2006 VOLVO S80 center console

never be wrapped around an object on the front passenger's seat. This could interfere with the OWS system's
function. The front passenger's seat belt should never be used in a way that exerts more pressure on the passenger
than normal. This could increase the pressure exerted on the weight sensor by a child, and could result in the airbag
being enabled, which might cause it to deploy in the event of a collision, thereby injuring the child.
WARNING!
Never try to open, remove, or repair any components in the OWS system. This could result in system malfunction.
Maintenance or repairs should only be carried out by an authorized Volvo service technician. 'The front passenger's
seat should not be modified in any way. This could reduce pressure on the seat cushion, which might interfere with
the OWS system's function.
pg. 11 Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS)
WARNING!
Keep the following points in mind with respect to the OWS system. Failure to follow these instructions could
adversely affect the system's function and result in serious injury to the occupant of the front passenger's seat:
The full weight of the front seat passenger should always be on the seat cushion. The passenger should never lift
him/ herself off the seat cushion using the armrest in the door or the center console, by pressing the feet on the floor,
by sitting on the edge of the seat cushion, or by pressing against the backrest in a way that reduces pressure on the
seat cushion. This could cause OWS to disable the front passenger's side airbag.
Do not place any type of object on the front passenger's seat in such a way that jamming, pressing, or squeezing
occurs between the object and the front seat, other than as a direct result of the correct use of the ALR/ELR seat belt
(see page 21
).
No objects should be placed under the front passenger's seat. This could interfere with the OWS system's function.
