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 Center1 Volvo DriveP.O.

WARNING
• No objects that add to the total weight on the seat should be placed on thefront passenger's seat. If a child isseated in the front passenger's seatwith any additional weight, this extraweight could cause the OWS systemto enable the airbag, which mightcause it to deploy in the event of a col-lision, thereby injuring the child.
• The seat belt should never be wrappedaround an object on the front pas-senger's seat. This could interfere withthe OWS system's function.
• The front passenger's seat belt shouldnever be used in a way that exertsmore pressure on the passenger thannormal. This could increase the pres-sure exerted on the weight sensor by achild, and could result in the airbagbeing enabled, which might cause it todeploy in the event of a collision,thereby injuring the child.
WARNING
Keep the following points in mind with respect to the OWS system. Failure to fol-low these instructions could adverselyaffect the system's function and result inserious injury to the occupant of the frontpassenger's seat:
• The full weight of the front seat pas- senger should always be on the seatcushion. The passenger should neverlift him/herself off the seat cushionusing the armrest in the door or thecenter console, by pressing the feet onthe floor, by sitting on the edge of theseat cushion, or by pressing againstthe backrest in a way that reducespressure on the seat cushion. Thiscould cause OWS to disable the frontpassenger's side airbag.
• Do not place any type of object on thefront 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 (seepage 39).
• No objects should be placed under thefront passenger's seat. This could

LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL)
To help conserve fuel by reducing the use of electrical current in the vehicle, DRL can beused in daylight conditions instead of the lowbeam headlights, which consume more elec-trical current. The daytime running lights aremounted in the front spoiler and use bright,electricity-saving LEDs (light emitting diodes).
Press button A to activate automatic DRL in day-
light driving conditions
With the headlight switch in the
posi-
tion as shown in the illustration, press the button with the A symbol to activate the auto-
matic LED daytime running lights in daylightdriving conditions (the indicator light in thebutton will illuminate). A light sensor thenmonitors the ambient lighting conditions andautomatically switches from LED DRL to thelow beam headlights in weaker ambient light(and will switch back to DRL when the ambi-ent light becomes brighter). Press the buttonagain (the indicator light in the switch will turnoff) to switch on the headlights. The LED DRLs will also switch off automati-cally (and the low beams will switch on) if:
• The rear fog light is switched on
• The windshield wipers are switched on for more than 10 seconds
If the LED DRL function was activated when the ignition was switched off, it will be activewhen the ignition is switched on again.
WARNING
• DRL is a driving aid designed to help conserve electrical current. This sys-tem cannot always determine if theambient lighting conditions are suffi-cient for switching from low beams toDRL (or vice versa). It is always thedriver's responsibility to visually deter-mine if the low beam headlights shouldbe used.
• As the driver, you have full responsibil-ity for operating the vehicle in a safemanner.
