2002 VOLVO S80 fold seats

As an enhancement to the three-point seat belt system, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental 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 (4). 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 far right side of the dash.
The airbags are folded and located in the steering wheel hub and above the glove compartment. They 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 (4). 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!
· 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.

Electrically operated seats - general information
Adjusting the front seats:
Passengers's seat: The passenger's seat can only be adjusted if the ignition key is in position I or II (see page 48
).
Driver's seat: The driver's seat can be adjusted if the ignition key is in position I or II (see page 48
). However, it can
also be adjusted:
· Within 40 seconds after the ignition has been switched off (even if the key has been removed from the ignition
switch).
· Within 40 seconds after the driver's door has been unlocked with the key or remote control and opened. The key
does not have to be in the ignition switch during this period.
Remote keyless entry system and driver's seat
The remote control transmitter also controls the electrically operated driver's seat in the following way:
Adjust the seat to your preferences.
When you leave your car, lock it using the remote control
The next time you unlock the driver's door with the same remote control (the one you used to lock the doors with)
and open the driver's door , the driver's seat will automatically move to the position in which you left it.
The seat will move to this position even if someone else has adjusted them since you last drove the car.
NOTE:
This feature will work in the same way with all of the remote control transmitters (up to 3) that you use with your
car.
This feature will not function if you lock your car with the key.
Folding passenger's seat backrest
The passenger seat backrest can be folded down to the horizontal position for carrying long loads. To fold down the
backrest:
· Move the seat as far rearward as possible
· Adjust the backrest tilt to the most upright position
· Lift the catches on the lower rear side of the backrest
· Without releasing the catches, push the backrest forward
· Move the seat as far forward as possible
WARNING!
Cover sharp edges on the load to help prevent injury to occupants. Secure the load to help prevent shifting during
sudden stops.
ProCarManuals.com

· Pull the release control handle(s) in the trunk to release the backrest(s) (see illustration above). If the outboard rear
head restraints are folded down, they should be returned to the upright position before folding the backrest down. It
may be necessary to manually adjust the center head restraint.
· Fold the backrest down.WARNING!
All S80 cars feature 60/40 split fold-down rear seats. This function is performed by handles inside the trunk, and
also provides a means for children and adults to enter the passenger compartment in the event they become locked
inside the trunk. Adults are advised to familiarize them-selves with the operation and location of the release handles.
To fold down the rear seats from inside the trunk, pull the release control handles located on either side of the trunk.
WARNING!
· Keep vehicle doors and the luggage compartment locked and keep keys out of a child's reach. Unsupervised
children could lock themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.
· On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people to these high
temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are particularly at
risk.
WARNING!
· When the backrest is returned to the upright position, check that it is properly locked in place. Return the head
restraints to the upright position.
· Long loads should always be securely anchored to help avoid injury in the event of a sudden stop.
· Always turn the engine off and apply the parking brake when loading/unloading the vehicle.
· Place the transmission in the P (PARK) position to help prevent inadvertent movement of the gear selector.
