01 Safety
Seat belts 01
20
•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.
•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 Unbelted in rear seat will
appear in the information display if one of
the rear doors has been opened.
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.
Seat belt use during pregnancy
G020998
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 largea distance as possible between their belly and
the steering wheel.
Child seatsPlease refer to page 39 for information on
securing child seats with the seat belts.

01 Safety
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) 01
22
Front airbags
G018665
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' 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's side front airbag is folded and
located in the steering wheel hub.The passenger's side front airbag is folded
behind a panel located above the glove com-
partment.
WARNING
•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.
•Never drive with your hands on the
steering wheel pad/airbag housing.
•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.
•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.

01 Safety
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)01
25
WARNING
•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 22).
•There should be no loose articles, such
as coffee cups on the floor, seat, or
dashboard area.
•Never try to open the airbag cover on
the steering wheel or the passenger's
side dashboard. This should only be
done by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician.
•Failure to follow these instructions can
result in injury to the vehicle occupants.

01 Safety
Rollover Protection System (ROPS)01
35
Volvo’s Rollover Protection System utilizes the
Roll Stability Control (RSC) function, which is
designed to help minimize the risk of a rollover
in emergency maneuvers or if a skid should
occur.
RSC uses a gyroscopic sensor that registers
the amount of change in the lateral angle at
which the vehicle is leaning. Using this infor-
mation, RSC calculates the likelihood of a roll-
over. If there is an imminent risk of a rollover,
the Dynamic Stability and Traction Control sys-
tem (DSTC) is activated, power to the engine is
cut and the brakes are applied to one or more
of the wheels until the vehicle regains stability.
For additional information on DSTC, see
page 144.
WARNING
The vehicle’s stability systems, including
ROPS and RSC, do not replace the driver’s
responsibility for operating the vehicle in a
safe manner. Speed and driving style
should always be adapted to the current
road, traffic and weather conditions. Posted
speed limits should always be respected.
