Seat belts – pregnancy
The seat belt should always be worn during pregnancy. However, it is crucial that it beworn correctly.

The diagonal section should wrap over the shoulder then be routed between the breastsand to the side of the belly. The lap sectionshould lay flat over the thighs and as low aspossible under the belly. It must never beallowed to ride upward. Remove all slackfrom the belt and ensure that it fits close tothe body without any twists. As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers should adjust their seats and steering wheelsuch that they can easily maintain control ofthe vehicle as they drive (which means theymust be able to easily operate the foot pedalsand steering wheel). Within this context, theyshould strive to position the seat with as large

Location of the passenger's side front airbagAs the movement of the seats' occupants compresses the airbags, some of the gas isexpelled at a controlled rate to provide bettercushioning. Both seat belt pretensioners alsodeploy, minimizing seat belt slack. The entireprocess, including inflation and deflation ofthe airbags, takes approximately one fifth of asecond. 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 thefront 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 areplacement for–the three-point seatbelts. For maximum protection, wearseat belts at all times. Be aware thatno system can prevent all possibleinjuries that may occur in an accident.
• Never drive with your hands on thesteering wheel pad/airbag housing.
• The front airbags are designed to helpprevent serious injury. Deploymentoccurs very quickly and with consider-able force. During normal deploymentand depending on variables such asseating position, one may experienceabrasions, bruises, swellings, or otherinjuries as a result from deployment ofone or both of the airbags.
• When installing any accessory equip-ment, make sure that the front airbagsystem is not damaged. Any interfer-ence in the system could cause mal-function.
Front airbag deployment
•
The front airbags are designed to deploy during certain frontal or front-angular col-lisions, impacts, or decelerations,depending on the crash severity, angle,speed and object impacted. The airbagsmay also deploy in certain non-frontal collisions where rapid decelerationoccurs.
• The SRS (p. 31) sensors, which triggerthe front airbags, are designed to react toboth the impact of the collision and theinertial forces generated by it, and todetermine if the intensity of the collision issufficient for the seat belt pretensionersand/or airbags to be deployed.
However, not all frontal collisions activate the front airbags.
• 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 air-bags will not necessarily deploy.
• Front airbags do not normally deploy in aside impact collision, in a collision fromthe rear or in a rollover situation.
• The amount of damage to the bodyworkdoes not reliably indicate if the airbagsshould have deployed or not.
WARNING
If any of the airbags have deployed:
• Do not attempt to drive the vehicle. Have it towed to a qualified repairfacility.
• If necessary seek medical attentIon.

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 PASSENGERAIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will be off andremain off. If a person of adult size is sitting in the frontpassenger'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.
ModificationsIf you are considering modifying your vehiclein any way to accommodate a disability, forexample by altering or adapting the driver'sor front passenger's seat(s) and/or airbagsystems, please contact Volvo at: In the USA Volvo Cars of North America, LLC Customer Care Center

WARNING
•Do not place any type of object on the front passenger's seat in such a waythat jamming, pressing, or squeezingoccurs between the object and thefront seat, other than as a direct resultof the correct use of the AutomaticLocking Retractor/Emergency LockingRetractor (ALR/ELR) seat belt (Childrestraints (p. 47)).
• No objects should be placed under thefront passenger's seat. This couldinterfere with the OWS system's func-tion.

Location of the side impact (SIPS) airbags (front seats only) The SIPS airbag system is designed to help increase occupant protection in the event ofcertain side impact collisions. The SIPS air-bags are designed to deploy only during cer-tain side-impact collisions, depending on thecrash severity, angle, speed and point ofimpact.
Driver's side SIPS airbag
Passenger's side SIPS airbag

Rollover Protection System (ROPS)
Volvo's Roll-Over Protection System (ROPS) utilizes the Roll Stability Control (RSC) func-tion and has been designed to help minimizethe risk of a rollover in emergency maneuversor if a skid should occur. RSC uses a gyroscopic sensor that registers the amount of change in the lateral angle atwhich the vehicle is leaning. Using this infor-mation, RSC calculates the likelihood of arollover. If there is an imminent risk of a roll-over, the stability system is activated, powerto the engine is cut and the brakes areapplied to one or more of the wheels until thevehicle regains stability.
WARNING
The vehicle’s stability systems, including ROPS and RSC, do not replace thedriver’s responsibility for operating thevehicle in a safe manner. Speed and driv-ing style should always be adapted to thecurrent road, traffic and weather condi-tions. Posted speed limits should alwaysbe respected.
Crash mode – general information
After a collision, the functionality of some of the vehicle's systems may be reduced as asafety precaution.
Warning symbol: analog instrument panel
Warning symbol: digital instrument panel* If the vehicle has been involved in a collision, the text
Safety mode See manual may
appear in the information display.
NOTE
This text can only be shown if the display is undamaged and the vehicle's electricalsystem is intact.
Crash mode is a feature that is triggered if one or more of the safety systems (e.g.front (p. 32) or side airbags (p. 39), an inflat-able curtain (p. 41), or one or more of the seatbelt pretensioners) has deployed. The colli-sion may have damaged an important func-tion in the vehicle, such as the fuel lines, sen-sors for one of the safety systems, the brakesystem, etc.
