NOTE
•Deployment of front airbags occurs only one time during an accident. In a collisionwhere deployment occurs, the airbagsand seat belt pretensioners activate.Some noise occurs and a small amountof powder is released. The release of thepowder may appear as smoke-like matter.This is a normal characteristic and doesnot indicate fire.
• Volvo's front airbags use special sensorsthat are integrated with the front seatbuckles. The point at which the airbagdeploys is determined by whether or notthe seat belt is being used, as well as theseverity of the collision.
• Collisions can occur where only one ofthe airbags deploys. If the impact is lesssevere, but severe enough to present aclear injury risk, the airbags are triggeredat partial capacity. If the impact is moresevere, the airbags are triggered at fullcapacity.
WARNING
• Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the frontpassenger's seat. We also recommendthat occupants under 4 feet 7 inches(140 cm) in height who have outgrownthese devices sit in the rear seat with theseat belt fastened. See also the Occu-pant Weight Sensor information,.
• Never drive with the airbags deployed.The fact that they hang out can impair thesteering of your vehicle. Other safety sys-tems can also be damaged.
• The smoke and dust formed when theairbags are deployed can cause skin andeye irritation in the event of prolongedexposure.

Inflatable curtains
The inflatable curtain is designed to help protect the heads of the occupants of the front seatsand the occupant of the outboard rear seatingpositions in certain side impact collisions.
This system consists of inflatable curtains located along the sides of the roof liners, stretching fromthe center of both front side windows to the rearedge of the rear side door windows. In certain side impacts, both the Inflatable Cur-
tain (IC) and the side Impact Airbag System (SIPS airbag) will deploy. The IC and the SIPSairbag deploy simultaneously.

WARNING
•Never try to open or repair any compo- nents of the IC system. This should bedone only by a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician.
• Never hang heavy items from the ceilinghandles. This could impede deploymentof the Inflatable Curtain.
• The cargo area and rear seat should notbe loaded to a level higher than 4 in.(10 cm) below the upper edge of the rearside windows. Objects placed higher thanthis level could impede the function ofthe Inflatable Curtain.
• In order for the IC to provide its best pro-tection, both front seat occupants andboth outboard rear seat occupants shouldsit in an upright position with the seat beltproperly fastened; adults using the seatbelt and children using the proper childrestraint system.

Side impact airbags
As an enhancement to the structural side impact protection built into your vehicle, it is also equip-ped with Side Impact Protection System (SIPS)airbags.
The SIPS airbag system is designed to help increase occupant protection in the event of cer-tain side impact collisions. The SIPS airbags aredesigned to deploy only during certain side-impact collisions, depending on the crashseverity, angle, speed and point of impact.
NOTE
SIPS airbag deployment (one airbag) occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by theimpact. The airbags are not designed todeploy in all side impact situations.
Components in the SIPS airbag systemThis SIPS airbag system consists of a gas gener- ator, the side airbag modules built into the out-board sides of both front seat backrests, andelectronic sensors/wiring.
WARNING
• The SIPS airbag system is a supplement to the structural Side Impact ProtectionSystem and the three-point seat belt sys-tem. It is not designed to deploy duringcollisions from the front or rear of thevehicle or in rollover situations.
• The use of seat covers on the front seatsmay impede SIPS airbag deployment.
• No objects, accessory equipment or stick-ers may be placed on, attached to orinstalled near the SIPS airbag system orin the area affected by SIPS airbagdeployment.
• Never try to open or repair any compo-nents of the SIPS airbag system. Thisshould be done only by a trained andqualified Volvo service technician.
• In order for the SIPS airbag to provide itsbest protection, both front seat occupantsshould sit in an upright position with theseat belt properly fastened.
• Failure to follow these instructions canresult in injury to the occupants of thevehicle in the event of an accident.

WARNING
•
If you use HomeLink ®
to open a garage
door or gate, be sure no one is near the gate or door while it is in motion.
• When programming a garage dooropener, it is advised to park outside of thegarage.
• Do not use HomeLink ®
with any garage
door opener that lacks safety stop andreverse features as required by U.S. fed-eral safety standards (this includes anygarage door opener model manufacturedbefore April 1, 1982). A garage door thatcannot detect an object - signaling thedoor to stop and reverse - does not meetcurrent U.S. federal safety standards. Formore information, contact HomeLink at:www.homelink.com.
Retain the original transmitter of the RF device you are programming for use in other vehicles aswell as for future HomeLink programming. It isalso suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle,the programmed HomeLink buttons be erasedfor security purposes. See the article "Program-ming HomeLink."

NOTE
Some vehicles may require the ignition to be switched on or be in the “accessories” posi-tion for programming and/or operation ofHomeLink. It is also recommended that a newbattery be placed in the hand-held transmitterof the device being programmed to Home-Link for quicker training and accurate trans-mission of the radio-frequency signal. TheHomeLink buttons must be reset first. Whenthis has been completed, Homelink is inlearning mode so that you can perform pro-gramming.
To program HomeLink®
1. Press the HomeLink ®
button to be pro-
grammed. The HomeLink ®
indicator will
begin flashing yellow once a second. You do not need to continue holding the button.
2. Point the hand-held transmitter toward the HomeLink ®
button to be programmed and
hold it approx. 6–12 inches (15–30 cm) away from the HomeLink ®
button. Do not
obstruct the HomeLink ®
indicator light.

Gate Operator/Canadian Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmit- ter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after severalseconds of transmission – which may not be longenough for HomeLink to pick up the signal dur-ing programming. Similar to this Canadian law,some U.S. gate operators are designed to “time-out” in the same manner. If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a gate operator or garage dooropener by using the “Programming” procedures, replace “Programming HomeLink” step 3 with the following:
• Continue to press and hold the HomeLink button while you
press and release - every
two seconds (“cycle”) your hand-held trans-
mitter until the HomeLink indicator light changes from a slow to a rapidly blinkinglight. Now you may release both the Home-Link and hand-held transmitter buttons.
Proceed with “Programming” step 4 to complete.
Using HomeLink ®When programming has been completed, HomeLink
®
can be used instead of the original
remote controls. To operate, press and hold the programmed HomeLink ®
button until the trained device begins
to operate 3
(this may take several seconds). The indicator light will glow steadily or flash when the button has been pressed. Activation will nowoccur for the trained device (i.e., garage dooropener, gate operator, security system, entry doorlock, home/office lighting, etc.).
NOTE
If the ignition is switched off, HomeLink will function for 30 minutes after the driver's doorhas been opened.
For convenience, the hand-held transmitter of the device may also be used at any time. In the event that there are still programming diffi- culties or questions, contact HomeLink at:www.HomeLink.com, www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex or by phoning the hotline at 1–800–355–3515.
Resetting HomeLink
®
buttonsUse the following procedure to reset (erase pro- gramming) from the three HomeLink ®
buttons
(individual buttons cannot be reset but can be “reprogrammed” as outlined in the following sec-tion): 1. Press and hold HomeLink ®
buttons 1 and 3
for approx. 10 seconds until the indicator light begins to flash green. 2. Release both buttons.
>HomeLink ®
is now in the training (or
learning) mode and can be programmedat any time beginning with “To program HomeLink ®
" above.
Reprogramming a single HomeLink ®
button
To reprogram an individual HomeLink ®
button:
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink ®
but-
ton. DO NOT release the button.
2. The yellow indicator light will begin to flash after 20 seconds. Without releasing the HomeLink button, proceed with “To program HomeLink ®
" step 1 above.
