbol in the instrument panel that
alert all occupants of the vehicle to fasten their
seat belts. The audible signal and warning light
will be on for a total of 6 seconds from the time
the ignition is switched on,
regardless of
whether or not the seat belts are fastened.
If the front seat belts are unbuckled while the
vehicle is in motion, the audible signal and
warning light will be active for a total of 6 sec-
onds.
Rear seatsThe seat belt reminder in the rear seat has two
additional functions: \b
It provides information about which seat
belts are fastened in the rear seat. A mes-
sage will appear in the information display
when a belt is being used. This message
will disappear after approximately 6 sec-
onds or can be erased by pressing the
READ button on the left steering wheel
lever.
\b It also provides a reminder if one of the
occupants of the rear seat has unbuckled
his/her seat belt while the vehicle is in
motion. A visual and audible signal will be
given. These signals will stop when the
seat belt has been re-buckled or can be
stopped by pressing the
READ button.
The message in the information display can
always be accessed, even if it has been erased,
by pressing the READ button to display stored
messages. G017726

01 Safety
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)01
}}
17
General information
Warning symbols in the instrument panel
As an enhancement to the three-point seat
belts, your Volvo is equipped with a Supple-
mental Restraint System (SRS). Volvo\fs SRS
consists of seat belt pretensioners, front air-
bags, side impact airbags, a front passenger
occupant weight sensor, and inflatable cur-
tains. All of these systems are monitored by the
SRS control module. An SRS warning light in
the instrument panel (see the illustration) illu-
minates when the ignition is in modes
I, II, or
III, and will normally go out after approximately
6 seconds if no faults are detected in the sys-
tem.
Where applicable, a text message will also be
displayed when the SRS warning light illumi-
nates. If this warning symbol is not functioning properly, the general warning symbol illumi-
nates and a text message will be displayed.
See page 74 for more information about indi-
cator and warning symbols.
WARNING
\b
If the SRS warning light stays on after
the engine has started or if it illuminates
while you are driving, have the vehicle
inspected by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician as soon as
possible.
\b Never try to repair any component or
part of the SRS yourself. Any interfer-
ence in the system could cause mal-
function and serious injury. All work on
these systems should be performed by
a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician.
WARNING If your vehicle has been subjected to flood
conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/standing
water on the floor of the vehicle) or if your
vehicle has become flood-damaged in any
way, do not attempt to start the vehicle or
insert the remote control into the ignition
slot before disconnecting the battery (see
below). This may cause airbag deployment
which could result in personal injury. Have
the vehicle towed to a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician for repairs.
Automatic transmission:
Before attempting to tow the vehicle, use
the following procedure to override the
shiftlock system to move the gear selector
to the neutral position:
1. Switch off the ignition for at least
10 minutes and disconnect the battery
2. Wait at least one minute.
3. Insert the remote key into the ignition slot and press the Start button (without
depressing brake pedal) to go to ignition
mode II. See page 79 for more infor-
mation.
4. Press firmly on the brake pedal.
5. Move the gear selector from Park ( P) to
the Neutral (N) position. See page 110
for information on manually overriding
the shiftlock system. G022831

01 SafetyOccupant Weight Sensor 01
22 General information
Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) indicator light
Disabling the passenger\fs side front
airbag
Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults
and children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches
(140 cm) be seated in the back seat of any
vehicle with a front passenger side airbag, and
be properly restrained for their size and weight.
For child safety recommendations, see
page 34.
The Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) is
designed to meet the regulatory requirements
of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(FMVSS) 208 and is designed to disable (will
not inflate) the passenger\fs side front airbag
under certain conditions. The OWS works with sensors that are part of
the front passenger\fs seat and seat belt. The
sensors are designed to detect the presence of
a properly seated occupant and determine if
the passenger\fs side front airbag should be
enabled (may inflate) or disabled (will not
inflate).
The OWS will disable (will not inflate) the pas-
senger\fs side front airbag when:
\b
the front passenger\fs seat is unoccupied,
or has small/medium objects in the front
seat,
\b the system determines that an infant is
present in a rear-facing infant seat that is
installed according to the manufacturer\fs
instructions,
\b the system determines that a small child is
present in a forward-facing child restraint
that is installed according to the manufac-
turer\fs instructions,
\b the system determines that a small child is
present in a booster seat,
\b a front passenger takes his/her weight off
of the seat for a period of time,
\b a child or a small person occupies the front
passenger\fs seat.
The OWS uses a PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF
indicator lamp which will illuminate and stay on
to remind you that the passenger\fs side front airbag is disabled. The PASSENGER AIRBAG
OFF indicator lamp is located in the overhead
console, near the base of the rearview mirror.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched on, the OWS
indicator light will go on for up to 10 seconds
while the system performs a self-diagnostic
test.
However, if a fault is detected in the system:
\b
The OWS indicator light will stay on
\b The SRS warning light (see page 17) will
come on and stay on
\b The message
PASS. AIRBAG OFF
SERVICE URGENT will be displayed in
the information display.
WARNING If a fault in the system is detected and indi-
cated as described, be aware that the pas-
senger\fs side front airbag will not deploy in
the event of a collision. In this case, the SRS
system and Occupant Weight Sensor
should be inspected by a trained and quali-
fied Volvo service technician as soon as
possible. 2

WARNING\b
Never try to open, remove, or repair any
components in the OWS system. This
could result in system malfunction.
Maintenance or repairs should only be
carried out by an a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician.
\b The front passenger\fs seat should not
be modified in any way. This could
reduce pressure on the seat cushion,
which might interfere with the OWS sys-
tem\fs function. Passeng-

A
Volvo recommends that children always be properly
restrained in appropriate child restraints in the rear seats. Do
not assume that the passenger\fs side front airbag is disabled
unless the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is lit.
Make sure the child restraint is properly installed. If there is
any doubt as to the status of the passenger\fs side front air-
bag, move the child restraint to the rear seat.
The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate)
the passenger\fs side front airbag anytime the
system senses that a person of adult size is
sitting properly in the front passenger\fs seat. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp
will be off and remain off.
If a person of adult size is sitting in the front
passenger\fs seat, but the PASSENGER AIR-
BAG OFF indicator lamp is on, it is possible that
the person isn\ft sitting properly in the seat. If
this happens:
\b
Turn the vehicle off and ask the person to
place the seatback in an upright position.
\b Have the person sit upright in the seat,
centered on the seat cushion, with the per-
son\fs legs comfortably extended.
\b Restart the vehicle and have the person
remain in this position for about two
minutes. This will allow the system to
detect that person and enable the pas-
senger\fs frontal airbag.
\b If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator
lamp remains on even after this, the person
should be advised to ride in the rear seat.
This condition reflects limitations of the OWS
classification capability. It does not indicate
OWS malfunction.
ModificationsIf you are considering modifying your vehicle in
any way to accommodate a disability, for
example by altering or adapting the driver\fs or
front passenger\fs seat(s) and/or airbag sys-
tems, please contact Volvo at:

01 Safety
Whiplash Protection System – WHIPS01
}}
29
General information
Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) –
front seats only
The WHIPS system consists of specially
designed hinges and brackets on the front seat
backrests designed to help absorb some of the
energy generated in a collision from the rear
(when the vehicle is rear-ended).
In the event of a collision of this type, the hinges
and brackets of the front seat backrests are
designed to change position slightly to allow
the backrest/head restraint to help support the
occupant\fs head before moving slightly rear-
ward. This movement helps absorb some of
the forces that could result in whiplash.
WARNING
\b
The WHIPS system is designed to sup-
plement the other safety systems in
your vehicle. For this system to function
properly, the three-point seat belt must
be worn. Please be aware that no sys-
tem can prevent all possible injuries that
may occur in an accident.
\b The WHIPS system is designed to func-
tion in certain collisions from the rear,
depending on the crash severity, angle
and speed.
WARNING \b
Occupants in the front seats must never
sit out of position. The occupant\fs back
must be as upright as comfort allows
and be against the seat back with the
seat belt properly fastened.
\b If your vehicle has been involved in a
rear-end collision, the front seat backr-
ests must be inspected by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician, even
if the seats appear to be undamaged.
Certain components in the WHIPS sys-
tem may need to be replaced.
\b Do not attempt to service any compo-
nent in the WHIPS system yourself. G02101
