Volvo Structural Parts Statement
Volvo has always been and continues to be a leader in automotive safety.
Volvo engineers and manufactures vehicles designed to help protect vehicle occupants in theevent of a collision. Volvos are designed to absorb the impact of a collision. This energy absorption system including,but not limited to, structural components such asbumper reinforcement bars, bumper energyabsorbers, frames, rails, fender aprons, A-pillars,B-pillars and body panels must work together tomaintain cabin integrity and protect the vehicleoccupants. The supplemental restraint system including but not limited to air bags, side curtain air bags, anddeployment sensors work together with theabove components to provide proper timing forair bag deployment. Due to the above, Volvo Cars of North America does not support the use of aftermarket, alterna-tive or anything other than original Volvo parts forcollision repair. In addition Volvo does not support the use or re- use of structural components from an existingvehicle that has been previously damaged.Although these parts may appear equivalent, it isdifficult to tell if the parts have been previouslyreplaced with non-OE parts or if the part hasbeen damaged as a result of a prior collision.

Certified technicians have demonstrated a high degree of competence in specific areas. Besidespassing exams, each technician must also haveworked in the field for two or more years before acertificate is issued. These professional techni-cians are best able to analyze vehicle problemsand perform the necessary maintenance proce-dures to keep your Volvo at peak operating con-dition.

General safety information The vehicle is equipped with a number of safety systems for the driver and passengers.
In the event of an accident, there are a number of sensors in the vehicle that react and triggersafety systems such as Roll Stability Control, air-bags, seat belt pretensioners, etc., depending onthe severity of the collision. There are alsomechanical systems such as the WhiplashProtection System.
Warning symbol in the instrument panelThe warning symbol in the instrumentpanel illuminates when the ignition is in mode II or higher. It will go out after
approx. 6 seconds if no faults are
detected in the airbag system.
WARNING
• If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it illuminateswhile you are driving, have the vehicleinspected by a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician as soon as possible.
• Never try to repair any component or partof the SRS yourself. Any interference inthe system could cause malfunction andserious injury.

Occupant safety Safety is Volvo's cornerstone.
Volvo's concern for safetyOur concern for safety dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the production line.Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safetycages, and energy-absorbing impact zones weredesigned into Volvo vehicles long before it wasfashionable or required by government regulation. We will not compromise our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safety fea-tures and to refine those already in our vehicles.You can help. We would appreciate hearing yoursuggestions about improving automobile safety.We also want to know if you ever have a safetyconcern with your vehicle.

Starting or moving a vehicle in safety mode
If
Safety mode has been set, it may be possible
to start and move the vehicle, for example, if it is blocking traffic.
Starting the vehicle in safety mode1. Check the vehicle for damage, particularly for fuel leakage or the smell of gasoline fumes. If the damage to the vehicle is minor and there is no fuel leakage/fumes, you mayattempt to start the engine and move thevehicle.
WARNING
If you smell gasoline fumes or detect fuel leakage while Safety mode See Owner's
manual is displayed in the instrument panel,
do not attempt to start the vehicle . Leave
the vehicle immediately.
2. Turn the start knob to STOP and release it.
3. Try to start the vehicle. >
Vehicle start System check, wait will
be displayed in the instrument panel while the vehicle's electrical system attempts toreset to normal mode. This may take up toa minute. 4.
When
Vehicle start System check, wait is
no longer displayed, try to start the vehicle again.
WARNING
If the message Safety mode See Owner's
manual is still displayed, the vehicle should
not be driven and must be towed (lifted onto a flatbed tow truck. The vehicle may never betowed with the wheels on the ground). Con-cealed faults may make the vehicle difficult tocontrol.
Moving the vehicle after safety mode has been set
If the message Normal mode The vehicle is
now in normal mode is displayed, the vehicle
may be moved carefully from its present position if, for example, it is blocking traffic. It should, however, not be moved farther than is absolutely necessary.
WARNING
After Safety mode has been set, the vehicle
should not be driven or towed (pulled on the ground by another vehicle). It must be trans-ported on a flatbed tow truck to a trained andqualified Volvo service technician for inspec-tion/repairs.

Airbag system As an enhancement to the three-point seat belts, your vehicle is equipped with an airbag system.
WARNING
•If the airbag warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it illuminateswhile you are driving, have the vehicleinspected by a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician as soon as possible.
• Never try to repair any component or partof the airbag systems yourself. Any inter-ference in the system could cause mal-function and serious injury. All work onthese systems should be performed by atrained and qualified Volvo service techni-cian.
WARNING
If your vehicle has become flood-damaged in any way (e.g., soaked carpeting/standingwater on the floor of the vehicle), do notattempt to start the vehicle. This may causeairbag deployment which could result in seri-ous injury. Have the vehicle towed to a trainedand qualified Volvo service technician forrepairs. Before attempting to tow the vehicle:
1. Switch off the ignition for at least
10 minutes and disconnect the battery.
2. Follow the instructions for manually over- riding the shiftlock system.
Deployed airbags
WARNING
If any of the airbags have deployed:
• Do not attempt to drive the vehicle. Have it towed to a qualified repair facility.
• If necessary seek medical attentIon.
Driver/passenger side airbags
The front airbags supplement the three-point seat belts. For these airbags to provide the pro-tection intended, seat belts must be worn at alltimes.
Driver's and passenger's side airbags
The front airbag systemThe front airbag system includes gas generators surrounded by the airbags, and deceleration sen-sors that activate the gas generators, causing theairbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas. As the movement of the seats' occupants com- presses the airbags, some of the gas is expelledat a controlled rate to provide better cushioning.Both seat belt pretensioners also deploy, mini-mizing seat belt slack. The entire process, includ-ing inflation and deflation of the airbags, takesapproximately one fifth of a second.
