· 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 to the right above).
· Never try to open or repair any components of the SIPS airbag system. This should only be done by an authorized
Volvo service technician.
· For best protection from the SIPS airbag system, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright position with
the seat belt properly fastened.

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.
· 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 flooddamaged in any way, do not attempt to start the vehicle or put the key in the ignition
before disconnecting the battery. This may cause airbag deployment which could result in personal injury. Have the
car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer for repairs.
pg. 9 Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS)
Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) - front seats only
The WHIPS system consists of specially designed hinges and brackets on the front seat backrests and head restraints
designed to help absorb some of the energy generated in a collision from the rear ("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
rearward. This movement helps absorb some of the forces that could result in the whiplash effect.

LED alarm status indicator
Alarm
The radio signal emitted from the transmitter, which is used to set/unset the alarm, is a "rolling code" signal. This
means that the signal is changed randomly for each transmission and is intended to help prevent unauthorized
recording of the code.
When armed (set), the alarm continuously monitors a number of points on the car. The following conditions will set off
the alarm:
· The hood is opened
· The trunk/tailgate is opened
· A door is opened
· The ignition switch is tampered with
· The car is lifted or towed (if the car is equipped with the optional inclination sensor)
· The battery is disconnected (if the car is equipped with the optional backup battery siren). The alarm will sound for
ten 30 second intervals, with a 5 second pause between intervals. This function cannot be interrupted.
Arming (setting) the alarm
Press the LOCK button on the remote control, lock the car using the key in the driver's door or press the central lock
button on one of the front doors with the door open. One long flash of the turn signals will confirm that the alarm is
set.
Disarming the alarm
Press the UNLOCK button on the remote control or unlock the doors with the key.
Turning off (stopping) the alarm
If the alarm is sounding, it can be stopped by pressing the UNLOCK button on the remote control or by unlocking the
driver's door with the key.
If the alarm is stopped with the remote control, this will be confirmed by two short flashes from the turn signals.
Visual alarm signal
The visual alarm signal is given by flashing all turn signals and turning on the interior lighting for approximately 5
minutes.
Audible alarm signal
An audible alarm signal is given either by a separate alarm horn or by the optional back-up siren. One alarm cycle
lasts for 30 seconds.

pg. 108 Replacing wiper blades
Replacing wiper blades
Lift the wiper arm off the windshield and hold the blade at right angles to the arm. Pinch
the end of the plastic clip located at the back of the arm.
Slide the wiper blade along the arm to release it from the hook.
Install the new blade (installation is the reverse of removal) and make sure that it is
properly attached to the wiper arm.
NOTE: For reasons of safety, you should change the windshield wiper blades as soon as
they start to leave marks on the windshield or fail to wipe efficiently and cleanly.
To obtain maximum lifetime from a set of wiper blades, clean them with a stiffbristle brush
and warm, soapy water as part of a normal car wash.
pg. 109 Replacing headlight wiper blades
Replacing headlight wiper blades (certain models)
Pull the wiper blade in the direction indicated by the arrow in the illustration to remove it. Press the new wiper blade
into place. Check that the new blade is properly attached to the wiper arm.
Cleaning the outside of the windshield and wiper blades
If the windshield/tailgate is not clear after using the wiper(s) or if the blade chatters when running, wax or other
material may be on the blade or on the surface of the glass.
Clean the glass with a suitable cleaning agent. The glass is clean if beads do not form when you rinse it with water.
Clean the wiper blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked in full strength windshield washer solvent. Then rinse
