Introduction

Welcome to the world-wide family of Volvo owners. We trust that you will enjoy many years of safe driving in your Volvo, an automobile designed with your safety and comfort in mind. To help ensure your satisfaction with this vehicle, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with the equipment descriptions, operating instructions and maintenance require- ments/ recommendations in this manual. We also urge you and your passengers to wear seat belts at all times in this (or any other) automobile. And, of course, please do not operate a vehicle if you may be affected by alcohol, medication or any impairment that could hinder your ability to drive.

Your Volvo is designed to meet all applicable safety and emission standards, as evidenced by the certification labels attached to the driver's door opening and on the left wheel housing in the engine compartment.

For further information please contact your retailer, or:

General Information

Shiftlock (automatic transmission) When your car is parked, the gear selector is locked in the (P) ark 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) ark.

Keylock (automatic transmission) When you switch off the ignition, the gear selector must be in the (P) ark position before the key can be removed from the ignition switch. Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) The ABS system in your car performs a self- diagnostic test when the vehicle first reaches 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 The fuel filler door, located on the right rear fender, is connected to your car's central locking system. The driver's door must be unlocked before the fuel filler door can be opened. When you lock your car using the central locking button on the driver's door or remote control, the fuel filler door also locks after a 10-minute delay. If you lock your car with the fuel filler door open, you will need to unlock the car to allow the fuel filler door to be closed again. Fuel filler cap After refueling, close the fuel filler cap by turning it clockwise until it clicks into place. If this cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (" Check Engine" light) will illuminate. Important information Before you operate your car for the first time, please familiarize yourself with the new- engine oil consumption information on page 126. You should also be familiar with the information in chapters one, two and four of this manual. Information contained in the balance of the manual is extremely useful and should be read after operating the vehicle for the first time. The manual is structured so that it can be used for reference. For this reason, it should be kept in the car for ready access. Do not export your Volvo to another country before investigating that country's applicable safety and exhaust emission requirements. 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. All information, illustrations and specifications contained in this manual are based on the latest product information available at the time of publication. Please note that some vehicles may be equipped differently, depending on special legal requirements. Optional equipment described in this manual may not be available in all markets. Volvo reserves the right to make model changes at any time, or to change specifications or design without notice and without incurring obligation. Volvo and the environment

Volvo is committed to the well being of its customers. 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 environmental 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 freons, lead chromates, naphtanates, asbestos, mercury and cadmium; and reduced the amount 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 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% and the search to eliminate the remaining emissions 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 electronic engine controls, refined purification systems and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal. After Volvo cars and parts have fulfilled their use, recycling is the next critical step in completing the life cycle. The metal content is about 75% of the total weight of a car, which makes the car among the most recycled industrial products. In order to have efficient and well controlled recycling, many Volvo variants have printed dismantling manuals, indicating the weight and material of individual components.

For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts weighing more than 1.7 oz. (50 grams) are marked with international symbols that indicate how the component is to be sorted for recycling. In addition to continuous environmental refinement of conventional gasoline- powered internal combustion engines, Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology alternative- fuel vehicles. When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner 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 economy with improperly inflated tires. Follow the recommended maintenance schedule. Drive at a constant speed. See an authorized Volvo retailer as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indicator) lamp

illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started.

Properly dispose of any vehicle- related waste such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake pads, etc. When cleaning your car, use Volvo's own car care products, all of which have systematically been adapted to the

environment. For additional information regarding the environmental activities in which Volvo Cars of North America, Inc. and Volvo Car Corporation are involved, visit our Internet Home Page at: http://www.volvocars.com Prem-Air On the surface of the radiator in the engine compartment, there is a special coating called Prem- Air. Prem- Air works as a catalytic converter, converting most of the ground level ozone passing through the radiator into oxygen, thereby reducing harmful ground-level ozone.

Introduction

Welcome to the world-wide family of Volvo owners. We trust that you will enjoy many years of safe driving in your Volvo, an automobile designed with your safety and comfort in mind. To help ensure your satisfaction with this vehicle, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with the equipment descriptions, operating instructions and maintenance require- ments/ recommendations in this manual. We also urge you and your passengers to wear seat belts at all times in this (or any other) automobile. And, of course, please do not operate a vehicle if you may be affected by alcohol, medication or any impairment that could hinder your ability to drive.

Your Volvo is designed to meet all applicable safety and emission standards, as evidenced by the certification labels attached to the driver's door opening and on the left wheel housing in the engine compartment.

For further information please contact your retailer, or:

In the USA: Volvo Cars of North America Customer Relations P.O. Box 914 Rockleigh, New Jersey 07647-0914 800-458-1552

General Information

Shiftlock (automatic transmission) When your car is parked, the gear selector is locked in the (P) ark 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) ark.

Keylock (automatic transmission) When you switch off the ignition, the gear selector must be in the (P) ark position before the key can be removed from the ignition switch. Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) The ABS system in your car performs a self- diagnostic test when the vehicle first reaches 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 The fuel filler door, located on the right rear fender, is connected to your car's central locking system. The driver's door must be unlocked before the fuel filler door can be opened. When you lock your car using the central locking button on the driver's door or remote control, the fuel filler door also locks after a 10-minute delay. If you lock your car with the fuel filler door open, you will need to unlock the car to allow the fuel filler door to be closed again. Fuel filler cap After refueling, close the fuel filler cap by turning it clockwise until it clicks into place. If this cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (" Check Engine" light) will illuminate. Important information Before you operate your car for the first time, please familiarize yourself with the new- engine oil consumption information on page 126. You should also be familiar with the information in chapters one, two and four of this manual. Information contained in the balance of the manual is extremely useful and should be read after operating the vehicle for the first time. The manual is structured so that it can be used for reference. For this reason, it should be kept in the car for ready access. Do not export your Volvo to another country before investigating that country's applicable safety and exhaust emission requirements. 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. All information, illustrations and specifications contained in this manual are based on the latest product information available at the time of publication. Please note that some vehicles may be equipped differently, depending on special legal requirements. Optional equipment described in this manual may not be available in all markets. Volvo reserves the right to make model changes at any time, or to change specifications or design without notice and without incurring obligation. Volvo and the environment

Volvo is committed to the well being of its customers. 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 environmental 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 freons, lead chromates, naphtanates, asbestos, mercury and cadmium; and reduced the amount 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 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% and the search to eliminate the remaining emissions 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 electronic engine controls, refined purification systems and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal. After Volvo cars and parts have fulfilled their use, recycling is the next critical step in completing the life cycle. The metal content is about 75% of the total weight of a car, which makes the car among the most recycled industrial products. In order to have efficient and well controlled recycling, many Volvo variants have printed dismantling manuals, indicating the weight and material of individual components.

For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts weighing more than 1.7 oz. (50 grams) are marked with international symbols that indicate how the component is to be sorted for recycling. In addition to continuous environmental refinement of conventional gasoline- powered internal combustion engines, Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology alternative- fuel vehicles. When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner 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 economy with improperly inflated tires. Follow the recommended maintenance schedule. Drive at a constant speed. See an authorized Volvo retailer as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indicator) lamp

illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started.

Properly dispose of any vehicle- related waste such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake pads, etc. When cleaning your car, use Volvo's own car care products, all of which have systematically been adapted to the

environment. For additional information regarding the environmental activities in which Volvo Cars of North America, Inc. and Volvo Car Corporation are involved, visit our Internet Home Page at: http://www.volvocars.com Prem-Air On the surface of the radiator in the engine compartment, there is a special coating called Prem- Air. Prem- Air works as a catalytic converter, converting most of the ground level ozone passing through the radiator into oxygen, thereby reducing harmful ground-level ozone.

pg. 52 Climate control systems - general information Condensation on the inside of the windows Keeping the insides of the windows clean will help reduce the amount of condensation that forms on the windows. Use a commercial window cleaning agent to clean the windows.

Ice and snow Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.

Cabin air filter Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at the recommended intervals. The filter should be replaced more often when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should always be replaced with a new one.

Sensors The sunlight sensor on the dashboard and passenger compartment temperature sensor in the ECC control panel should not be covered in any way as this could cause incorrect information to be sent to the ECC system.

Parking the car in warm weather If your car has been parked in the sun in warm weather, opening the windows and sun roof (option) for several minutes before driving will help release the warm air from the passenger compartment. When the engine is running, close the windows and sun roof and use the recirculation function for several minutes to enable the air conditioning to cool the compartment as quickly as possible.

Windows and optional sun roof The optional ECC system will function best if the windows and optional sun roof are closed. If you drive with the sun roof open, we recommend that you manually adjust the temperature and blower control (the LED in the AUTO switch should be off).

Acceleration The air conditioning is momentarily disengaged during full-throttle acceleration.

Climate control maintenance All maintenance on the climate control systems should be carried out by an authorized Volvo service technician only.

Refrigerant Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your car contains a CFC-free refrigerant - R134a.

This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The system contains 2.2 lbs (1000 g) R134a and uses PAG oil.

Passenger compartment blower Approximately 50 minutes after the ignition is turned off, the blower may come on automati-cally, and run for seven minutes, to remove condensation in the A/ C evaporator.

A/ C - ON/ OFF Press the switch to turn the air conditioning on or off. The "ON" or "OFF" LED will light up to indicate if the system is switched on or off. Other functions will still be regulated automatically (if the AUTO switch is on).

The air conditioning functions only at temperatures above 32¡ F (0¡ C). While the Defroster function is selected, the air conditioning is temporarily activated to dehumidify the air, even if

you have manually switched the air conditioning off. This will only function if the blower is not switched off.

Recirculation Press this switch to engage the recirculation function (air in the passenger compartment recirculates - no fresh air enters the compartment). The LED in the switch will light up to indicate that the function is engaged.

Use this function if the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases, smoke, etc or to heat/ cool the car quickly. Recirculation should not be used for more than 15 minutes. If your windows begin to fog or mist, make sure that

the recirculation function is switched off.

Selecting Defroster automatically switches recirculation off. Timer function (cars equipped with the optional Interior Air Quality system do not have the timer function): Pressing and holding the switch for at least 3 seconds activates a timer function. The LED in the switch will flash for approxi- mately 5 seconds. Recirculation will then always operate for periods of 3 to 12 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature, after which it will switch off automatically. Pressing the switch at any time during the recirculation period will disengage the function and allow fresh air into the passenger compartment.

Press and hold the switch again for at least 3 seconds to return the button to its original function (i. e., recirculation will remain on until you switch it off).

pg. 57 Electronic climate control, ECC (option)

Interior air quality sensor (option) Some cars are equipped with a multifilter and air quality sensor. The filter separates gases and particles, thereby reducing the amounts of odors and contaminants entering the car. The air quality sensor detects increased levels of contaminants in the outside air. When the air quality sensor detects contaminated outside air, the air intake closes and the air inside the passenger compartment is recirculated, i. e. no outside air enters the car. The filter also cleans recirculated passenger compartment air. When the ECC system is in the AUTO mode, the green LED will be on

pg. 60 Manual climate control with air conditioning, (A/ C)

Recirculation Recirculation can be used to shut out stale air, exhaust, etc. from the passenger compartment. The air in the passenger compartment is then recirculated, i. e. no air from outside the car is taken into the car when this function is activated. Recirculation (together with the air conditioning system) cools the passenger compartment more quickly in warm weather.

If you allow the air in the car to recirculate, there is a risk of icing and fogging, especially in winter. The timer function minimizes the risk of ice, misting and stale air.

Activate the timer function as follows:

Press

for more than 3 seconds. The LED flashes for 5 seconds. The air recirculates in the car for 3-12 minutes

. To switch off the timer function:

depending on the outside temperature.

The timer function is activated each time you press Press

pg. 10 Seat belts Seat belts

Not wearing a seat belt is like believing "It'll never happen to me!" Volvo, the inventor of the three-point seat belt, urges you and all occupants of your car to wear seat belts and ensure that children are properly 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 car.

NOTE: Legislation in your state or province may mandate seat belt usage. Additionally, most states and provinces have already made it mandatory for occupants of a car to use seat belts.

So, urging you to "buckle up" is not just our recommendation - legislation in your state or province may mandate seat belt usage. The few seconds it takes to buckle up may one day allow you to say, "It's a good thing I was wearing my seat belt."

NOTE: A chime will sound several times if the driver has not fastened his/ her seat belt.

To buckle 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. The retractor will lock up as follows:

if the belt is pulled out rapidly during braking and acceleration if the vehicle is leaning excessively when driving in turns For the seat belt to provide maximum protection in the event of an accident, it must be worn

correctly. When wearing the seat belt remember:

The belt should not be twisted or turned. The lap belt must be positioned 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.

Before exiting the car, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the belt back into the retractor slot.

Child seats: Please refer to page 27 for information on securing child seats with the seat belts.

pg. 11 Seat belts

During pregnancy Pregnant women should always wear seat belts. Remember that the belt should always be positioned in such a way as to avoid any possible pressure on the abdomen. The lap portion of the belt should be located low, as shown in the above illustration.

WARNING!

Seat belts:

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.

Never repair the belt on your own; have this work done by an authorized Volvo retailer 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 available 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.

pg. 12 Airbags (Supplemental Restraint System)

Driver's side airbag As an enhancement to the three-point seat belt system, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) to complement the three-point seat belt system. The inflatable airbag is installed folded up in the center of the steering wheel. The wheel is embossed with SRS.

WARNING!

Never drive an SRS equipped car with your hands on the steering wheel pad / airbag housing.

Passenger side airbag The airbag on the front passenger side is folded up in a compartment above the glove compartment. The panel is embossed SRS.

WARNING!

No objects, accessory equipment or stickers may be placed on, attached to, or installed near the SRS cover in the center of the steering wheel, the SRS cover above the glove compartment or the area affected by airbag deployment.

WARNING!

As its name implies, SRS is designed to be a SUPPLEMENT to - not a replacement for - the three-point belt system. 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.

When installing any optional equipment, make sure that the SRS system is not damaged. Do not attempt to service any component of the SRS yourself. Attempting to do so may result in serious personal injury. If a problem arises, take your car to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for inspection as soon as possible.

pg. 13 Airbags (Supplemental Restraint System)

NOTE: Deployment of SRS components occurs only one time during an accident. In a collision where deployment occurs, the airbags and seat belt tensioners activate. 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.

NOTE: Volvo's dual- threshold, dual- stage airbags use special sensors that are integrated with the front seat buckles. The point at which the airbag 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 dual- stage airbags are triggered at just 70% of their total capacity. If the impact is more severe, the dual- stage airbags are triggered at full capacity.

WARNING!

Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/ backrests in the front passenger's seat. 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 fastened. Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can impair the steering of your car. 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 prolonged exposure.

pg. 14 Airbags (Supplemental Restraint System)

WARNING!

Children must never be allowed in the front passenger's seat. 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. See page 28 for guidelines.

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. dash covers, may be placed on, attached to, or installed near the SRS hatch (the area above the glove compartment) or the area affected by airbag deployment (see illustration on page 12).

There should be no loose articles, e. g. coffee cups, on the floor, seat or dash area. Never try to open the SRS cover on the steering wheel or the passenger side dash. This should only be done by an authorized Volvo service technician.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants

Warning light in the instrument panel A self- diagnostic system incorporated in the sensor monitors the SRS. This system does not, however, monitor the Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags. If a fault is detected, the warning light will illuminate. The light is included in the warning/ indicator light cluster in the instrument panel. Normally, the SRS warning lamp should light

up when the ignition key is turned to positions I, II or III and should go out after 7 seconds or when the engine is started. Check that this light is functioning properly every time the car is started.

The following items are monitored by the self- diagnostic system:

Sensor unit Cable harness Gas generator

WARNING!

If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it comes on while you are driving, drive the car to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for inspection as soon as possible.

pg. 15 Airbags (Supplemental Restraint System) NOTE: The information on this page does not pertain to the Side Impact Protection System airbags.

When are the airbags deployed? The SRS system is designed to deploy during certain frontal or front-angular collisions, impacts, or decelerations, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and object impacted. The SRS sensor is 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 tensioners or airbags to be deployed. If the airbags have been deployed, we recommend the following:

Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer. Never drive with the airbags deployed. Have an authorized Volvo retailer replace the SRS system components. Use only new, Genuine Volvo Parts when replacing SRS components (airbags, seat belts, tensioners, etc.).

When are the airbags NOT deployed? Not all frontal collisions activate the SRS system. If the collision involves a nonrigid object (e. g., a snow drift or bush), or a rigid, fixed object at a low speed, the SRS system 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.

Seat belts - the heart of the Volvo safety system The heart of the Volvo safety system is the three-point seat belt (a Volvo invention)! In order for the SRS system to provide the protection intended, seat belts must be worn at all times by everyone in the car. The SRS system is a supplement to the seat belts.

WARNING!

Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can impair the steering of your car. 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 prolonged exposure.

pg. 16 Airbags (Supplemental Restraint System)

WARNING!

If your car has been subjected to flood conditions (e. g. soaked carpeting/ standing water on the floor of the vehicle) or if your car 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 car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer for repairs.

Automatic transmission: Before attempting to tow the car, use the following procedure to override the shiftlock system to move the gear selector to the neutral position.

Switch off the ignition for at least 10 minutes and disconnect the battery Wait at least one minute Insert the key in the ignition and turn it to position II Press firmly on the brake pedal. Move the gear selector from (P) ark to the (N) eutral position.

There is no maintenance to perform on the SRS yourself. The month and year shown on the decal on the door pillar indicate when you should contact your Volvo retailer for specific servicing or replacement of airbags and seat belt tensioners. This service must be performed by an authorized Volvo retailer.

Should you have any questions about the SRS system, please contact your authorized Volvo retailer or Volvo Customer Support.:

pg. 17 Airbags (Supplemental Restraint System)

Front airbag (SRS) system As an enhancement to the three-point seat belt system, your Volvo is equipped with a Supple- mental Restraint System (SRS). The Volvo SRS consists of an airbag (2) on both the driver's and passenger's sides and seat belt tensioners in both front door pillars. The system is designed to supplement the protection provided by the three-point seat belt system. All three rear seat belts are also equipped with tensioners.

The SRS system is indicated by the "SRS" 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.

The airbags are folded and located in the steering wheel hub and above the glove compartment.

Deployment: The SRS airbags are designed to deploy during certain frontal or front-angular collisions, impacts, or decelerations, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and object impacted. The airbags may also deploy in certain non-frontal collisions where rapid deceleration occurs.

The airbag system includes gas generators (1) surrounded by the airbags (2) and front seat belt tensioners for both of the front seats. To deploy the system, the sensor (3) activates the gas generators causing the airbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas.

As the movement of the seats' occupants compresses the airbags, some of the gas is expelled at a controlled rate to provide better cushioning. Both seat belt tensioners also deploy, minimizing any seat belt slack. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbags, takes approximately two-tenths of a second.

WARNING!

injury. Deployment occurs very quickly and with considerable force. During normal deployment and depending on variables such as seating position, one may experience abrasions, bruises, swellings, or other injuries as a result of airbag( s) deployment.

Never try to repair any part of the SRS or SIPS bag systems yourself. Any interference in the system could cause malfunction and serious injury. All work on these systems should be performed by an authorized Volvo retailer.

pg. 18 Side airbags (SIPS airbags)

SIPS airbag (front seats only) As an enhancement to the structural Side Impact Protection System built into your car, the car is also equipped with Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags. The SIPS airbag system consists of airbag modules built into the sides of both front seat backrests, wires and gas generators/ sensor units (see illustration on next page).

The SIPS airbag system is designed to help increase occupant protection in the event of certain side impact collisions. The SIPS airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side- impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact. The airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.

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.

*A SIPS airbag warning decal is also located at the end of the instrument panel on the driver's side of the car.

WARNING!

the Side Impact Protection 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 (see illustration in the center column above). Never try to open or repair any components of the SIPS airbag system. This should be done only by an authorized Volvo service technician.

In order for the SIPS airbag to provide its best protection, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright position 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.
