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 SafetySeat belts 01
16 Seat belt use during pregnancy
The seat belt should always be worn during
pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in the
correct way. The diagonal section should wrap
over the shoulder then be routed between the
breasts and to the side of the belly. The lap
section should lay flat over the thighs and as
low as possible under the belly. It must never
be allowed to ride upward. Remove all slack
from the belt and ensure that it fits close to the
body without any twists.
As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers
should adjust their seats and steering wheel
such that they can easily maintain control of the
vehicle as they drive (which means they must
be able to easily operate the foot pedals and
steering wheel). Within this context, they
should strive to position the seat with as large a distance as possible between their belly and
the steering wheel.
Child seatsPlease refer to page 35 for information on
securing child seats with the seat belts. G020998

01 SafetySupplemental Restraint System (SRS) 01
18 Front airbags
The front airbag systemThe front airbags supplement the three-point
seat belts. For these airbags to provide the
protection intended, seat belts must be worn
at all times.
The front airbag system includes gas genera-
tors surrounded by the airbags, and decelera-
tion sensors that activate the gas generators,
causing the airbags to be inflated with nitrogen
gas.
Location of the passenger's side front airbag
As the movement of the seats\f occupants com-
presses the airbags, some of the gas is expel-
led at a controlled rate to provide better cush-
ioning. Both seat belt pretensioners also
deploy, minimizing seat belt slack. The entire
process, including inflation and deflation of the
airbags, takes approximately one fifth of a sec-
ond.
The location of the front airbags is indicated by
SRS AIRBAG embossed on the steering wheel
pad and above the glove compartment, and by
decals on both sun visors and on the front and
far right side of the dash.
The driver\fs side front airbag is folded and
located in the steering wheel hub.The passenger\fs side front airbag is folded
behind a panel located above the glove com-
partment.
WARNING \b
The airbags in the vehicle are designed
to be a SUPPLEMENT to–not a replace-
ment for–the three-point seat belts. For
maximum protection, wear seat belts at
all times. Be aware that no system can
prevent all possible injuries that may
occur in an accident.
\b Never drive a vehicle with a steering
wheel-mounted airbag with your hands
on the steering wheel pad/airbag hous-
ing.
\b The front airbags are designed to help
prevent serious injury. Deployment
occurs very quickly and with consider-
able force. During normal deployment
and depending on variables such as
seating position, one may experience
abrasions, bruises, swellings, or other
injuries as a result from deployment of
one or both of the airbags.
\b When installing any accessory equip-
ment, make sure that the front airbag
system is not damaged. Any interfer-
ence in the system could cause mal-
function. G018665 G021013

Front airbag deployment
\b
The front airbags are designed to deploy
during certain frontal or front-angular col-
lisions, impacts, or decelerations, depend-
ing on the crash severity, angle, speed and
object impacted. The airbags may also
deploy in certain non-frontal collisions
where rapid deceleration occurs.
\b The SRS sensors, which trigger the front
airbags, are designed to react to both the
impact of the collision and the inertial
forces generated by it, and to determine if
the intensity of the collision is sufficient for
the seat belt pretensioners and/or airbags
to be deployed.
However, not all frontal collisions activate the
front airbags.
\b If the collision involves a nonrigid object
(e.g., a snow drift or bush), or a rigid, fixed
object at a low speed, the front airbags will
not necessarily deploy.
\b Front airbags do not normally deploy in a
side impact collision, in a collision from the
rear or in a rollover situation.
\b The amount of damage to the bodywork
does not reliably indicate if the airbags
should have deployed or not.WARNING \b
Do not use child safety seats or child
booster cushions/backrests in the front
passenger\fs seat. We also recommend
that occupants under 4 feet 7 inches
(140 cm) in height who have outgrown
these devices sit in the rear seat with the
seat belt fastened 1
.
\b Never drive with the airbags deployed.
The fact that they hang out can impair
the steering of your vehicle. Other
safety systems can also be damaged.
\b The smoke and dust formed when the
airbags are deployed can cause skin
and eye irritation in the event of pro-
longed exposure. Should you have questions about any compo-
nent in the SRS system, please contact a
trained and qualified Volvo service technician

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-

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 SafetySide impact protection (SIPS) airbags 01
26 General information
Location of the side impact (SIPS) airbags (front
seats only)
As an enhancement to the structural side
impact protection built into your vehicle, it is
also equipped with Side Impact Protection
System (SIPS) airbags.
The SIPS airbag system is designed to help
increase occupant protection in the event of
certain side impact collisions. The SIPS air-
bags are designed to deploy only during cer-
tain side-impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and point of
impact. SIPS airbag deployment
SIPS airbag deployment (one airbag) occurs
only on the side of the vehicle affected by the
impact. The airbags are not designed to deploy
in all side impact situations. SIPS decal on the front of the driver's door open-
ing
NOTE
SIPS airbag deployment (one airbag) occurs
only on the side of the vehicle affected by
the impact. The airbags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact situations.
Components in the SIPS airbag systemThis SIPS airbag system consists of a gas gen-
erator, the side airbag modules built into the
outboard sides of both front seat backrests,
and electronic sensors/wiring. G032949 G024377 G032254

WARNING\b
The SIPS airbag system is a supple-
ment to the structural Side Impact Pro-
tection System and the three-point seat
belt system. It is not designed to deploy
during collisions from the front or rear of
the vehicle or in rollover situations.
\b The use of seat covers on the front seats
may impede SIPS airbag deployment.
\b No objects, accessory equipment or
stickers may be placed on, attached to
or installed near the SIPS airbag system
or in the area affected by SIPS airbag
deployment.
\b Never try to open or repair any compo-
nents of the SIPS airbag system. This
should be done only by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.
\b In order for the SIPS airbag to provide
its best protection, both front seat
occupants should sit in an upright posi-
tion with the seat belt properly fastened.
\b Failure to follow these instructions can
result in injury to the occupants of the
vehicle in the event of an accident.
