Occupant safety
How safely you drive doesn't depend on how old you are, but rather on:
l How well you see.
l Your ability to concentrate.
l How quickly you make decisions under stress to avoid an accident.
The tips listed below are suggestions to help you cope with the ever cha\
nging traffic environment.
l Never drink and drive.
l If you are taking any medication, consult your physician about its poten\
tial effects on your driving
abilities.
l Take a driver-retraining course.
l Have your eyes checked regularly.
l Keep your windshield and headlights clean.
l Replace wiper blades when they start to leave streaks.
l Take into account the traffic, road, and weather conditions, particularl\
y with regard to stopping
distance.
Reporting Safety Defects in the U.S.
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash \
or could cause injury or death,
you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Admini\
stration (NHTSA) in
addition to notifying Volvo Cars of North America. If NHTSA receives sim\
ilar complaints, it may open
an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group\
of vehicles, it may order a recall and
remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual pro\
blems between you,
your retailer, or Volvo Cars of North America. To contact NHTSA, you may\
either call the Auto Safety
Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 202-366-0123 in Washington, D.C\
. area) or write to: NHTSA, U.
S. Department of Transportation, Washington D.C. 20590. You can also obt\
ain other information about
motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.
Volvo strongly recommends that if your vehicle is covered under a servic\
e campaign, safety or emission
recall or similar action, it should be completed as soon as possible. Pl\
ease check with your local retailer
or Volvo Cars of North America, LLC if your vehicle is covered under the\
se conditions.
