Chapter 1 - Safety


pg. 1 Safety

Not wearing a seat belt is like believing "It'll never happen to me!" Vo\
lvo, the inventor of the three-point
seat belt, urges you and all adult occupants of your car to wear seat be\
lts 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.
Fact: In every state and province, some type of child-restraint legislation h\
as been passed. Additionally,
most states and provinces have already made it mandatory for occupants o\
f a car to use seat belts.
So, urging you to "buckle up" is not just our recommendation - legislati\
on in your state or province may
mandate seat belt usage. The few seconds it takes to buckle up may one d\
ay allow you to say, "It's a
good thing I was wearing my seat belt."

The child should be properly seated on the booster cushion. The hip sect\
ion of the three-point seat belt
must fit snugly across the child's hips, not across the stomach. The sho\
ulder section of the three-point
seat belt should be positioned across the chest and shoulder (see illus\
tration). The shoulder belt must
never be placed behind the child's back or under the arm. WARNING!
l Failure to follow the manufacturer's instructions on the use of this chi\
ld restraint system can result
in your child striking the vehicle's interior during a sudden stop or cr\
ash.
l In the event of a collision while the integrated booster cushion was occ\
upied, the entire booster
cushion and seat belt must be replaced. The booster cushion should also \
be replaced if it is badly
worn or damaged in any way. This work should be performed by an authoriz\
ed Volvo retailer only.
The booster cushion should be cleaned while in place in the vehicle if p\
ossible. If not, please consult
your Volvo retailer.

pg. 14 Child safety
Keeping child seats in place (ALR/ELR*)
To make child seat installation easier, each seat belt (except for the \
driver's belt) is equipped with a
locking mechanism to help keep the seat belt taut.
When attaching the seat belt to a child seat:
l Attach the seat belt to the child seat according to the child seat manuf\
acturer's instructions.
l Pull the seat belt out as far as possible.
l Insert the seat belt latch plate into the buckle (lock) in the usual w\
ay.
l Release the seat belt and pull it taut around the child seat.
A sound from the seat belt retractor will be audible at this time and is\
normal.
The belt will now be locked in place.
This function is automatically disabled when the seat belt is unlocked a\
nd the belt is fully
retracted.
* Automatic Locking Retractor/Emergency Locking Retractor

n should never be left
unattended in the car.
l Movement of the seat can be STOPPED at any time by pressing any button o\
n the power seat

Programming the memory

Three seat positions can be programmed. To program a seat position:
1 Adjust the seat to the desired position.
2 Hold down the MEM button.
3 While holding down the MEM button, press button 1 to program the curren\
t position of the seat.
Buttons 2 and 3 can be programmed in the same way. To move the seat to a\
programmed position, press
and hold down button 1, 2 or 3 until the seat moves to the preset positi\
on and stops.
As a safety precaution, the seat will stop automatically if the button i\
s released before the seat has
reached the programmed position.
NOTE: The seat has an overload protector which engages if an object blocks the\
movement of the seat.
If this happens, remove the object and wait 20 seconds before operating \
the seat again.
* This option is only available on the driver's seat.

Two keys are provided with your car; a master key and a service key. The\
master key, the remote
control, and the central locking button may all be used to lock and unlo\
ck all of your car's locks.
The service key will operate only the driver's door and the ignition swi\
tch. It is intended to help deter
unwanted entry into the glove compartment and trunk.
Turn the key once to unlock the driver's door and the fuel filler door.
Turn the key again (within 10 seconds) to unlock all doors and the tailgate. One turn with the key
towards lock in the drivers door locks all doors and tailgate.

e inside. WARNING!
If the doors are locked while driving, this may hinder rapid access to t\
he occupants of the car in the
event of an accident. (Also see information on "Child safety locks"). \
NOTE: To help prevent accidentally locking the keys in the car, the central lo\
cking system is designed
to unlock the doors immediately if the key is left in the ignition switc\
h, the car is locked using the lock

ored in the start inhibitor module.
The car will start only with a properly coded key. If you misplace a key\
, take the other keys to an
authorized Volvo retailer for reprogramming as an antitheft measure.
*This key operates only driver's door and ignition switch/steering wheel\
lock.
