ShiftlockWhen your vehicle is parked, the gear selec- tor is locked in the P (Park) position. To
release the selector from this position, theignition must be in mode II (see page 88) orthe engine must be running. Depress thebrake pedal, press the button on the frontside of the gear selector and move the selec-tor from P (Park).
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)The ABS system performs a brief self-diag-nostic test when the engine has been startedand driver releases the brake pedal. Anotherautomatic test may be performed when thevehicle first reaches a speed of approximately6 mph (10 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsateseveral times and a sound may be audiblefrom the ABS control module. This is normal.
Fuel filler doorPress the button on the light switch panel(see the illustration on page 288) when thevehicle is at a standstill to unlock the fuel fillerdoor. It will relock when closed and there willbe an audible click.
Points to keep in mind
• Do not export your Volvo to another country before investigating that coun-try's applicable safety and exhaust emis-sion requirements. In some cases it maybe difficult or impossible to comply with these requirements. Modifications to theemission control system(s) may renderyour Volvo not certifiable for legal opera-tion in the U.S., Canada and other coun-tries.
• All information, illustrations and specifica-tions contained in this manual are basedon the latest product information availa-ble at the time of publication. Please notethat some vehicles may be equipped dif-ferently, depending on special legalrequirements. Optional equipment descri-bed in this manual may not be available inall markets.
• Some of the illustrations shown aregeneric and may not depict the exactmodel for which this manual is intended.
• Volvo reserves the right to make modelchanges at any time, or to change speci-fications or design without notice andwithout incurring obligation.
Crash event data
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDRis to record, in certain crash or near crash-likesituations, such as an air bag deployment orhitting a road obstacle, data that will assist inunderstanding how a vehicle's systems per-formed. The EDR is designed to record datarelated to vehicle dynamics and safety sys- tems for a short period of time, typically 30seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle isdesigned to record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passengersafety belts were buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depress-ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal;and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under- standing of the circumstances in whichcrashes and injuries occur.
NOTE
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;no data are recorded by the EDR undernormal driving conditions and no personaldata (e.g., name, gender, age, and crashlocation) are recorded. However, otherparties, such as law enforcement, couldcombine the EDR data with the type ofpersonally identifying data routinelyacquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to thevehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to

Volvo and the environment
Volvo is committed to the well being of its customers. As a natural part of this commit-ment, we care about the environment inwhich we all live. Caring for the environmentmeans an everyday involvement in reducingour environmental impact. Volvo's environ-mental activities are based on a holistic view,which means we consider the overall environ-mental impact of a product throughout itscomplete life cycle. In this context, design,production, product use, and recycling are allimportant considerations. In production,Volvo has partly or completely phased outseveral chemicals including CFCs, lead chro-mates, asbestos, and cadmium; and reducedthe number of chemicals used in ourplants 50% since 1991. Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic con-verter with a Lambda sond, now called theheated oxygen sensor, in 1976. The currentversion of this highly efficient system reducesemissions of harmful substances (CO, HC,NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately95 – 99% and the search to eliminate theremaining emissions continues. Volvo is theonly automobile manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning systemof all models as far back as the 1975model 240. Advanced electronic engine con-trols and cleaner fuels are bringing us closerto our goal. In addition to continuous environ-mental refinement of conventional gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, Volvois actively looking at advanced technologyalternative-fuel vehicles. When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner in the work to lessen the car's impacton the environment. To reduce your vehicle'senvironmental impact, you can: •
Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased fuel econ-omy with improperly inflated tires.
• Follow the recommended maintenanceschedule in your Warranty and ServiceRecords Information booklet.
• Drive at a constant speed whenever pos-sible.
• See a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician as soon as possible forinspection if the check engine (malfunc-tion indicator) light illuminates, or stayson after the vehicle has started.
• Properly dispose of any vehicle-relatedwaste such as used motor oil, used bat-teries, brake pads, etc.
• When cleaning your vehicle, please usegenuine Volvo car care products. AllVolvo car care products are formulated tobe environmentally friendly.

Volvo's concern for safety
Safety is Volvo's cornerstone. Our concern dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolledoff the production line. Three-point seat belts(a Volvo invention), safety cages, and energy-absorbing impact zones were designed intoVolvo vehicles long before it was fashionableor required by government regulation. We will not compromise our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safetyfeatures and to refine those already in ourvehicles. You can help. We would appreciatehearing your suggestions about improvingautomobile safety. We also want to know ifyou ever have a safety concern with yourvehicle. 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't depend on howold you are but rather on:• How well you see.
• Your ability to concentrate.
• How quickly you make decisions under stress to avoid an accident.

Seat belt maintenanceCheck periodically that the seat belts are in good condition. Use water and a mild deter-gent for cleaning. Check seat belt mechanismfunction as follows: attach the seat belt andpull rapidly on the strap.
WARNING
Never use a seat belt for more than one occupant. Never wear the shoulder portionof the belt under the arm, behind the backor otherwise out of position. Such usecould cause injury in the event of an acci-dent. As seat belts lose much of theirstrength when exposed to violent stretch-ing, they should be replaced after any col-lision, even if they appear to be undam-aged.
WARNING
•Never repair the belt yourself; have this work done by a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician only.
• Any device used to induce slack intothe shoulder belt portion of the three-point belt system will have a detrimen-tal effect on the amount of protectionavailable to you in the event of a colli-sion.
• The seat back should not be tilted toofar back. The shoulder belt must betaut in order to function properly.
• Do not use child safety seats or childbooster cushions/backrests in thefront passenger's seat. We also rec-ommend that children who have out-grown these devices sit in the rearseat with the seat belt properly fas-tened.

General information
Models with an analog instrument panel
Models with an digital instrument panel*
As an enhancement to the three-point seat belts, your Volvo is equipped with a Supple-mental Restraint System (SRS). Volvo's SRS consists of seat belt pretensioners, front air-bags, side impact airbags, a front passengeroccupant weight sensor, and inflatable cur-tains. All of these systems are monitored bythe SRS control module. An SRS warninglight in the instrument panel (see the illustra-tion) illuminates when the ignition is in modes I
or II, and will normally go out after approxi-
mately 6 seconds if no faults are detected in the system. Where applicable, a text message will also be displayed when the SRS warning light illumi-nates. If this warning symbol is not function-ing properly, the general warning symbol illu-minates and a text message will be displayed.See also page 81 for more informationabout indicator and warning lights.
WARNING
• If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it illumi-nates while you are driving, have thevehicle inspected by a trained andqualified Volvo service technician assoon as possible.
• Never try to repair any component orpart of the SRS yourself. Any interfer-ence in the system could cause mal-function and serious injury. All work onthese systems should be performed bya trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician.

Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) indicator light
Disabling the passenger's side frontairbag
Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 4 feet7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seatof any vehicle with a front passenger side air-bag, and be properly restrained for their sizeand weight. For child safety recommenda-tions,see page 39. The Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) is designed to meet the regulatory requirementsof Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard(FMVSS) 208 and is designed to disable (willnot inflate) the passenger's side front airbagunder certain conditions. The OWS works with sensors that are part ofthe front passenger's seat and seat belt. Thesensors are designed to detect the presenceof a properly seated occupant and determineif the passenger's side front airbag should beenabled (may inflate) or disabled (will notinflate). The OWS will disable (will not inflate) the pas- senger's side front airbag when:
• the front passenger's seat is unoccupied, or has small/medium objects in the frontseat,
• the system determines that an infant ispresent in a rear-facing infant seat that isinstalled according to the manufacturer'sinstructions,
• the system determines that a small childis present in a forward-facing childrestraint that is installed according to themanufacturer's instructions,
• the system determines that a small childis present in a booster seat,
• a front passenger takes his/her weight offof the seat for a period of time,
• a child or a small person occupies thefront passenger's seat.
The OWS uses a PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp which will illuminate and stayon to remind you that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled. The PASSENGERAIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is located in theoverhead console, near the base of the rear-view mirror.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched on, the OWS indicator light will go on for up to 10 sec-onds while the system performs a self-diagnostic test.
However, if a fault is detected in the system:
• The OWS indicator light will stay on
• The SRS warning light (see page 21) will come on and stay on
• The message
Pass. Airbag OFF Service
urgent will be displayed in the informa-
tion display.
WARNING
If a fault in the system is detected and indicated as described, be aware that thepassenger's side front airbag will notdeploy in the event of a collision. In thiscase, the SRS system and OccupantWeight Sensor should be inspected by atrained and qualified Volvo service techni-cian as soon as possible.

WARNING
•Never try to open, remove, or repair any components in the OWS system.This could result in system malfunc-tion. Maintenance or repairs shouldonly be carried out by an a trained andqualified Volvo service technician.
• The front passenger's seat should notbe modified in any way. This couldreduce pressure on the seat cushion,which might interfere with the OWSsystem's function.

Volvo recommends that children always be properly restrained in appropriate child restraints in the rear seats.Do not assume that the passenger's side front airbag isdisabled unless the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicatorlamp is lit. Make sure the child restraint is properly instal-led. If there is any doubt as to the status of the passeng-er's side front airbag, move the child restraint to the rearseat.
The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate) the passenger's side front airbag in the eventof a collision anytime the system senses thata person of adult size is sitting properly in thefront passenger's seat. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will be off andremain off. If a person of adult size is sitting in the front passenger's seat, but the PASSENGER AIR-BAG OFF indicator lamp is on, it is possiblethat the person isn't sitting properly in theseat. If this happens:
• Turn the vehicle off and ask the person to place the seatback in an upright position.
• Have the person sit upright in the seat,centered on the seat cushion, with theperson's legs comfortably extended.
• Restart the vehicle and have the personremain in this position for about twominutes. This will allow the system todetect that person and enable the pas-senger's frontal airbag.
• If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indica-tor lamp remains on even after this, theperson should be advised to ride in therear seat.
This condition reflects limitations of the OWS classification capability. It does not indicateOWS malfunction.

General informationWhiplash Protection System (WHIPS) – front seats only
The WHIPS system consists of specially designed hinges and brackets on the frontseat backrests designed to help absorb someof the energy generated in a collision from therear (when the vehicle is rear-ended). In the event of a collision of this type, the hinges and brackets of the front seat back-rests are designed to change position slightlyto allow the backrest/head restraint to helpsupport the occupant's head before movingslightly rearward. This movement helpsabsorb some of the forces that could result inwhiplash.
WARNING
•The WHIPS system is designed to supplement the other safety systemsin your vehicle. For this system tofunction properly, the three-point seatbelt must be worn. Please be awarethat no system can prevent all possibleinjuries that may occur in an accident.
• The WHIPS system is designed tofunction in certain collisions from therear, depending on the crash severity,angle and speed.
WARNING
•Occupants in the front seats must never sit out of position. The occu-pant's back must be as upright ascomfort allows and be against the seatback with the seat belt properly fas-tened.
• If your vehicle has been involved in arear-end collision, the front seat back-rests must be inspected by a trainedand qualified Volvo service technician,even if the seats appear to be undam-aged. Certain components in theWHIPS system may need to bereplaced.
• Do not attempt to service any compo-nent in the WHIPS system yourself.
