2005 VOLVO S60 child lock

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 23
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.

Safety system warning light in the instrument panel
A self -diagnostic system incorporated in the sensor monitors certain safety system components. A check is performed
on components such as seat belt locks, SRS, SIPS, and/or the VIC system. If a fault is detected, the warning light will
illuminate. The light is included in the warning/indicator light cluster in the instrument panel. Normally, the safety
system warning lamp should light up when the ignition key is turned to positions I, II or III and should go out after
approximately 7 seconds or when the engine is started. Check that this light is functioning properly every time the
vehicle is started.
WARNING!
If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it comes on while you are driving, drive the car to
the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for inspection as soon as possible.
pg. 7 Safety
WARNING!
Children must never be allowed in the front passenger's seat. Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and
children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seat of any vehicle with a front passenger -side
airbag. See page 23
for guidelines.
Occupants in the front passenger's seat must never sit on the edge of the seat, sit leaning toward the instrument panel
or otherwise sit out of position. The occupant's back must be as upright as comfort allows and be against the seat
back with the seat belt properly fastened.
Feet must be on the floor, e.g. not on the dash, seat or out of the window.
No objects or accessory equipment, e.g. dash covers, may be placed on, attached to, or installed near the SRS hatch
(the area above the glove compartment) or the area affected by airbag deployment (see illustration on page 4 and 5
).
There should be no loose articles, e.g. coffee cups, on the floor, seat or dash area.
Never try to open the SRS cover on the steering wheel or the passenger side dash. This should only be done by an
authorized Volvo service technician.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants

Keys and remote controls
Keys
Two types of keys are provided with your car; master keys 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.
ProCarManuals.com

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.
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. 75 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.
