located in the centre console. If the centre console is drenched with water or other liquid, disconnect the battery cables. Do not attempt to start the car since the air- bags may deploy. Recovering the car. Volvo recommends that you have it con- veyed to an authorised Volvo workshop.

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 irrita- tion/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.

A The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a collision 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 (p. 30) have deployed, the fol- lowing is recommended: • Recovering the car. Volvo recommends that you have it conveyed to an author- ised 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 airbags and belt tensioner system are deployed only once during a collision.

02 Safety

General information on safety mode Safety mode is a protective state that is enforced when the collision may have dam- aged any of the car's vital functions, such as the fuel lines, sensors for one of the safety systems, or the brake system.

Warning triangle in the digital combined instru- ment panel. If the car is involved in a collision, the text Safety mode See manual may appear in the combined instrument panel (p. 63) informa- tion display. This means that the car has reduced functionality.

WARNING

Never attempt to repair your car or reset the electronics yourself if the car has been in safety mode. This could result in per- sonal 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.

Safety mode - attempting to start the car If the car is set in safety mode (p. 39) then an attempt to start the car can be made if every- thing seems normal and the absence of fuel leakage has been checked.

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 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 service (p. 325) used instead. Even if the car appears to be driveable, hidden damage may make the car impossible to control once mov- ing.

WARNING

Never, under any circumstances, attempt to restart the car if it smells of fuel when the Safety mode See manual 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 location. Volvo recommends that it is transported to an authorised Volvo work- shop.

02 Safety

General information on child safety 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 recommends that children travel in rear-facing child seats until as late an age as possible, 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; see Child seats (p. 43).

NOTE

Regulations regarding the placement of children in cars vary from country to coun- try. Check what does apply.

Volvo has child safety equipment (child seats, booster cushions & attachment devices) which is designed for your particular car. Using Volvo's child safety equipment pro- vides you with optimum conditions for your child to travel safely in the car. Furthermore, the child safety equipment fits and is easy to use.

Child seats - location Always fit child seats/booster cushions (p. 43) in the rear seat if the passenger airbag is acti- vated (p. 32). If a child is sitting on the front passenger seat then he/she could suffer seri- ous injury if the airbag deploys.

The warning label for the passenger airbag is fitted in one of the following two locations in the car:

Alternative 1: Position of airbag label on passen- ger side sun visor.

Alternative 2: Position of airbag label on passen- ger side door pillar. The label becomes visible when the passenger door is opened. You may place: • a child seat/booster cushion on the front passenger seat provided there is no acti- vated airbag on the front passenger side. • one or more child seats/booster cushions

in the rear seat. WARNING

Never use a rear-facing child seat on a seat protected by an activated airbag. Fail- ure to follow this advice can lead to death or serious injury to the child.

02 Safety

WARNING

Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster cushion in the front seat if the air- bag 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.

WARNING

Booster cushions/child seats with steel braces or some other design that could rest on the seatbelt buckle's opening but- ton must not be used, as they could cause the seatbelt buckle to open accidentally. Do not allow the upper section of the child seat to rest against the windscreen.

Child seat - two-stage booster seat* The integrated booster seats in the rear seat allow children to sit comfortably and safely.

The booster cushions are specially designed to provide optimum safety. In combination with the seatbelt (p. 25) they are approved for children who weigh between 15 and 36 kg and who are at least 95 cm in height.

Correct position, the seatbelt should be posi- tioned in on the shoulder.

WARNING

Volvo recommends that repair or replace- ment is only carried out by an authorised Volvo workshop. Do not make any modifi- cations or additions to the booster cush- ion. If an integrated booster cushion has been subjected to a major load, such as in conjunction with a collision, the entire booster cushion must be replaced. Even if the booster cushion appears to be undam- aged, it may not afford the same level of protection. The booster cushion must also be replaced if it is heavily worn.

WARNING

If the instructions for the two-stage booster seat are not followed then the child could sustain serious injury in the event of an accident.

Incorrect position, the head restraint must be adjusted as high as the head and the seatbelt must not be below the shoulder. Check before driving that: • the integrated two-stage booster seat is correctly set in accordance with the table (p. 49) and in locked position

• the seatbelt is in contact with the child's

body and is not slack or twisted

• the seatbelt does not lie across the

child's throat or below the shoulder (see preceding illustrations)

• the lap section of the seatbelt is posi-

tioned low over the pelvis to provide opti- mal protection.

Adjusting the booster seat's two levels is per- formed by raising (p. 49) and lowering (p. 50).

54

Child seats - upper mounting points The car is equipped with upper mounting points for certain front-facing child seats (p. 43). These mounting points are located on the rear of the seat.

NOTE

In cars with a cargo cover over the lug- gage compartment, this must be removed before child seats can be attached to the securing points.

For detailed information on how the child seat should be tensioned in the upper mounting points, see the seat manufacturer's instruc- tions.

WARNING

The child seat's straps must always be drawn through the hole in the head restraint leg before they are tensioned at the attachment point.

The upper mounting points are primarily intended for use with front-facing child seats. Volvo recommends that small children should sit in rear-facing child seats to as late an age as possible.

Functionality check All indicator and warning symbols, apart from symbols in the centre of the information dis- play, illuminate in key position II or when the engine is started. When the engine has started, all the symbols should go out except the parking brake symbol, which only goes out when the brake is disengaged. If the engine does not start or if the function- ality check is carried out in key position II then all symbols go out within a few seconds except the symbol for faults in the car's emis- sions system and the symbol for low oil pres- sure.

Eco guide & Power guide* Eco guide and Power guide are two com- bined instrument panel (p. 63) instruments which help the driver to drive the car with optimum driving economy. The car also stores statistics of journeys made, which can be viewed in the form of a block diagram; see Trip computer - trip statis- tics* (p. 122).

Eco guide This instrument provides an indication of how economically the car is being driven. To view this function, select the theme "Eco"; see Digital combined instrument panel - over- view (p. 64).

Instantaneous value The instantaneous value is shown here - the higher the reading on the scale, the better. The instantaneous value is calculated based on speed, engine speed, engine power uti- lised plus use of the foot brake. Optimum speed (50-80 km/h) and low engine speeds are encouraged. The pointers fall dur- ing acceleration and braking. Very low instantaneous values illuminate the red zone on the meter (with a short delay), which means poor driving economy and hence should be avoided. Average value The average value slowly follows the instanta- neous value and describes how the car has been driven most recently. The higher the pointers on the scale, the better the economy achieved by the driver.

Power guide This instrument shows the relationship between how much power (Power) is being taken from the engine and how much power is available. To view this function, select the theme "Performance"; see Digital combined instru- ment panel - overview (p. 64).

Volvo recommends that you seek assistance from an authorised Volvo workshop.

03 Instruments and controls

Left/right-hand direction indicator Both direction indicator symbols flash when the hazard warning flashers are used. Eco function on This symbol illuminates when the Eco func- tion is activated. Start/Stop The symbol shines when the engine is auto- stopped. Tyre pressure system The symbol illuminates in the event of low tyre pressure, or if a fault arises in the tyre pressure system.

ABS fault If this symbol illuminates then the system is not working. The car's regular brake system continues to work, but without the ABS func- tion. 1. Stop the car in a safe place and turn off

the engine.

2. Restart the engine. 3.

If the symbol remains illuminated, drive to a workshop to have the ABS system checked. Volvo recommends that you seek assistance from an authorised Volvo workshop.

Rear fog lamp on This symbol illuminates when the rear fog lamp is switched on. Stability system A flashing symbol indicates that the stability system is operating. If the symbol illuminates with constant glow then there is a fault in the system. Stability system, sport mode Sport mode allows for a more active driving experience. The system then detects whether the accelerator pedal, steering wheel move- ments and cornering are more active than in normal driving and then allows controlled skidding of the rear section up to a certain level before it intervenes and stabilises the

car. The symbol illuminates when the sport mode is activated. Engine preheater (diesel) This symbol illuminates during engine pre- heating. Preheating takes place mostly due to low temperature. Low level in fuel tank When the symbol illuminates the level in the fuel tank is low, refuel as soon as possible. Information, read display text When one of the car's systems does not behave as intended, this information symbol illuminates and a text appears on the informa- tion display. The message text is cleared with the OK button, see Menu navigation - com- bined instrument panel (p. 107), or it disap- pears automatically after a time (time depending on which function is indicated). The information symbol can also illuminate in conjunction with other symbols.

NOTE

When a service message is shown, the symbol and message are cleared using the OK button, or disappear automatically after a time.

Main beam On The symbol illuminates when main beam is on and with main beam flash.

Warning

A Certain engine variants do not have systems to warn of oil

pressure loss. In cars with these variants the symbol for low oil pressure is not used. Warning for low oil level is via display text. For more information, see Engine oil - general (p. 367).

Low oil pressure If this symbol illuminates during driving then the engine's oil pressure is too low. Stop the engine immediately and check the engine oil level, top up if necessary. If the symbol illumi- nates and the oil level is normal, contact a workshop. Volvo recommends that you seek assistance from an authorised Volvo work- shop. Parking brake applied This symbol illuminates with a constant glow when the parking brake is applied. The sym- bol flashes during application, and then changes over to a constant glow. A flashing symbol in any other situation means that a fault has arisen. Read the mes- sage on the information display. For more information, see Parking brake (p. 302). Airbags – SRS If this symbol remains illuminated or illumi- nates while driving, it means a fault has been detected in the seatbelt buckle, SRS, SIPS, or IC systems. Drive immediately to a workshop to have the system checked. Volvo recom- mends that you seek assistance from an authorised Volvo workshop. Seatbelt reminder This symbol flashes if someone in a front seat has not put on their seatbelt or if someone in a rear seat has taken off their seatbelt.

Alternator not charging This symbol illuminates during driving if a fault has occurred in the electrical system. Visit a workshop. Volvo recommends that you seek assistance from an authorised Volvo workshop. Fault in brake system If this symbol illuminates, the brake fluid level may be too low. Stop the car in a safe place and check the level in the brake fluid reser- voir; see Brake and clutch fluid - level (p. 373). If the brake and ABS symbols illuminate at the same time, there may be a fault in the brake force distribution system. 1. Stop the car in a safe place and turn off

the engine.

2. Restart the engine.

• If both symbols extinguish, continue

driving.

• If the symbols remain illuminated,

check the level in the brake fluid reser- voir; see Brake and clutch fluid - level (p. 373). If the brake fluid level is nor- mal but the symbols are still illumi- nated, the car can be driven, with great care, to a workshop to have the brake system checked. Volvo recommends that you seek assistance from an authorised Volvo workshop.
