WARNING\b
Children must never be allowed in the
front passenger\fs seat. Volvo recom-
mends 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 passenger-side front
airbag.
\b Occupants in the front passenger\fs seat
must never sit on the edge of the seat,
sit leaning toward the instrument panel
or otherwise sit out of position.
\b The occupant\fs back must be as upright
as comfort allows and be against the
seat back with the seat belt properly
fastened.
\b Feet must be on the floor, e.g., not on
the dash, seat or out of the window.WARNING \b
No objects or accessory equipment,
e.g. dashboard covers, may be placed
on, attached to, or installed near the air
bag hatch (the area above the glove
compartment) or the area affected by
airbag deployment (see the illustration
on page 18).
\b There should be no loose articles, such
as coffee cups on the floor, seat, or
dashboard area.
\b Never try to open the airbag cover on
the steering wheel or the passenger\fs
side dashboard. This should only be
done by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician.
\b Failure to follow these instructions can
result in injury to the vehicle occupants.

01 SafetyVolvo Inflatable Curtain (VIC) 01
28 General information
This system consists of inflatable curtains
located along the sides of the roof liners,
stretching from the center of both front side
windows to the rear edge of the rear side door
windows. It is designed to help protect the
heads of the occupants of the front seats and
the occupant of the outboard rear seating posi-
tions in certain side impact collisions.
In certain side impacts, both the Inflatable Cur-
tain (VIC) and the Side Impact Airbag System
(SIPS airbag) will deploy. The VIC and the SIPS
airbag deploy simultaneously.
NOTE
If the inflatable curtain deploys, it remains
inflated for approximately 3 seconds.
WARNING \b
The VIC system is a supplement to the
Side Impact Protection System. It is not
designed to deploy during collisions
from the front or rear of the vehicle or in
rollover situations.
\b Never try to open or repair any compo-
nents of the VIC system. This should be
done only by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician.
\b Never hang heavy items from the ceiling
handles. This could impede deployment
of the Inflatable Curtain.
\b The cargo area and rear seat should not
be loaded to a level higher than 2 in.
(5 cm) below the upper edge of the rear
side windows. Objects placed higher
than this level could impede the func-
tion of the Volvo Inflatable Curtain.WARNING In order for the VIC to provide its best pro-
tection, both front seat occupants and both
outboard rear seat occupants should sit in
an upright position with the seat belt prop-
erly fastened; adults using the seat belt and
children using the proper child restraint sys-
tem. Only adults should sit in the front seats.
Children must never be allowed in the front
passenger seat, see page 34 for guide-
lines. Failure to follow these instructions can
result in injury to the vehicle occupants in an
accident. G032025

Generator not charging
This symbol comes on during driving if a fault
has occurred in the electrical system. Contact
an authorized Volvo workshop.
Engine temperatureEngine overheating can result from low oil or
coolant levels, towing or hard driving at high
heat and altitude, or mechanical malfunction.
Engine overheating will be signaled with text
and a red warning triangle in the middle of the
instrument display. The exact text will depend
on the degree of overheating. It may range
from "HIGH ENGINE TEMP – SLOW
DOWN" to "
HIGH ENGINE TEMP – STOP
ENGINE." If appropriate, other messages,
such as "COOLANT LEVEL LOW" will also be
displayed. If your engine does overheat so that
you must stop the engine, always allow the
engine to cool before attempting to check oil
and coolant levels.
Fault in brake system
If this symbol lights, the brake fluid level may
be too low. Stop the vehicle in a safe place and
check the level in the brake fluid reservoir, see
page 112. If the level in the reservoir is below
MIN, the vehicle should be transported to an
authorized Volvo workshop to have the brake
system checked. Canadian models are equipped with this sym-
bol: If the and symbols come on
at the same time, there may be a fault in the
brake force distribution system.
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off
the engine.
2. Restart the engine.
\b If both symbols extinguish, continue driv-
ing.
\b If the symbols remain on, check the level in
the brake fluid reservoir, see page 227. If
the brake fluid level is normal but the sym-
bols are still lit, the vehicle can be driven,
with great care, to an authorized Volvo
workshop to have the brake system
checked.
\b If the level in the reservoir is below
MIN, the
vehicle should be transported to an author-
ized Volvo workshop to have the brake
system checked.
WARNING \b
If the fluid level is below the MIN mark
in the reservoir or if a warning message
is displayed in the text window:
DO
NOT DRIVE. Have the vehicle towed to
a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician and have the brake system
inspected.
\b If the ABS and Brake system lights are
on at the same time, there is a risk of
reduced vehicle stability.
Warning symbol
The red warning symbol comes on when a fault
has been indicated which could affect the
safety and/or drivability of the vehicle. An
explanatory text is shown on the information
display at the same time. The symbol remains
visible until the fault has been rectified but the
text message can be cleared with the READ
button, see page 123. The warning symbol can
also come on in conjunction with other sym-
bols.
Action:
1.
Stop in a safe place. Do not drive the vehi-
cle further.
2. Read the information on the information display. Implement the action in accord-
