Extending the lap belt
To buckle a seat belt:
Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle until a distinct click is heard. The seat belt
retractor is normally "unlocked" and you can move freely, provided that the shoulder belt is not pulled out too far. The
retractor will lock up as follows:
if the belt is pulled out rapidly
during braking and acceleration
if the vehicle is leaning excessively
when driving in turns
For the seat belt to provide maximum protection in the event of an accident, it must be worn correctly. When wearing
the seat belt remember:
The belt should not be twisted or turned.
The lap belt must be positioned low on the hips (not pressing against the abdomen).
Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled up into its retractor and that the shoulder and lap belts are taut.
Before exiting the car, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled.
If necessary, guide the belt back into the retractor slot.
Child seats:
Please refer to page 19
for information on securing child seats with the seat belts.
pg. 3 Safety
During pregnancy
Pregnant women should always wear seat belts. Remember that the belt should always be positioned in such a way as
to avoid any possible pressure on the abdomen. The lap portion of the belt should be located low, as shown in the
above illustration.

1. Within 40 seconds of the ignition key being turned to position 0 or removed from the ignition switch.
2. After you have unlocked the driver's door with the key or remote control, the driver's seat can be adjusted during a
10 minute period if the door remains open. If the door is closed, the seat can be adjusted for 40 seconds. The ignition
key can be in position 0 or not yet inserted in the ignition switch.
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 it since you last unlocked the car with the same
remote control.
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.
Power seat control panel
Seat adjustment
If your Volvo is equipped with power seats, the following may be adjusted with the two switches at the side of the
seat:
A - Front edge of seat (raise/lower)
B - Front-rear
C - Rear edge of seat (raise/lower)
D - Backrest tilt
NOTE! The power seats have an overload protector that activates if a seat is blocked by any object. If this occurs,
switch off the ignition (key in position 0) and wait about 20 seconds before operating the seat again.
Please refer to the following page for information on programming the memory function in the driver's seat.
Emergency stop
If the seat accidentally begins to move, press one of the buttons to stop the seat.

Keys and remote controls
Keys
Two keys are provided with your car; a master key and a service (valet) key. The master key, the remote control, and
the central locking button may all be used to lock and unlock all of your car's locks.
The service key will operate only the driver's door and the ignition switch. It is intended to help deter unwanted entry
into the glove compartment and trunk.
Turn the key once to unlock the driver's door only.
Turn the key again (within 10 seconds) to unlock all doors and the trunk.
One turn with the key towards lock in the drivers door locks all doors, trunk.
ProCarManuals.com
Use the switch on the driver's door armrest to lock/unlock the car from the inside.
WARNING!
If the doors are locked while driving, this may hinder rapid access to the 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 locking system is designed to unlock the
doors immediately if the key is left in the ignition switch, the car is locked using the lock button on the door and the
door is then closed. A sound from the lock will be audible at this time.
Please note that this function will not unlock the doors if the engine is running.
Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
Each of the keys supplied with your car contains a coded transmitter. The code in the key is transmitted to an antenna
in the ignition switch where it is compared to the code stored 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.
NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following condition: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
pg. 69 Locks and alarm
Remote controls
Your car is equipped with two coded remote control transmitters with integrated ignition keys called Key Integrated
Remote (KIR). These transmitters use a radio frequency that will enable you to lock/unlock all doors and the trunk
from a distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters). The transmitters will also activate or allow "keyless" entry into the
passenger compartment or the trunk. They will also activate or deactivate your car's alarm system(s). The car can also
be locked/unlocked with the key.
If one of the transmitters is misplaced, contact your nearest authorized Volvo retailer for replacement.

Opening the trunk from the inside
Opening the trunk from the inside (U.S. models only)
The S60 is equipped with a florescent handle on the inside of the trunk lid, which can be used in an emergency
situation to open the trunk from the inside. Pull the handle down to release the trunk lid. After use, the handle must
be pushed back into its original position before the trunk can be closed.
This handle is not intended to be used to anchor the trunk lid when long loads are being transported.
WARNING!
Keep vehicle doors and trunk 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.
