helps maintain a set distance to a vehicle ahead,Park Assist Pilot *, which assists in parking the
vehicle, Cross Traffic Alert *, Blind Spot

Accident preventionSystems such as City Safety are designed to automatically apply the brakes in situations inwhich the driver does not have time to react. Lane Keeping Aid * alerts the driver if the vehicle
inadvertently crosses a lane's/road's side marker line.
ProtectionThe vehicle is equipped with e.g., seat belt pre-tensioners that pull the seat belts taut in criticalsituations when there is a collision risk andnumerous airbags designed to help provide cush-ioning if certain types of collisions should occur.

However, NHTSA cannotbecome involved in individual problemsbetween you, your retailer, or Volvo CarUSA, LLC. To contact NHTSA, you mayeither call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236(TTY: 1-800-424-9153) or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transpor-tation, Washington D.C. 20590.

WARNING
•Never try to open, remove, or repair any components in the OWS system. Thiscould result in system malfunction. Main-tenance or repairs should only be carriedout by an a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician.
• The front passenger's seat should not bemodified in any way. This could reducepressure on the seat cushion, whichmight interfere with the OWS system'sfunction.

Volvo recommends that children always be properly restrained in appropriate child restraints in the rear seats. Do not assumethat the passenger's side front airbag is disabled unless thePASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is lit. Make sure thechild restraint is properly installed. If there is any doubt as to thestatus of the passenger's side front airbag, move the childrestraint to the rear seat.
The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate) the passenger's side front airbag in the event of acollision anytime the system senses that a per-son of adult size is sitting properly in the frontpassenger's seat. The PASSENGER AIRBAGOFF indicator lamp will be off and remain off. If a person of adult size is sitting in the front pas- senger's seat, but the PASSENGER AIRBAGOFF indicator lamp is on, it is possible that the person isn't sitting properly in the seat. If thishappens:
• Turn the vehicle off and ask the person toplace the seatback in an upright position.
• Have the person sit upright in the seat, cen-tered on the seat cushion, with the person'slegs comfortably extended.
• Restart the vehicle and have the personremain in this position for about two minutes.This will allow the system to detect that per-son and enable the passenger's frontal air-bag.
• If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicatorlamp remains on even after this, the personshould be advised to ride in the rear seat.
This condition reflects limitations of the OWSclassification capability. It does not indicate OWSmalfunction.
ModificationsIf you are considering modifying your vehicle inany way to accommodate a disability, for exampleby altering or adapting the driver's or front pas-senger's seat(s) and/or airbag systems, pleasecontact Volvo at: In the USA Volvo Car USA, LLC Customer Care Center1 Volvo Drive

Rearview mirror The interior rearview mirror has an auto-dim function that helps reduce glare from followingvehicle's headlights.
Auto-dim functionThe auto-dim function is controlled by two sen- sors: one pointing forward (located on the for-ward-facing side of the mirror, which monitors theamount of ambient light) and one pointing rear-ward (located on the side of the mirror facing thedriver at the upper edge, which senses thestrength of following vehicles' headlights), andwork together to help eliminate glare.
NOTE
Obstructing the forward sensor with e.g., parking stickers, transponders, etc., or the rearsensor by loading the cargo area or the rearseat in such a way that light is prevented fromreaching the sensor will reduce the auto-dimfunction in the interior rearview mirror andoptional auto-dim function in the door mirrors.
The auto-dim function is always active while the vehicle is being driven except when the reversegear has been selected. The level of sensitivityfor this function can be set to three levels, whichaffect the rearview mirror and door mirrors.
