Seat belt use during pregnancy
The seat belt should always be worn during pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in the correct way. The diagonal
section should wrap over the shoulder then be routed between the breasts and to the side of the belly. The lap section
should lay flat over the thighs and as low as possible under the belly. It must never be allowed to ride upward. Remove
all slack from the belt and insure that it fits close to the body without any twists.
As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers should adjust their seats and steering wheel such that they can easily
maintain control of the vehicle as they drive (which means they must be able to easily operate the foot pedals and
steering wheel). Within this context, they should strive to position the seat with as large a distance as possible between
their belly and the steering wheel.
Child seats
Please refer to page 31
for information on securing child seats with the seat belts.

Seat belt reminder light in ceiling console
Seat belt reminder
The seat belt reminder consists of an audible signal, an indicator light above the rearview mirror, and a symbol in the
instrument panel (see page 37
) that alert the driver and front seat passenger if their seat belts are not fastened.
NOTE: The function is active for a total of 6 minutes from the time the ignition is switched on.
During the first minute:
The seat belt reminder function only reacts if the driver has not fastened his/her seat belt.
The indicator light above the mirror and the symbol in the instrument panel will light up and stay lit until the seat
belt has been fastened.
A chime will sound for 6 seconds. The frequency of the chiming increases with the speed of the car.
After one minute has elapsed:

The seat belt reminder reacts if the driver and/or the front seat passenger have not fastened their seat belts.
The indicator light above the mirror and the symbol in the instrument panel will light up and stay lit until the seat
belt(s) have been fastened, or until the remaining 5 minutes of the 6-minute cycle have elapsed.
The chime will sound for 6 seconds, at 30-second intervals. The frequency of the chiming increases with the speed
of the car.
After 6 minutes, the chime will no longer sound and the indicator lights will go out.
Seat belt maintenance
Check periodically that the seat belts are in good condition. Use water and a mild detergent for cleaning. Check seat
belt mechanism function as follows: attach the seat belt and pull rapidly on the strap.
pg. 14 Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
Supplemental Restraint System
As an enhancement to the three-point seat belts, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
Volvo's SRS consists of seat belt tensioners, front airbags, side impact airbags, the occupant weight sensor, and
inflatable curtains. All of these systems are monitored by the SRS control module. An SRS warning light in the
instrument panel (see the illustration above) illuminates when the ignition key is turned to position I, II, or III, and will
normally go out after approximately 7 seconds if no faults are detected in the system.
Where applicable, a text message will also be displayed when the SRS warning light illuminates.
If this warning symbol is not functioning properly, the general warning symbol
illuminates and a text message
will be displayed.
WARNING!
If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it illuminates while you are driving, have the
vehicle inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible.
Never try to repair any component or part of the SRS yourself. Any interference in the system could cause
malfunction and serious injury. All work on these systems should be performed by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician.
WARNING!
If your vehicle has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/ standing water on the floor of the
vehicle) or if your vehicle has become flood damaged in any way, do not attempt to start the vehicle or put the key
in the ignition before disconnecting the battery (see below). This may cause airbag deployment which could result in
personal injury. Have the vehicle towed to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for repairs.

6. Fuel level warning light
When this light comes on, there are approximately 2.1 US gallons (8 liters) of fuel remaining in the tank.
pg. 37 Symbols on the right side of the instrument panel
Symbols - right side of instrument panel
1. Turn signal indicator for trailer (certain models)
If you are towing a trailer, this light will flash simultaneously with the turn signals on the trailer. If the light
does not flash when signaling, one of the turn signals on the trailer or on the car are not functioning properly.
2. Parking brake applied
This light is on when the parking brake (hand brake) is applied. The parking brake lever is situated between
the front seats.
Canadian models are equipped with this symbol
.
3. SRS warning light
If this light comes on while the car is being driven, or remains on for longer than approximately 10 seconds
after the car has been started, the SRS system's diagnostic functions have detected a fault in a seat belt lock or
tensioner, a front airbag, side impact airbag, and/or an inflatable curtain. Have the system(s) inspected by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible.
4. Oil pressure warning light
If the light comes on while driving, stop the car, stop the engine immediately, and check the engine oil level.
If the oil level is normal and the light stays on after restart, have the car towed to the nearest trained and qualified
Volvo service technician. After hard driving, the light may come on occasionally when the engine is idling. This is
normal, provided it goes off when the engine speed is increased.

Manual climate system functions
1. Blower speed
The blower speed can be increased or decreased by turning the knob. If the knob is turned
counterclockwise and the indicator light in the display goes out, the blower and the air conditioning are switched off.
The display shows the blower symbol and OFF.
2. Recirculation
This function can be used to shut out exhaust fumes, smoke, etc from the passenger compartment. The
air in the passenger compartment is then recirculated, i.e. no air from outside the car is taken into the car when this
function is activated. Recirculation (together with the air conditioning system) cools the passenger compartment more
quickly in very warm weather. If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of condensation forming on
the insides of the windows, especially in winter.
Timer
The timer function minimizes the risk of misting, or stale air when the recirculation function is selected. See page 57
for information on setting the recirculation timer. Recirculation is always disengaged when you select Defroster (3).
3. Defroster
Directs airflow to the windshield and side windows and increases blower speed.
Air flows to the windows at high blower speed.
The LED in the defroster button lights up when this function is activated. The air conditioning system is controlled
to provide maximum air dehumidification.

pg. 65 Manual climate control
4. Airflow controls
Press one of the three buttons in the illustration to activate the selected airflow. A symbol in the display
above the climate control panel and a lit LED in the selected button indicate that the manual function has been
selected. With manually selected airflow both warm and cool air can be selected. The desired temperature is selected
using control 9.
5. A/C - On or Off
The air conditioning system is engaged when the ON LED is lit. The system is disengaged when the OFF
lights up. If Defroster (3) is activated the air conditioning is always engaged.
6/7. Heated front seats (option)

of the car.
