In some cases it may be difficult or impossible to comply with these requirements. Modifications to the emission control system(s) may render your Volvo not certifiable for legal operation in the U.S., Canada and other countries. WARNING If your vehicle is involved in an accident, unseen damage may affect its drivability and safety. CALIFORNIA proposition 65 Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to the state of Cali- fornia to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of Cali- fornia to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. WARNING Certain components of this vehicle such as air bag modules, seat belt pretensioners, adaptive steering columns, and button cell batteries may contain Perchlorate material. Special handling may apply for service or vehicle end of life disposal. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/ perchlorate. Points to keep in mind • Do not export your Volvo to another coun- try before investigating that country's applicable safety and exhaust emission requirements. In some cases it may be dif- ficult or impossible to comply with these requirements. Modifications to the emis- sion control system(s) may render your Volvo not certifiable for legal operation in the U.S., Canada and other countries. • All information, illustrations and specifica- tions contained in this manual are based on the latest product information available at the time of publication.

Optional equipment described in this manual may not be available in all mar- kets. • Volvo reserves the right to make model changes at any time, or to change specifi- cations or design without notice and with- out incurring obligation. Shiftlock (automatic transmission) When your vehicle is parked, the gear selector is locked in the P (Park) position. To release the selector from this position, turn the ignition key to position II (or start the engine), depress the brake pedal, press the button on the front side of the gear selector and move the selector from P (Park). Keylock (automatic transmission) When you switch off the ignition, the gear selector must be in the P (Park) position before the remote key can be removed from the igni- tion switch. Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) The ABS system in your vehicle performs a self-diagnostic test when the vehicle first rea- ches the speed of approximately 12 mph (20 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the ABS control module. This is normal. Fuel filler door Press the button on the light switch panel (see the illustration on page 67) when the vehicle is at a standstill to unlock the fuel filler door. Please note that the fuel filler door will remain unlocked until the vehicle begins to move for- ward. An audible click will be heard when the fuel filler door relocks. Introduction Important information 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 the event of a col- lision. Volvos are designed to absorb the impact of a collision. This energy absorption system including, but not limited to, structural compo- nents such as bumper reinforcement bars, bumper energy absorbers, frames, rails, fender aprons, A-pillars, B-pillars and body panels must work together to maintain cabin integrity and protect the vehicle occupants. The supplemental restraint system including but not limited to air bags, side curtain air bags, and deployment sensors work together with the above components to provide proper tim- ing for air bag deployment. Due to the above, Volvo Cars of North America does not support the use of aftermarket, alter- native or anything other than original Volvo parts for collision repair. In addition Volvo does not support the use or re-use of structural components from an exist- ing vehicle that has been previously damaged. Although these parts may appear equivalent, it is difficult to tell if the parts have been previ- ously replaced with non-OE parts or if the part has been damaged as a result of a prior colli- 11 Introduction Important information sion. The quality of these used parts may also have been affected due to environmental exposure. Information on the Internet Additional information about your vehicle is available at www.volvocars.com.

QR code 12 Volvo and the environment Volvo is committed to the well being of its cus- tomers. As a natural part of this commitment, we care about the environment in which we all live. Caring for the environment means an everyday involvement in reducing our environ- mental impact. Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider the overall environmental impact of a product throughout its complete life cycle. In this context, design, production, product use, and recycling are all important considerations. In production, Volvo has partly or completely phased out several chemicals including CFCs, lead chromates, asbestos, and cadmium; and reduced the number of chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991. Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic converter with a Lambda sond, now called the heated oxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version of this highly efficient system reduces emissions of harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately 95 – 99% and the search to eliminate the remaining emis- sions continues. Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning system of all models as far back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced elec- tronic engine controls and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal. In addition to continuous environmental refinement of con- ventional gasoline-powered internal combus- tion engines, Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles. When you drive a Volvo, you become our part- ner in the work to lessen the car's impact on the environment. To reduce your vehicle's environmental impact, you can: • Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased fuel econ- omy with improperly inflated tires. • Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet. • Drive at a constant speed whenever pos- sible. • See a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible for inspec- tion if the check engine (malfunction indi- cator) light illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started. • Properly dispose of any vehicle-related waste such as used motor oil, used batter- ies, brake pads, etc. • When cleaning your vehicle, please use genuine Volvo car care products. All Volvo car care products are formulated to be environmentally friendly. Introduction Environment Recycling As part of Volvo’s commitment to the environ- ment, it is essential for the vehicle to be recy- cled in an environmentally sound way. Almost the entire vehicle can be recycled and for that reason, the vehicle’s final owner is requested to contact a Volvo retailer for information about approved and certified recycling facilities. FSC(cid:159)(cid:159) The FSC(cid:159) (Forest Stewardship Council(cid:159)) sym- bol indicates that the wood pulp used in this publication comes from FSC(cid:159) certified forests and other responsible sources. 13 Introduction Important warnings Driver distraction A driver has a responsibility to do everything possible to ensure his or her own safety and the safety of passengers in the vehicle and oth- ers sharing the roadway. Avoiding distractions is part of that responsibility. Driver distraction results from driver activities that are not directly related to controlling the vehicle in the driving environment. Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped with many fea- ture-rich entertainment and communication systems. These include hands-free cellular tel- ephones, navigation systems, and multipur- pose audio systems. You may also own other portable electronic devices for your own con- venience. When used properly and safely, they enrich the driving experience. Improperly used, any of these could cause a distraction. For all of these systems, we want to provide the following warning that reflects the strong Volvo concern for your safety. Never use these devi- ces or any feature of your vehicle in a way that distracts you from the task of driving safely. Distraction can lead to a serious accident. In addition to this general warning, we offer the following guidance regarding specific newer features that may be found in your vehicle: • Never use a hand-held cellular telephone while driving. Some jurisdictions prohibit cellular telephone use by a driver while the vehicle is moving. • If your vehicle is equipped with a naviga- tion system, set and make changes to your travel itinerary only with the vehicle parked. • Never program your audio system while the vehicle is moving. Program radio pre- sets with the vehicle parked, and use your programmed presets to make radio use quicker and simpler. • Never use portable computers or personal digital assistants while the vehicle is mov- ing. Accessory installation • We strongly recommend that Volvo owners install only genuine, Volvo-approved accessories, and that accessory installa- tions be performed only by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. • Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to ensure compatibility with the performance, safety, and emission systems in your vehi- cle. Additionally, a trained and qualified Volvo service technician knows where accessories may and may not be safely installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please consult a trained and qualified Volvo serv- ice technician before installing any acces- sory in or on your vehicle. 14 • Accessories that have not been approved by Volvo may or may not be specifically tested for compatibility with your vehicle. Additionally, an inexperienced installer may not be familiar with some of your car's systems. • Any of your car's performance and safety systems could be adversely affected if you install accessories that Volvo has not tes- ted, or if you allow accessories to be instal- led by someone unfamiliar with your vehi- cle. • Damage caused by unapproved or improperly installed accessories may not be covered by your new vehicle warranty. See your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for more warranty information. Volvo assumes no responsi- bility for death, injury, or expenses that may result from the installation of non-gen- uine accessories.

Our concern dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the production line. Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safety cages, and energy- absorbing impact zones were designed into Volvo cars long before it was fashionable or required by government regulation. We will not compromise our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safety features and to refine those already in our cars. You can help. We would appreciate hearing your suggestions about improving automobile safety. We also want to know if you ever have a safety concern with your car. Call us in the U.S. at: 1-800-458-1552 or in Canada at: 1-800-663-8255. Occupant safety reminders How safely you drive doesn't depend on how old you are but rather on: • How well you see. • Your ability to concentrate. • How quickly you make decisions under stress to avoid an accident. The following suggestions are intended to help you cope with the ever changing traffic envi- ronment. • Never drink and drive. • If you are taking any medication, consult your physician about its potential effects on your driving abilities. • Take a driver-retraining course. • Have your eyes checked regularly. • Keep your windshield and headlights clean. • Replace wiper blades when they start to leave streaks. • Take into account the traffic, road, and weather conditions, particularly with regard to stopping distance. • Never send text messages while driving. • Refrain from using or minimize the use of a cell phone while driving. Reporting safety defects in the U.S. If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Volvo Cars of North Amer- ica, LLC. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investiga- tion, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your retailer, or Volvo Cars of North America, LLC. To con- tact NHTSA, you may either 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 Trans- portation, Washington D.C. 20590.

Children should be prop- erly restrained, using an infant, car, or booster seat determined by age, weight and height. Volvo also believes no child should sit in the front seat of a vehicle. Most states and provinces make it mandatory for occupants of a vehicle to use seat belts. Seat belt pretensioners All seat belts are equipped with pretensioners that reduce slack in the belts. These preten- sioners are triggered in situations where the front or side impact airbags deploy, and in cer- 20 tain impacts from the rear. The front seat belts also include a tension reducing device which, in the event of a collision, limits the peak forces exerted by the seat belt on the occupant. Buckling a seat belt Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle until a distinct click is heard. The seat belt retractor is normally "unlocked" and you can move freely, provided that the shoulder belt is not pulled out too far. NOTE The seat belt is easiest to reach by grasping it near the lower seat belt guide, not over the shoulder. The seat belt retractor will lock up in the fol- lowing situations: • if the belt is pulled out rapidly • during braking and acceleration • if the vehicle is leaning excessively • when driving in turns • if the Automatic Locking Retractor/Emer- gency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR) is acti- vated NOTE Each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with the ALR/ELR function, which is designed to help keep the seat belt taut. ALR/ELR activates if the seat belt is pulled out as far as possible. If this is done, a sound from the seat belt retractor will be audible, which is normal, and the seat belt will be pulled taut and locked in place. This function is automatically disabled when the seat belt is unbuckled and fully retracted. See also page 39 for information about using a seat belt's ALR/ELR function to anchor a child seat. When wearing the seat belt remember: • The belt should not be twisted or turned. • The lap section of the belt must be posi- tioned low on the hips (not pressing against the abdomen). • Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled up into its retractor and that the shoulder and lap belts are taut. Unbuckling the seat belt • To remove the seat belt, press the red sec- tion on the seat belt receptacle. Before exiting the vehicle, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled. If nec- essary, guide the belt back into the retrac- tor slot. WARNING Never use a seat belt for more than one occupant. Never wear the shoulder portion of the belt under the arm, behind the back or otherwise out of position. Such use could cause injury in the event of an accident. As seat belts lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretching, they should be replaced after any collision, even if they appear to be undamaged. WARNING • Never repair the belt yourself; have this work done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician only. • Any device used to induce slack into the shoulder belt portion of the three-point belt system will have a detrimental effect on the amount of protection avail- able to you in the event of a collision. • The seat back should not be tilted too far back. The shoulder belt must be taut in order to function properly. • 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. Seat belt guides Seat belt use during pregnancy 01 Safety Seat belts 01 Seat belt guides (on both front seats) These guides are designed to help provide easier access to the seat belts. A belt can be taken out of the guide and slid to the rearmost part of the lower seat belt anchorage rod to make it easier for passengers to enter or exit the rear seat. The seat belt should always be worn during pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in the correct way. The diagonal section should wrap over the shoulder then be routed between the breasts and to the side of the belly. The lap section should lay flat over the thighs and as low as possible under the belly. It must never be allowed to ride upward. Remove all slack from the belt and insure that it fits close to the body without any twists. As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers should adjust their seats and steering wheel such that they can easily maintain control of the vehicle as they drive (which means they must be able to easily operate the foot pedals and 21 Seat belt maintenance Check periodically that the seat belts are in good condition. Use water and a mild deter- gent for cleaning. Check seat belt mechanism function as follows: attach the seat belt and pull rapidly on the strap. 01 Safety 01 Seat belts steering wheel). Within this context, they should strive to position the seat with as large a distance as possible between their belly and the steering wheel. Child seats Please refer to page 40 for information on securing child seats with the seat belts. Seat belt reminder Seat belt reminder light in ceiling console The seat belt reminder consists of an audible signal, an indicator light near the rearview mir- ror and a symbol in the instrument panel that alert all occupants of the vehicle to fasten their 22 seat belts. The audible signal and warning light will be on for a total of 6 seconds from the time the ignition is switched on, regardless of whether or not the seat belts are fastened. If the front seat belts are unbuckled while the vehicle is in motion, the audible signal and warning light will be active for a total of 6 sec- onds. Rear seats The seat belt reminder in the rear seat has two additional functions: • It provides information about which seat belts are fastened in the rear seat. A mes- sage will appear in the information display when a belt is being used. This message will disappear after approximately 6 sec- onds or can be erased by pressing the READ button on the left steering wheel lever. • It also provides a reminder if one of the occupants of the rear seat has unbuckled his/her seat belt while the vehicle is in motion. A visual and audible signal will be given. These signals will stop when the seat belt has been re-buckled or can be stopped by pressing the READ button. The message in the information display can always be accessed, even if it has been erased, by pressing the READ button to display stored messages. Where applicable, a text message will also be displayed when the SRS warning light illumi- nates. If this warning symbol is not functioning properly, the general warning symbol illumi- nates and either SRS AIRBAG SERVICE URGENT or SRS AIRBAG SERVICE REQUIREDwill be displayed. WARNING • If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it illuminates while you are driving, have the vehicle inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible. • Never try to repair any component or part of the SRS yourself. Any interfer- ence in the system could cause mal- function and serious injury. All work on these systems should be performed by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) SRS warning light As an enhancement to the three-point seat belts, your Volvo is equipped with a Supple- mental Restraint System (SRS). Volvo's SRS consists of seat belt pretensioners, front air- bags, side impact airbags, the occupant weight sensor, and inflatable curtains. All of these systems are monitored by the SRS con- trol module. An SRS warning light in the instru- ment panel (see the illustration) illuminates when the ignition key is turned to position I, II, or III, and will normally go out after approxi- mately 7 seconds if no faults are detected in the system. 01 Safety Supplemental Restraint System 01 WARNING If your vehicle has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/standing water on the floor of the vehicle) or if your vehicle has become flood-damaged in any way, do not attempt to start the vehicle or put the key in the ignition before discon- necting the battery (see below). This may cause airbag deployment which could result in personal injury. Have the vehicle towed to a trained and qualified Volvo service tech- nician for repairs. Automatic transmission Before attempting to tow the vehicle, use the following procedure to override the shiftlock system to move the gear selector to the neutral position: 1. Switch off the ignition for at least 10 minutes and disconnect the battery. 2. Wait at least one minute. 3. Insert the key in the ignition and turn it to position II. 4. Press firmly on the brake pedal. 5. Move the gear selector from Park (P) to the Neutral (N) position, see page 158, for information on manually overriding the shiftlock system. 23 01 Safety 01 Supplemental Restraint System The front airbag system The front airbags supplement the three-point seat belts. For these airbags to provide the protection intended, seat belts must be worn at all times. The front airbag system includes gas genera- tors surrounded by the airbags, and decelera- tion sensors that activate the gas generators, causing the airbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas. Location of the passenger's side front airbag As the movement of the seats' occupants com- presses the airbags, some of the gas is expel- led at a controlled rate to provide better cush- ioning. Both seat belt pretensioners also deploy, minimizing seat belt slack. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbags, takes approximately one fifth of a sec- ond. The location of the front airbags is indicated by SRS AIRBAG embossed on the steering wheel pad and above the glove compartment, and by decals on both sun visors and on the front and far right side of the dash. 24 • The driver's side front airbag is folded and located in the steering wheel hub. • The passenger's side front airbag is folded behind a panel located above the glove compartment. WARNING • The airbags in the vehicle are designed to be a SUPPLEMENT to-not a replace- ment for-the three-point seat belts. For maximum protection, wear seat belts at all times. Be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident. • Never drive a vehicle with your hands on the steering wheel pad/airbag housing. • The front airbags are designed to help prevent serious injury. Deployment occurs very quickly and with consider- able force. During normal deployment and depending on variables such as seating position, one may experience abrasions, bruises, swellings, or other injuries as a result from deployment of one or both of the airbags. • When installing any accessory equip- ment, make sure that the front airbag system is not damaged. Any interfer- ence in the system could cause mal- function. Front airbag deployment • The front airbags are designed to deploy during certain frontal or front-angular col- lisions, impacts, or decelerations, depend- ing on the crash severity, angle, speed and object impacted. The airbags may also deploy in certain non-frontal collisions where rapid deceleration occurs. • The SRS sensors, which trigger the front airbags, are designed to react to both the impact of the collision and the inertial forces generated by it, and to determine if the intensity of the collision is sufficient for the seat belt pretensioners and/or airbags to be deployed. However, not all frontal collisions activate the front airbags. • If the collision involves a nonrigid object (e.g., a snow drift or bush), or a rigid, fixed object at a low speed, the front airbags will not necessarily deploy. • Front airbags do not normally deploy in a side impact collision, in a collision from the rear or in a rollover situation. • The amount of damage to the bodywork does not reliably indicate if the airbags should have deployed or not. NOTE • Deployment of front airbags occurs only one time during an accident. In a colli- sion where deployment occurs, the air- bags and seat belt pretensioners acti- vate. Some noise occurs and a small amount of powder is released. The release of the powder may appear as smoke-like matter. This is a normal characteristic and does not indicate fire. • Volvo's front airbags use special sen- sors that are integrated with the front seat buckles. The point at which the air- bag deploys is determined by whether or not the seat belt is being used, as well as the severity of the collision. • Collisions can occur where only one of the airbags deploys. If the impact is less severe, but severe enough to present a clear injury risk, the airbags are trig- gered at partial capacity. If the impact is more severe, the airbags are triggered at full capacity.

We also recommend that occupants under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened1. • Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can impair the steering of your vehicle. Other safety systems can also be damaged. • The smoke and dust formed when the airbags are deployed can cause skin and eye irritation in the event of pro- longed exposure. 1 See also the Occupant Weight Sensor information on page 28. 26 Passenger's side airbag decal Airbag decal on the outside of both sun visors 01 Safety Supplemental Restraint System 01 WARNING WARNING • Children must never be allowed in the front passenger's seat. • Occupants in the front passenger's seat must never sit on the edge of the seat, sit leaning toward the instrument panel or otherwise 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. • Feet must be on the floor, e.g., not on the dash, seat or out of the window. • No objects or accessory equipment, e.g. dashboard covers, may be placed on, attached to, or installed near the air bag hatch (the area above the glove compartment) or the area affected by airbag deployment. • There should be no loose articles, e.g. coffee cups, on the floor, seat, or dash- board area. • Never try to open the airbag cover on the steering wheel or the passenger's side dashboard. This should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. • Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants. 27 01 Safety 01 Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) Disabling the passenger's side front airbag Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) indicator light Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the rear seat of any vehi- cle with a passenger's side front airbag, and be properly restrained. Children should always be seated in child restraints appropriate for their size and weight. See also the child safety rec- ommendations on page 38. The Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) is designed to meet the regulatory requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208 and is designed to disable (will 28 The OWS uses a PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp which will illuminate and stay on to remind you that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is located in the overhead console, near the base of the rearview mirror. NOTE When the ignition is switched on, the OWS indicator light will go on for up to 10 seconds while the system performs a self-diagnostic test. However, if a fault is detected in the system: • The OWS indicator light will stay on • The SRS warning light (see page 23) will come on and stay on The message PASS. AIRBAG OFF SERVICE URGENT will be displayed in the information display. not inflate) the passenger's side front airbag under certain conditions. The OWS works with sensors that are part of the front passenger's seat and seat belt. The sensors are designed to detect the presence of a properly seated occupant and determine if the passenger's side front airbag should be enabled (may inflate) or disabled (will not inflate). The OWS will disable (will not inflate) the pas- senger's side front airbag when: • the front passenger's seat is unoccupied, or has small/medium objects in the front seat, • the system determines that an infant is present in a rear-facing infant seat that is installed according to the manufacturer's instructions, • the system determines that a small child is present in a forward-facing child restraint that is installed according to the manufac- turer's instructions, • the system determines that a small child is present in a booster seat, • a front passenger takes his/her weight off of the seat for a period of time, • a child or a small person occupies the front passenger's seat. WARNING If a fault in the system is detected and indi- cated as explained on the preceding page, be aware that the passenger's side front air- bag will not deploy in the event of a collision. In this case, the SRS system and Occupant Weight Sensor should be inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service techni- cian as soon as possible. WARNING • Never try to open, remove, or repair any components in the OWS system. This could result in system malfunction. Maintenance or repairs should only be carried out by an a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. • The front passenger's seat should not be modified in any way. This could reduce pressure on the seat cushion, which might interfere with the OWS sys- tem's function. The OWS is designed to disable (will not inflate) the passenger's side front airbag when a rear facing infant seat, a forward-facing child restraint, or a booster seat is detected. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will illuminate and stay on to remind you that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled (see the following table).

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 in the event of a collision anytime the system senses that a 01 Safety Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) 01 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. Modifications If you are considering modifying your vehicle in any way to accommodate a disability, for 29 01 Safety 01 Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) example by altering or adapting the driver's or front passenger's seat(s) and/or airbag sys- tems, please contact Volvo at: In the USA Volvo Cars of North America, LLC Customer Care Center 1 Volvo Drive P.O.

National Customer Service 175 Gordon Baker Road North York, Ontario M2H 2N7 1-800-663-8255 30 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 39. • 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 Driver's side SIPS airbag 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.
