airbag ena- bled

A Volvo recommends that children always be properly

restrained in appropriate child restraints in the rear seats. Do not assume that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled unless the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is lit. Make sure the child restraint is properly installed. If there is any doubt as to the status of the passenger's side front air- bag, move the child restraint to the rear seat.

The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate) the passenger's side front airbag anytime the

01 Safety

Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS)

system senses that a person of adult size is sitting properly in the front passenger's seat. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will be off and remain off. If a person of adult size is sitting in the front passenger's seat, but the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is on, it is possible that the person isn't sitting properly in the seat. If this happens: 1. Turn the vehicle off and ask the person to place the seatback in an upright position.

2. Have the person sit upright in the seat,

centered on the seat cushion, with the per- son's legs comfortably extended.

3. Restart the vehicle and have the person

4.

remain in this position for about two minutes. This will allow the system to detect that person and enable the pas- senger's frontal airbag. If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp remains on even after this, the person should be advised to ride in the rear seat. This condition reflects limitations of the OWS classification capability. It does not indicate OWS malfunction.

WARNING

WARNING

• No objects that add to the total weight

on the seat should be placed on the front passenger's seat. If a child is seated in the front passenger's seat with any additional weight, this extra weight could cause the OWS system to enable the airbag, which might cause it to deploy in the event of a collision, thereby injuring the child.

• The seat belt should never be wrapped around an object on the front passeng- er's seat. This could interfere with the OWS system's function.

• The front passenger's seat belt should never be used in a way that exerts more pressure on the passenger than normal. This could increase the pressure exer- ted on the weight sensor by a child, and could result in the airbag being enabled, which might cause it to deploy in the event of a collision, thereby injuring the child.

Keep the following points in mind with respect to the OWS system. Failure to follow these instructions could adversely affect the system's function and result in serious injury to the occupant of the front passenger's seat: • The full weight of the front seat passen- ger should always be on the seat cush- ion. The passenger should never lift him/herself off the seat cushion using the armrest in the door or the center console, by pressing the feet on the floor, by sitting on the edge of the seat cushion, or by pressing against the backrest in a way that reduces pressure on the seat cushion. This could cause OWS to disable the passenger's side front airbag.

• Do not place any type of object on the front passenger's seat in such a way that jamming, pressing, or squeezing occurs between the object and the front seat, other than as a direct result of the correct use of the Automatic Locking Retractor/Emergency Locking Retrac- tor (ALR/ELR) seat belt, see page 36.

• No objects should be placed under the front passenger's seat. This could inter- fere with the OWS system's function.

Side impact airbags – front seats only

Location of the side impact (SIPS) airbag As an enhancement to the structural side impact protection built into your car, the car is also equipped with Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags. The SIPS airbag system is designed to help increase occupant protection in the event of certain side impact collisions. The SIPS air- bags are designed to deploy only during cer- tain side-impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact.

SIPS airbag deployment

NOTE

SIPS airbag deployment (one airbag) occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by the impact. The airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.

Components in the SIPS airbag system This SIPS airbag system consists of gas gen- erators and side airbag modules built into the outboard sides of both front seat backrests.

01 Safety

Side impact protection airbags

01

WARNING

• The SIPS airbag system is a supple-

ment to the structural Side Impact Pro- tection System and the three-point seat belt system. It is not designed to deploy during collisions from the front or rear of the car or in rollover situations.

• The use of seat covers on the front seats may impede SIPS airbag deployment. • No objects, accessory equipment or

stickers may be placed on, attached to or installed near the SIPS airbag system or in the area affected by SIPS airbag deployment.

• Never try to open or repair any compo- nents of the SIPS airbag system. This should be done only by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

• In order for the SIPS airbag to provide

its best protection, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright posi- tion with the seat belt properly fastened. • Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the occupants of the vehicle in the event of an accident.

Volvo Inflatable Curtain (VIC)

The Volvo Inflatable Curtain system

NOTE

If the inflatable curtain deploys, it remains inflated for approximately 3 seconds.

This system consists of inflatable curtains located along the sides of the roof liners, stretching from the center of both front side windows to the rear edge of the rear side door windows. It is designed to help protect the heads of the occupants of the front and rear seats in certain side impact collisions. In certain side impacts, both the Inflatable Cur- tain (VIC) and the Side Impact Airbag System (SIPS airbag) will deploy. The VIC and the SIPS airbag deploy simultaneously.

WARNING

• The VIC system is a supplement to the Side Impact Protection System. It is not designed to deploy during collisions from the front or rear of the car or in roll- over situations.

• Never try to open or repair any compo- nents of the VIC system. This should be done only by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

• Never hang heavy items from the ceiling handles. This could impede deployment of the Inflatable curtain.

30

WARNING

In order for the VIC to provide its best pro- tection, all occupants of the vehicle should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened; adults using the seat belt and children using the proper child restraint system. Only adults should sit in the front seats. Children must never be allowed in the front passenger's seat, see page 36 for guidelines. Failure to follow these instruc- tions can result in injury to the vehicle occu- pants in an accident.

Whiplash Protection System

Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) – front seats only

The WHIPS system consists of specially designed hinges and brackets on the front seat backrests designed to help absorb some of the energy generated in a collision from the rear (when the vehicle is "rearended"). In the event of a collision of this type, the hinges and brackets of the front seat backrests are designed to change position slightly to allow the backrest/head restraint to help support the occupant's head before moving slightly rear- ward. This movement helps absorb some of the forces that could result in whiplash.

WARNING

WARNING

• The WHIPS system is designed to sup-

plement the other safety systems in your car. For this system to function properly, the three-point seat belt must be worn. Please be aware that no sys- tem can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.

• The WHIPS system is designed to func- tion in certain collisions from the rear, depending on the crash severity, angle and speed.

• Occupants in the front seats must never sit out of position. The occupant's back must be as upright as comfort allows and be against the seat back with the seat belt properly fastened.

• If your car has been involved in a rear- end collision, the front seat backrests must be inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician, even if the seats appear to be undamaged.

32

Certain components in the WHIPS sys- tem may need to be replaced.

• Do not attempt to service any compo-

nent in the WHIPS system yourself.

WARNING

• Boxes, suitcases, etc. wedged behind the front seats could impede the func- tion of the WHIPS system.

• If the rear seat backrests are folded

down, cargo must be secured to pre- vent it from sliding forward against the front seat backrests in the event of a collision from the rear. This could inter- fere with the action of the WHIPS sys- tem.

WARNING

Any contact between the front seat backr- ests and the folded rear seat could impede the function of the WHIPS system. If the rear seat is folded down, the occupied front seats must be adjusted forward so that they do not touch the folded rear seat.

WARNING

• Never attempt to repair the vehicle

yourself or to reset the electrical system after the vehicle has displayed CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL. This could result in injury or improper system func- tion.

• Restoring the vehicle to normal operat-

ing mode should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service tech- nician.

• After CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL has been displayed, if you detect the odor of fuel vapor, or see any signs of fuel leakage, do not attempt to start the vehicle. Leave the vehicle immediately.

Attempting to start the vehicle If damage to the vehicle is minor and there is no fuel leakage, you may attempt to start the vehicle. To do so: 1. Remove the ignition key or optional keyless

drive start control, see page 144.

2. Reinsert the key or start control in the igni- tion switch. The vehicle will then attempt to reset CRASH MODE to normal mode.

If the vehicle has been involved in a collision, the text CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL may appear in the information display. This indi- cates that the vehicle's functionality has been reduced. This text can only be shown if the display is undamaged and the vehicle's electrical system is intact. CRASH MODE is a feature that is triggered if one or more of the safety systems (for example, front or side airbags, an inflatable curtain, or one or more of the seat belt pretensioners) has deployed. The collision may have damaged an important function in the vehicle, such as the

3. Try to start the vehicle.

Moving the vehicle If the electrical system is able to reset system status to normal (CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL will no longer be displayed), the vehicle may be moved carefully from its pres- ent position, if for example, it is blocking traffic. It should, however, not be moved farther than is absolutely necessary.

WARNING

Even if the vehicle appears to be drivable after CRASH MODE has been set, it should not be driven or towed (pulled by another vehicle). There may be concealed damage that could make it difficult or impossible to control. The vehicle should be transported on a flatbed tow truck to a trained and quali- fied Volvo service technician for inspection/ repairs.

Children should be seated safely Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint systems for all occupants including children. Remember that, regardless of age and size, a child should always be properly restrained in a car. Your car is also equipped with ISOFIX/LATCH attachments, which make it more convenient to install child seats. Some restraint systems for children are designed to be secured in the vehicle by lap belts or the lap portion of a lap-shoulder belt. Such child restraint systems can help protect children in cars in the event of an accident only if they are used properly. However, children could be endangered in a crash if the child restraints are not properly secured in the vehi- cle. Failure to follow the installation instructions for your child restraint can result in your child striking the vehicle's interior in a sudden stop. Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, a child held in a person's arms can be crushed between the vehicle's interior and an unrestrained person. The child could also be injured by striking the interior, or by being ejec- ted from the vehicle during a sudden maneuver or impact. The same can also happen if the infant or child rides unrestrained on the seat. Other occupants should also be properly

restrained to help reduce the chance of injuring or increasing the injury of a child. All states and provinces have legislation gov- erning how and where children should be car- ried in a car. Find out the regulations existing in your state or province. Recent accident sta- tistics have shown that children are safer in rear seating positions than front seating positions when properly restrained. A child restraint sys- tem can help protect a child in a vehicle. Here's what to look for when selecting a child restraint system: • It should have a label certifying that it

meets applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS 213) – or in Can- ada, CMVSS 213.

• Make sure the child restraint system is

approved for the child's height, weight and development – the label required by the standard or regulation, or instructions for infant restraints, typically provide this infor- mation.

• In using any child restraint system, we urge you to carefully look over the instructions that are provided with the restraint. Be sure you understand them and can use the device properly and safely in this vehicle. A misused child restraint system can result in increased injuries for both the infant or child and other occupants in the vehicle.

01 Safety

Child safety

01

When a child has outgrown the child safety seat, you should use the rear seat with the standard seat belt fastened. The best way to help protect the child here is to place the child on a cushion so that the seat belt is properly located on the hips (see the illustration on page 43). Legislation in your state or province may mandate the use of a child seat or cushion in combination with the seat belt, depending on the child's age and/or size. Please check local regulations. A specially designed and tested booster cush- ion (not available in Canada) can be obtained from your Volvo retailer for children weighing 33 – 80 lb. (15 – 36 kg) and 38-54 inches (97 – 137 cm) in height.

WARNING

Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that children under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened.

Volvo recommends that you do not dis- connect the airbag system in your vehicle. • Volvo strongly recommends that everyone

in the vehicle be properly restrained.

• Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seat of any vehicle with a front passenger side airbag. • Drive safely!

Child safety

Automatic Locking Retractor/ Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/ ELR) To make child seat installation easier, each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equip- ped with a locking mechanism to help keep the seat belt taut.

When attaching the seat belt to a child seat: 1. Attach the seat belt to the child seat

according to the child seat manufacturer's instructions.

2. Pull the seat belt out as far as possible. 3.

Insert the seat belt latch plate into the buckle (lock) in the usual way.

4. Release the seat belt and pull it taut around

the child seat.

A sound from the seat belt retractor will be audible at this time and is normal. The belt will now be locked in place. This function is auto- matically disabled when the seat belt is unlocked and the belt is fully retracted.

WARNING

Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt properly fastened.

Volvo's recommendations Why does Volvo believe that no child should sit in the front seat of a car? It's quite simple really. A front airbag is a very powerful device designed, by law, to help protect an adult. Because of the size of the airbag and its speed of inflation, a child should never be placed in the front seat, even if he or she is properly bel- ted or strapped into a child safety seat. Volvo has been an innovator in safety for over sev- enty-five years, and we'll continue to do our part. But we need your help. Please remember to put your children in the back seat, and buckle them up.

Volvo has some very specific recommendations: • Always wear your seat belt. • Airbags are a SUPPLEMENTAL safety device which, when used with a three- point seat belt can help reduce serious injuries during certain types of accidents.

Be sure to fasten the attachment correctly to the anchor (see the illustration). If the attachment is not correctly fastened, the child restraint may not be properly secured in the event of a collision.

Top tether anchors

Top tether anchorage points Volvo vehicles are equipped with child restraint top tether anchorages in the rear seating posi- tions. They are located on the rear sides of the backrests.

Using the top tether anchorages 1. Place the child restraint on the rear seat. 2. Attach the hook to the anchorage.

Route the strap under the head restraint

WARNING

Be sure to fasten the child tether attachment correctly to the anchor. If it is not correctly fastened, the child seat may not be properly restrained in the event of a collision.

3. Route the top tether strap under the head restraint and fasten its attachment to the anchorage.

4. Firmly tension the top tether strap accord-

ing to the child restraint manufacturer's instructions. Tension the top tether strap only after the lower anchor straps or the seat belt have been firmly tensioned.

01 Safety

Top tether anchors

01

See page 44 for information on securing the child restraint to ISOFIX lower anchors.

WARNING

• Never route a top tether strap over the

top or around the head restraint. It should always be routed under the head restraint.

• Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts or harnesses. The anchorages are not able to withstand excessive forces on them in the event of collision if full harness seat belts or adult seat belts are installed to them. An adult who uses a belt anchored in a child restraint anchorage runs a great risk of suffering severe injuries should a colli- sion occur.

• Do not install rear speakers that require the removal of the top tether anchors or interfere with the proper use of the top tether strap.
