This will give you the opportunity to familiarise yourself with new functions, to see how best to handle the car in different sit- uations, and to make the best use of all the car's features. Please pay attention to the safety instructions contained in the manual. The specifications, design features and illus- trations in this owner's manual are not binding. We reserve the right to make modifications without prior notice. © Volvo Car Corporation Option All types of option/accessory are marked with an asterisk*. In addition to standard equipment, this manual also describes options (factory fitted equip- ment) and certain accessories (retrofitted extra equipment). The equipment described in the owner's man- ual is not available in all cars - they have dif- ferent equipment depending on adaptations for the needs of different markets and national or local laws and regulations. In the event of uncertainty over what is stand- ard or an option/accessory, contact a Volvo dealer. Special texts WARNING Warning texts advise of a risk of personal injury. IMPORTANT Important texts advise of a risk of material damage. NOTE NOTE texts give advice or tips that facilitate the use of features and functions for exam- ple.

Examples of this are in menu texts and mes- sage texts on the information display (e.g. Audio settings). Decals The car contains different types of decal which are designed to convey important information in a simple and clear manner. The decals in the car have the following descending degree of importance for the warning/information. Warning for personal injury G031590 Black ISO symbols on yellow warning field, white text/image on black message field. Used to indicate the presence of danger which, if the warning is ignored, may result in serious per- sonal injury or fatality. Risk of property damage Information White ISO symbols and white text/image on black message field. White ISO symbols and white text/image on black or blue warning field and message field. Used to indicate the presence of danger which, if the warning is ignored, may result in damage to property. NOTE The labels shown in the owner's manual are not provided as exact reproductions of those in the car. The purpose is to show their approximate appearance and location in the car. The information that applies to your car in particular is available on the label in question in your car. Introduction Important information Procedure lists Procedures where action must be taken in a certain sequence are numbered in the owner's manual. When there is a series of illustrations for step-by-step instructions each step is numbered in the same way as the corres- ponding illustration. There are numbered lists with letters adja- cent to the series of illustrations where the order of the instructions is not significant. Arrows appear numbered and unnum- bered and are used to illustrate a move- ment. If there is no series of illustrations for step-by- step instructions then the different steps are numbered with normal numbers. Position lists Red circles containing a number are used in overview images where different com- ponents are pointed out. The number recurs in the position list featured in con- nection with the illustration that describes the item. Bulleted lists A bulleted list is used when there is a list of points in the owner's manual. Example: Introduction Important information • Coolant • Engine oil To be continued ``` This symbol is located furthest down to the right when a section continues on the following page. Recording data The driving and safety systems in the car use computers which check and share information with each other on the car's function. One or more of these computers may store informa- tion on the systems they check during normal driving, during the course of a collision or near- collision. Stored information may be used by: • Volvo Car Corporation • Service or repair workshops • Police or other authorities • Other parties who claim legal entitlement for access to the information or someone who has permission from the owner to access the information. 10 Accessories and extra equipment The incorrect connection and installation of accessories can negatively affect the car's electrical system. Certain accessories only function when their associated software is installed in the car's computer system. Volvo therefore recommends that you always con- tact an authorised Volvo workshop before installing accessories which are connected to or affect the electrical system. Laser sensor This vehicle is equipped with a sensor which transmits laser light. It is absolutely essential to follow the prescribed instructions when han- dling the laser sensor. The following two labels in English are fitted directly on the laser sensor unit: The upper label in the figure describes the laser beam's classification: • Laser radiation - Do not look into the laser beam with optical instruments - Class 1M laser product. The lower label in the figure describes the laser beam's physical data: • IEC 60825-1:1993 + A2:2001. Complies with FDA (U.S. Food Administration) stand- ards for laser product design with the exception of deviations in accordance with "Laser Notice No. 50" from 26 July 2001. Radiation data for the laser sensor The following table specifies the laser sensor's physical data. Maximum pulse energy Maximum average output Pulse duration Divergence (horizontal x verti- cal) 2.64 μJ 45 mW 33 ns 28° × 12° • The laser sensor's connector must be unplugged before removal from the windscreen. • The laser sensor must be fitted onto the windscreen before the sensor's con- nector is plugged in. • The laser sensor transmits laser light when the remote control key is in posi- tion II and also with the engine switched off (see page 81 on key positions). For more information on the laser sensor, see page 184. Information on the Internet At www.volvocars.com there is further infor- mation concerning your car. WARNING If any of these instructions are not followed then there is a risk of eye injury! • Never look into the laser sensor (which emits spreading invisible laser radiation) at a distance of 100 mm or closer with magnifying optics such as a magnifying glass, microscope, lens or similar opti- cal instruments. • Testing, repair, removal, adjustment and/or replacement of the laser sen- sor's spare parts must only be carried out by a qualified workshop - we rec- ommend an authorised Volvo work- shop. • To avoid exposure to harmful radiation, do not carry out any readjustments or maintenance other than those specified here. • The repairer must follow specially drawn up workshop information for the laser sensor. • Do not remove the laser sensor (this includes removing the lenses). A removed laser sensor does not fulfil laser class 3B as per standard IEC 60825-1. Laser class 3B is not eye-safe and therefore entails a risk of injury. Introduction Important information 11 Introduction Volvo and the environment Volvo Cars' environmental philosophy Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Corpo- ration's core values which influence all opera- tions. We also believe that our customers share our consideration for the environment. Your Volvo complies with strict international environmental standards and is also manufac- tured in one of the cleanest and most resource- efficient plants in the world. Volvo Car Corpo- ration has global ISO certification, which includes the environmental standard ISO 14001 covering all factories and several of our other units. We also set requirements for our partners so that they work systematically with environmental issues. fuel consumption Volvo cars have competitive fuel consumption in each of their respective classes. Lower fuel consumption generally results in lower emis- sion of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. It is possible for the driver to influence fuel con- sumption. For more information read under the heading, Reducing environmental impact. Efficient emission control Your Volvo is manufactured following the con- cept "Clean inside and out" – a concept that encompasses a clean interior environment as well as highly efficient emission control. In many cases the exhaust emissions are well below the applicable standards. Clean air in the passenger compartment A passenger compartment filter prevents dust and pollen from entering the passenger com- partment via the air intake. A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS* (Inte- rior Air Quality System) ensures that the incom- ing air is cleaner than the air in the traffic out- side. The system consists of an electronic sensor and a carbon filter. The incoming air is moni- tored continuously and if there is an increase in 12 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. the level of certain unhealthy gases such as carbon monoxide then the air intake is closed. Such a situation may arise in heavy traffic, queues and tunnels for example. The entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level ozone and hydrocarbons is prevented by the carbon filter. Textile standard The interior of a Volvo is designed to be plea- sant and comfortable, even for people with contact allergies and for asthma sufferers. Extreme attention has been given to choosing environmentally-compatible materials. This means that they also fulfil the requirements in the Oeko-Tex 100 standard1, a major advance towards a healthier passenger compartment environment. Oeko-Tex certification covers seatbelts, car- pets and fabrics for example. The leather in the upholstery undergoes chromium-free tanning and fulfils the certification requirements. Volvo workshops and the environment Regular maintenance creates the conditions for a long service life and low fuel consumption for your car. In this way you contribute to a cleaner environment. When Volvo's workshops are entrusted with the service and mainte- nance of your car it becomes part of our sys- 1 More information on www.oekotex.com tem. Volvo makes clear demands regarding the way in which our workshops are designed in order to prevent spills and discharges into the environment. Our workshop staff have the knowledge and the tools required to guarantee good environmental care. Reducing environmental impact You can easily help reduce environmental impact - here are a few tips: • Avoid letting the engine idle - switch off the engine when stationary for longer periods. Pay attention to local regulations. • Drive economically - think ahead. • Perform service and maintenance in accordance with the owner's manual's instructions - follow the Service and War- ranty Booklet's recommended intervals. • If the car is equipped with an engine block heater*, use it before starting from cold - it improves starting capacity and reduces wear in cold weather and the engine rea- ches normal operating temperature more quickly, which lowers consumption and reduces emissions. • High speed increases consumption con- siderably due to increased wind resistance - a doubling of speed increases wind resis- tance 4 times. Introduction Volvo and the environment • Always dispose of environmentally hazar- dous waste, such as batteries and oils, in an environmentally safe manner. Consult a workshop in the event of uncertainty about how this type of waste should be discarded - an authorised Volvo workshop is recom- mended. Following this advice can save money, the planet's resources are saved and the car's durability is extended. For more information and further advice, see the pages 266 and 355. Recycling As a part of Volvo's environmental work, it is important that the car is recycled in an envi- ronmentally sound manner. Almost all of the car can be recycled. The last owner of the car is therefore requested to contact a dealer for referral to a certified/approved recycling facility. The owner's manual and the environment The FSC symbol shows that the paper pulp in this publication comes from FSC certified for- ests or other controlled sources. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 13 Introduction Volvo and the environment 14 Introduction 15 Seatbelts ................................................................................................ 18 Airbags.................................................................................................... 21 Activating/deactivating the airbag*......................................................... 24 Side airbags (SIPS bags) ....................................................................... 26 Inflatable Curtain (IC) ............................................................................. 28 WHIPS .................................................................................................... 29 When the systems deploy ...................................................................... 31 Safety mode............................................................................................ 32 Child safety............................................................................................. 33 16 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. SAFETY 01 Safety 01 Seatbelts General information Heavy braking can have serious consequences if the seatbelts are not used. Ensure that all passengers use their seatbelts. It is important that the seatbelt lies against the body so it can provide maximum protection. Do not lean the backrest too far back. The seatbelt is designed to protect in a normal seating position. Putting on a seatbelt Pull the belt out slowly and secure it by press- ing its locking tab into the seatbelt buckle. A loud "click" indicates that the belt has locked. 1 Certain markets. 18 Correctly fitted seatbelt. Incorrectly fitted seatbelt. The belt must rest on the shoulder. Height adjustment of seatbelt's upper fix-point. Press in the button and move the upper fix-point vertically. Position the upper fix-point as high as possible without the belt chafing against your throat. The buckles only fit the intended lock in the rear seat1. Releasing the seatbelt Press the red button on the seatbelt buckle and then let the belt retract. If the seatbelt does not retract fully, feed it in by hand so that it does not hang loose. The seatbelt locks and cannot be with- drawn: • if it is pulled out too quickly • during braking and acceleration • if the car leans heavily. Make sure that you: • do not use clips or anything else that can prevent the seatbelt from fitting properly • ensure that the seatbelt is not twisted or caught on anything • the hip strap must be positioned low down (not over the abdomen) • tension the hip strap over the lap by pulling the diagonal shoulder belt up towards the shoulder. WARNING The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seat- belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this may diminish the protection provided by the airbag in the event of a collision. WARNING Each seatbelt is designed for only one per- son. 01 Safety Seatbelts 01 WARNING Never modify or repair the seatbelts your- self. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop. If a seatbelt has been subjected to a major load, such as in conjunction with a collision, the entire seatbelt must be replaced. Some of the protective characteristics of the seat- belt may have been lost, even if it appears to be undamaged. In addition, replace the seatbelt if the belt is worn or damaged. The new seatbelt must be type-approved and intended for installation in the same position as the replaced seatbelt. Seatbelts and pregnancy in the correct way. The diagonal section should wrap over the shoulder then be routed between the breasts and to the side of the abdomen. The lap section should lay flat over the thighs and as low as possible under the abdomen. – It must never be allowed to ride upward. Remove the slack from the seatbelt and ensure that it fits as close to the body as possible. In addition, check that there are no twists in the seatbelt. As the 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 that they must be able to easily operate the foot pedals and steering wheel). The aim should be to posi- tion the seat with as large a distance as possi- ble between abdomen and steering wheel. The seatbelt should always be worn during pregnancy. But it is then crucial that it be worn `` 19 01 Safety 01 Seatbelts Seatbelt reminder Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fasten their seatbelts by means of an audio and visual reminder. The audio reminder is speed dependent, and in some cases time depend- ent. The visual reminder is located in the roof console and the combined instrument panel. Child seats are not covered by the seatbelt reminder system. 20 Rear seat The seatbelt reminder in the rear seat has two subfunctions: • Provides information on which seatbelts are being used in the rear seat. A message appears in the information display when the seatbelts are in use, or if one of the rear doors has been opened. The message is cleared automatically after driving for approximately 30 seconds or after press- ing the indicator stalk's READ button. • Provides a warning if one of the rear seat- belts is unfastened during travel. This warning takes the form of a message on the information display along with the audio/visual signal. The warning stops when the seatbelt is re-fastened, or it can also be acknowledged manually by press- ing the READ button. The message on the information display show- ing which seatbelts are in use is always avail- able. Press the READ button to see stored messages. Certain markets An acoustic signal and indicator lamp remind the driver and front seat passenger to use a seatbelt if either of them is not wearing one. At low speed, the audio reminder will sound for the first 6 seconds. Seatbelt tensioner All the seatbelts are equipped with belt ten- sioners. A mechanism in the seatbelt tensioner tightens the seatbelt in the event of a suffi- ciently violent collision. The seatbelt then pro- vides more effective restraint for the occu- pants. WARNING Never insert the tongue of the passenger's seatbelt into the buckle on the driver's side. Always insert the tongue of the seatbelt into the buckle on the correct side. Do not make any damages on seatbelts nor insert any foreign objects into a buckle. The seatbelts and buckles would then possibly not func- tion as intended in the event of a collision. There is a risk of serous injury. Warning symbol on the combined instrument panel As well as the warning symbol, a message may appear on the information display in appropri- ate cases. If the warning symbol malfunctions, the warning triangle illuminates and SRS Airbag Service required or SRS Airbag Service urgent appears in the display. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop immediately. Airbag system The warning symbol in the combined instru- ment panel illuminates when the remote con- trol key is in key position II or III. The symbol clears after approx. 6 seconds provided the airbag system is fault-free. WARNING If the warning symbol for the airbag system remains illuminated or illuminates while driv- ing, it means that the airbag system does not have full functionality. The symbol indi- cates a fault in the seatbelt tensioner sys- tem, SIPS, the IC system or some other fault in the system. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop immediately. Airbag system, left-hand drive car. 01 Safety Airbags 01 Airbag system, right-hand drive car. The system consists of airbags and sensors. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the airbag(s) are inflated with hot gas. To cushion the impact, the airbag deflates when compressed. When this occurs, smoke escapes into the car. This is completely nor- mal. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbag, occurs within tenths of a second. WARNING Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop for repair. Defective work in the airbag system could cause malfunction and result in serious per- sonal injury. `` 21 01 Safety 01 Airbags NOTE The sensors react differently depending on the course of the collision and whether or not the seatbelts on the driver and passen- ger side are used. It is therefore possible that only one (or none) of the airbags may inflate in a colli- sion. The airbag system senses the force of the collision on the car and adapts accord- ingly so that one or more airbags are deployed. The capacity of the airbags is also adapted to the collision force to which the vehicle is subjected. 22 Passenger airbag The car has an airbag to supplement the pro- tection afforded by the seatbelt on the passen- ger side. It is folded up into a compartment above the glovebox. Its cover panel is marked AIRBAG. WARNING To minimise the risk of injury if the airbag deploys, passengers must sit as upright as possible with their feet on the floor and backs against the backrest. Seatbelts must be secured. WARNING Do not put objects in front of or above the dashboard where the passenger airbag is located. Airbag on the driver's side The car has an airbag to supplement the pro- tection afforded by the seatbelt on the driver's side. It is folded up into the centre of the steer- ing wheel. The steering wheel is marked AIRBAG. WARNING The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seat- belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this may diminish the protection provided by the airbag in the event of a collision. WARNING Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster cushion in the front seat if the airbag is activated. Never allow anybody to stand or sit in front of the front passenger seat. No one shorter than 140 cm should ever sit in the front passenger seat if the airbag is activated. Failure to follow the advice given above can endanger life. 01 Safety Airbags 01 23 01 Safety 01 Activating/deactivating the airbag* Key switch off - PACOS* WARNING Activating/deactivating General information The airbag for the front passenger seat can be deactivated if the car is equipped with a switch, PACOS (Passenger Airbag Cut Off Switch). For information on how to activate/deactivate, see under the heading Activating/deactivating. Key switch off/switch The switch for the passenger airbag (PACOS) is located on the passenger end of the instru- ment panel and is accessible when the pas- senger door is open (see under the heading below, Activating/deactivating). Check that the switch is in the required posi- tion. Volvo recommends that the remote con- trol key's key blade be used to change posi- tion. For information on the key blade, see page 52. WARNING Failure to follow the advice given above could endanger the life of passengers in the car. If the car is equipped with a front passenger airbag, but does not have a PACOS switch (Passenger Airbag Cut Off Switch), then the airbag will always be activated. WARNING Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster cushion in the front seat if the airbag is activated and the symbol in the roof console is illuminated. Failure to follow this advice could endanger the life of the child. WARNING Do not allow anyone to sit in the front pas- senger seat if the message in the roof panel (see page 25) indicates that the airbag is deactivated and if the warning symbol for the airbag system is also displayed in the combined instrument panel. This indicates that there has been a severe malfunction. Visit a workshop as soon as possible. Volvo recommends that you contact an author- ised Volvo workshop. Switch location. The airbag is activated. With the switch in this position, persons taller than 140 cm can sit in the front passenger seat, but never children in a child seat or on a booster cushion. The airbag is deactivated. With the switch in this position, children in a child seat or on a booster cushion can sit in the front passenger seat, but never persons taller than 140 cm. 24 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 01 Safety Activating/deactivating the airbag* 01 NOTE When the remote control key is turned to key position II or III the warning symbol for the airbag is displayed on the combined instrument panel for approx. 6 seconds (see page 21). Following which, the indicator in the roof console is illuminated showing the correct status for the front passenger seat airbag. For more information about the different key positions for the remote control key, see page 81. A text message and a symbol in the roof panel indicate that the airbag for the front passenger seat is deactivated (see preceding illustration). WARNING Activated airbag (passenger seat): Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster cushion on the front passenger seat when the airbag is activated. This applies to everyone shorter than 140 cm. Deactivated airbag (passenger seat): No one taller than 140 cm should ever sit in the front passenger seat when the airbag is deactivated. Failure to follow the advice given above could endanger life. Messages Indicator showing that the passenger airbag is activated. A warning symbol in the roof panel indicates that the airbag for the front passenger seat is activated (see preceding illustration). Indicator showing that the passenger airbag is deactivated. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 25 01 Safety 01 Side airbags (SIPS bags) Side airbag In a side impact collision a large proportion of the collision force is transferred by the SIPS (Side Impact Protection System) to beams, pil- lars, the floor, the roof and other structural parts of the body. The side airbags at the driv- er's and front passenger seats protect the chest area and the hip and are an important part of the SIPS. The SIPS bag system consists of two main components, side airbag and sensors. The side airbags are located in the front seat back- rests. WARNING • Volvo recommends that repairs are only carried out by an authorised Volvo workshop. Defective work in the SIPS- bag system could cause malfunction and result in serious personal injury. • Do not put objects in the area between the outside of the seat and the door panel, since this area is required by the side airbag. • Volvo recommends the use only of car seat covers approved by Volvo. Other seat covers may impede the operation of the side airbags. • The side airbag is a supplement to the seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt. Child seats and side airbags The protection provided by the car to children seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion is not diminished by the side airbag. A child seat or booster cushion can be placed on the front passenger seat provided that the car does not have an activated1 passenger air- bag. 1 For information on activating/deactivating the airbag, see page 24. 26 Location Driver's seat, left-hand drive. Front passenger seat, left-hand drive. The SIPS bag system consists of side airbags and sensors. A sufficiently violent collision trips 01 Safety Side airbags (SIPS bags) 01 the sensors and the side airbags are inflated. The airbag inflates between the occupant and the door panel and thereby cushions the initial impact. The airbag deflates when compressed by the collision. The side airbag is normally only deployed on the side of the collision. 27 01 Safety 01 Inflatable Curtain (IC) Properties The inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is a part of SIPS and the airbags. It is fitted in the headlining along both sides of the roof and protects the car's occupants sitting in the outer seats. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the inflatable curtain is inflated. The inflatable curtain helps to prevent the driver and passengers from striking their heads on the inside of the car during a collision. 28 WARNING Never hang or attach heavy items onto the handles in the roof. The hook is only designed for light clothing (not for solid objects such as umbrellas for example). Do not screw or install anything onto the car's headlining, door pillars or side panels. This could compromise the intended pro- tection. Volvo recommends that you only ever use Volvo genuine parts that are approved for placement in these areas. WARNING Do not load the car higher than 50 mm under the top edge of the door windows. Other- wise, the intended protection of the inflat- able curtain, which is concealed in the head- lining, may be compromised. WARNING The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt. Protection against whiplash injury – WHIPS The whiplash protection system (WHIPS) con- sists of energy absorbing backrests and spe- cially designed head restraints in the front seats. The system is actuated by a rear-end collision, where the angle and speed of the col- lision, and the nature of the colliding vehicle all have an influence. Correct seating position For the best possible protection, the driver and front seat passenger should sit in the centre of the seat with as little space as possible between the head and the head restraint. Do not obstruct the WHIPS system 01 Safety WHIPS 01 WARNING The WHIPS system is a supplement to the seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt. Properties of the seat When the WHIPS system is deployed, the front seat backrests are lowered backward to alter the seating position of the driver and front seat passenger. This reduces the risk of whiplash injury. WARNING Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS system yourself. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop. WHIPS system and child seats/booster cushions The protection provided by the car to children seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion is not diminished by the WHIPS system. Do not leave any objects on the floor behind the driver's seat/passenger seat that may prevent the WHIPS system from functioning. WARNING Do not squeeze rigid objects between the rear seat cushion and the front seat back- rest. Make sure you do not to obstruct the function of the WHIPS system. `` 29 WARNING If a seat has been subjected to extreme forces, such as due to a rear-end collision, the WHIPS system must be checked. Volvo recommends that it is checked by an authorised Volvo workshop. Part of the WHIPS system's protective capacity may have been lost even if the seats appear to be undamaged. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop to have the sys- tem checked even after a minor rear-end collision. 01 Safety 01 WHIPS Do not place objects on the rear seat that may prevent the WHIPS system from functioning. WARNING If a rear seat backrest is folded down, the corresponding front seat must be moved forward so that it does not touch the folded backrest. 30 When the systems deploy System Triggered Seatbelt tensioner, front seat Seatbelt tensioner, rear seat In the event of over- turning, a frontal col- lision and/or side- impact accident and/or rear-end col- lision In the event of over- turning and a frontal collision Airbags (SRS) In a frontal collisionA Side airbags (SIPS) In a side-impact accident Inflatable Curtain IC In the event of a side-impact acci- dent, overturning and a frontal colli- sion if the car is not hit directly head-on Whiplash protection WHIPS In a rear-end colli- sion A The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a col- lision without airbag deployment. A number of factors such as the rigidity and weight of the object hit, the speed of the car, the angle of the collision etc. affects how the different safety systems of the car are activated. If the airbags have deployed, the following is recommended: • Recovering the car. Volvo recommends that you have it conveyed to an authorised Volvo workshop. Do not drive with deployed airbags. • Volvo recommends that you engage an authorised Volvo workshop to handle the replacement of components in the car's safety systems. • Always contact a doctor. NOTE The SRS, SIPS, IC and belt tensioner sys- tems are deployed only once during a colli- sion. WARNING The airbag control module is located in the centre console. If the centre console is drenched with water or other liquid, discon- nect the battery cables. Do not attempt to start the car since the airbags may deploy. Recovering the car. Volvo recommends that you have it conveyed to an authorised Volvo workshop. 01 Safety When the systems deploy 01 WARNING Never drive with deployed airbags. They can make steering difficult. Other safety systems may also be damaged. The smoke and dust created when the airbags are deployed can cause skin and eye irritation/ injury after intensive exposure. In case of irritation, wash with cold water. The rapid deployment sequence and airbag fabric may cause friction and skin burns. 31 01 Safety 01 Safety mode Driving after a collision If the car is involved in a collision, the text Safety mode See manual may appear on the information display. This means that the car has reduced functionality. Safety mode is a protective state that is enforced when the col- lision may have damaged any of the car's vital functions, such as the fuel lines, sensors for one of the safety systems, or the brake system. Attempting to start the car First, check that no fuel is leaking from the car. There must be no smell of fuel either. If everything seems normal and you have checked for indications of fuel leakage, you may attempt to start the car. Remove the remote control key and open the driver's door. If a message is now shown to the 32 WARNING Never, under any circumstances, attempt to restart the car if it smells of fuel when the Safety mode message is displayed. Leave the car at once. WARNING If the car is in safety mode it must not be towed. It must be transported from its loca- tion. Volvo recommends that it is transpor- ted to an authorised Volvo workshop. effect that the ignition is on, press the start button. Then close the door and reinsert the remote control key. The car's electronics will now try to reset themselves to normal mode. Then try to start the car. If the message Safety mode See manual is still shown on the display then the car must not be driven or towed, but a vehicle recovery serv- ice used instead. Even if the car appears to be driveable, hidden damage may make the car impossible to control once moving. Moving the car If Normal mode is shown after Safety mode See manual has been reset, the car can be moved carefully out of a dangerous position. Do not move the car further than necessary. WARNING Never attempt to repair your car or reset the electronics yourself if the car has been in safety mode. This could result in personal injury or the car not functioning as normal. Volvo recommends that you engage an authorised Volvo workshop to check and restore the car to normal status after Safety mode See manual has been displayed. Children should sit comfortably and safely Volvo recommends that children travel in rear- facing child seats until as late an age as pos- sible, at least until 3-4 years of age, and then front-facing booster cushions/child seats until up to 10 years of age. The position of a child in the car and the choice of equipment are dictated by the child's weight and size, for more information, see page 35. NOTE Regulations regarding the placement of children in cars vary from country to coun- try. Check what does apply. Children of all ages and sizes must always sit correctly secured in the car. Never allow a child to sit on the knee of a passenger. Volvo has child safety equipment (child seats, booster cushions & attachment devices) which is designed for your particular car. Using Vol- vo's child safety equipment provides you with optimum conditions for your child to travel safely in the car. Furthermore, the child safety equipment fits and is easy to use. 1 For information on activated/deactivated airbag, see page 24. 01 Safety Child safety 01 NOTE In the event of questions when fitting child safety products, contact the manufacturer for clearer instructions. beams under the seat.

If an integrated booster cushion has been subjected to a major load, such as in con- junction with a collision, the entire booster cushion must be replaced. Even if the booster cushion appears to be undamaged, it may not afford the same level of protec- tion. The booster cushion must also be replaced if it is heavily worn. Start from the lower stage. Press the but- ton. NOTE It is not possible to adjust the booster cush- ion from stage 2 to stage 1. It must first be reset by being fully folded into the seat cushion.

NOTE The ISOFIX fixture system is an accessory for the passenger seat. Always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions when connecting a child seat to the ISOFIX mounting points. Size classes Child seats are in different sizes – cars are in different sizes. This means that not all child seats are suitable for all seats in all car models. Consequently, there is a size classification for child seats using the ISOFIX fixture system in order to assist users in choosing the correct child seat (see the following table). Size class Description B1 Full size, front-facing child seat Reduced size (alt. 1), front- facing child seat Reduced size (alt.2), front- facing child seat Full size, rear-facing child seat Reduced size, rear-facing child seat Rear-facing infant seat 01 Safety Child safety 01 Size class Description WARNING NOTE Transverse infant seat, left- hand Transverse infant seat, right- hand Never place a child in the passenger seat if the car is equipped with an activated airbag.
