WARNING
In order for the IC 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 39 for guidelines. Failure to follow these instruc- tions can result in injury to the vehicle occu- pants in an accident.

Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) – front seats only
01 Safety
Whiplash Protection System
01
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 "rear-ended"). 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.

WARNING
WARNING
Boxes, suitcases, etc. wedged behind the front seats could impede the function of the WHIPS system.
• Any contact between the front seat backrests 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.
• 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
• 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 152.
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.

Child safety
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.
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 46). 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 and backrest can be obtained from your Volvo retailer. USA: for children weighing 33–80 lbs. (15– 36 kg) and 38–54 inches (97–137 cm) in height Canada: for children weighing 40–80 lbs. (18– 36 kg) and 40–54 inches (102–137 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.
Child seat should always be registered. See page 39 for more information.

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.
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 restraint registration and recalls
Registering a child restraint Child restraints could be recalled for safety reasons. You must register your child restraint to be reached in a recall. To stay informed about child safety seat recalls, be sure to fill out and return the registration card that comes with new child restraints. Child restraint recall information is readily avail- able in both the U.S. and Canada. For recall information in the U.S., call the U.S. Govern- ment's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393. In Canada, visit Transport Canada's Child Safety website at http://www.tc.gc.ca/ roadsafety/childsafety/menu.htm.

Child restraints
Infant seat There are three main types of child restraint systems: infant seats, convertible seats, and booster cushions. They are classified accord- ing to the child's age and size. The following section provides general infor- mation on securing a child restraint using a three-point seat belt. Refer to pages pages 47–48 for information on securing a child restraint using ISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors and/or top tether anchorages.
Convertible seat
WARNING
Booster cushion
WARNING
A child seat should never be used in the front passenger seat of any vehicle with a front passenger airbag – not even if the Passenger airbag off symbol near the rear- view mirror is illuminated (on vehicles equip- ped with Occupant Weight Sensor). If the severity of an accident were to cause the airbag to inflate, this could lead to serious injury or death to a child seated in this posi- tion.
Always refer to the child restraint manufac- turer's instructions for detailed information on securing the restraint.
40
WARNING
• When not in use, keep the child restraint system secured or remove it from the passenger compartment to help pre- vent it from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop or collision.
• A small child's head represents a con- siderable part of its total weight and its neck is still very weak. Volvo recom- mends that children up to age 4 travel, properly restrained, facing rearward. In addition, Volvo recommends that chil- dren should ride rearward facing, prop- erly restrained, as long as possible.

Using the ISOFIX/LATCH lower child seat anchors
Lower anchors for ISOFIX/LATCH-equipped child seats are located in both rear seating positions, hidden below the backrest cushions. Symbols on the seat back upholstery mark the anchor positions (see the illustration).
WARNING
The center of the rear seat is not a seating position. This area is not equipped with a seat belt or ISOFIX/LATCH anchors. No one should attempt to sit in this position and child seats should never be placed in the center of the rear seat.
To access the anchors: 1. Put the child restraint in position. 2. Kneel on the child restraint to press down the seat cushion and locate the anchors by feel.
3. Fasten the attachment on the child
restraint's lower straps to the ISOFIX/ LATCH lower anchors.
4. Firmly tension the lower child seat straps according to the manufacturer's instruc- tions.
NOTE
• Always follow your child seat manufac- turer's installation instructions, and use both ISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors and top tethers whenever possible.
WARNING
Volvo's ISOFIX/LATCH anchors conform to FMVSS/CMVSS standards. Always refer to the child restraint system's manual for weight and size ratings.

Top tether anchors
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.
48
See page 47 for information on securing the child restraint to ISOFIX/LATCH 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.

A light sensor then monitors the ambient lighting conditions and automatically switches from LED DRL to the low beam headlights in weaker ambient light (and will switch back to DRL when the ambient light becomes brighter). The LED DRLs will also switch off automatically (and the low beams will switch on) if: • The rear fog light is switched on • The windshield wipers are switched on for
more than 10 seconds
WARNING
• DRL is a driving aid designed to help
conserve electrical current. This system cannot always determine if the ambient lighting conditions are sufficient for switching from low beams to DRL (or vice versa). It is always the driver's responsibility to visually determine if the low beam headlights should be used.
• As the driver, you have full responsibility for operating the vehicle in a safe man- ner.
