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. All work on these systemsshould be performed by a trained andqualified Volvo service technician. If the dedicated warning symbol is notfunctioning, the general warning sym-bol will illuminate instead and the samemessage will be displayed in the instru-
ment panel.

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. Call us in the U.S. at:1-800-458-1552 or in Canada at:1-800-663-8255.

Child safety
Children should always be seated safely when traveling in the vehicle.
General informationVolvo recommends the proper use of restraint systems for all occupants including children.Remember that, regardless of age and size, achild should always be properly restrained in avehicle. Your vehicle is also equipped with ISOFIX/ LATCH attachments, which make it more conven-ient to install child seats. Some restraint systems for children are designed to be secured in the vehicle by lap belts or thelap portion of a lap-shoulder belt. Such childrestraint systems can help protect children invehicles in the event of an accident only if theyare used properly. However, children could beendangered in a crash if the child restraints arenot properly secured in the vehicle. Failure to fol-low the installation instructions for your childrestraint can result in your child striking the vehi-cle's interior in a sudden stop. Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable substitute for a child restraint system. In an acci-dent, a child held in a person's arms can becrushed between the vehicle's interior and anunrestrained person. The child could also beinjured by striking the interior, or by being ejectedfrom the vehicle during a sudden maneuver or

Your Volvo is equipped with child restraint top tether anchorages for all three seating positionsin the rear seat. They are located on the rearside of the backrests.
Child restraint anchorages
Top tether anchors and symbols on the rear side of the second row backrests. There is no symbol for the centeranchor position.
Securing a child seat
1. Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
2. Route the top tether strap under the head restraint and attach it to the anchor. 3. Attach lower tether straps to the lower ISO-
FIX/LATCH anchors. If the child restraint is not equipped with lower tether straps, or therestraint is used in the center seating posi-tion, follow instructions for securing a childrestraint using the Automatic LockingRetractor seat belt.
–Firmly tension all straps.
Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's instructions for information on securing the childseat.
NOTE
On models equipped with the optional cargo area cover, this cover should be removedbefore a child seat is attached to the childrestraint anchors.
WARNING
• Always refer to the recommendations made by the child restraint manufacturer.
• Volvo recommends that the top tetheranchors be used when installing a for-ward-facing child restraint.
• Never route a top tether strap over thetop of the head restraint. The strapshould be routed beneath the headrestraint.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
100The accuracy of this figure may vary if your driv- ing style changes. An economical driving style willgenerally increase this distance.
Distance to discharged batteryThis gauge shows the approximate dis-tance that can be driven on the chargeremaining in the hybrid battery.
When the gauge displays "----" there is no guar- anteed driving charge remaining in the battery. This calculation is based on the average electrical current consumption in a normally loaded vehicleduring normal driving, and whether the A/C is on or off. Changing drive modes from
Hybrid toPure may increase the calculated distance to a
discharged battery since Pure mode reduces
certain climate system functions. An economical driving style will generally increase this distance.
Distance using the electric motor
To get the optimal driving distance using the electric motor, it is essential to conserve current.Functions that use a great deal of current (e.g.,audio system, electrical heating in the steeringwheel/door mirrors/rear window/seats, very coldair from the climate system, etc.) reduce the pos-sible driving distance.
NOTE
In addition to high electrical consumption in the passenger compartment, fast accelera-tion, sudden braking, heavy loads, low ambienttemperatures and driving up hills can reducethe possible driving distance.
Tourist (alternative speedometer)This is an alternative digital speedometer can be used when driving in areas in which the speedlimit is listed in a different unit of measure. If the speedometer is in mph, this gauge will show the
vehicle's speed in km/h and vice versa.

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 deviceyou 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 erased for 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 ®
