•Never use a seat belt for more than one
occupant.
•Never wear the shoulder portion of the
belt under the arm, behind the back or
otherwise out of position. Such use could
cause injury in the event of an accident.
•Seat belts lose much of their strength
when exposed to violent stretching and
should be replaced after any collision,
even if they appear to be undamaged.
•Never repair the belt yourself; have this
work done by an authorized Volvo service
technician only.
•Any device used to induce slack into the
shoulder belt portion of the three-point
belt system will have a detrimental effect
on the amount of protection available to
you in the event of a collision.
•The seat back should not be tilted too far
back. The shoulder belt must be taut in
order to function properly.
•Do not use child safety seats or child
booster cushions/backrests in the front
passenger’s seat. We also recommend that
children who have outgrown these devices
sit in the rear seat with the seat belt
properly fastened.

•Do not use child safety seats or child
booster cushions/backrests in the front
passenger’s seat. We also recommend that
occupants under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm)
in height who have outgrown these
devices sit in the rear seat with the seat
belt fastened
1.
•Never drive with the airbags deployed.
The fact that they hang out can impair the
steering of your vehicle. Other safety
systems can also be damaged.
•The smoke and dust formed when the
airbags are deployed can cause skin and
eye irritation in the event of prolonged
exposure.

Location of the side impact (SIPS) airbag

•The SIPS airbag system is a supplement
to the structural Side Impact Protection
System and the three-point seat belt
system. It is not designed to deploy during
collisions from the front or rear of the car
or in rollover situations.
•The use of seat covers on the front seats
may impede SIPS airbag deployment.
•No objects, accessory equipment or
stickers may be placed on, attached to or
installed near the SIPS airbag system or in
the area affected by SIPS airbag deploy-
ment.
•Never try to open or repair any compo-
nents of the SIPS airbag system. This
should be done only by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.
•In order for the SIPS airbag to provide its
best protection, both front seat occupants
should sit in an upright position with the
seat belt properly fastened.
•Failure to follow these instructions can
result in injury to the occupants of the
vehicle in the event of an accident.

13
Volvo Inflatable Curtain (VIC)
WARNING!
•The VIC system is a supplement to the Side Impact Protection
System. It is not designed to deploy during collisions from the front
or rear of the car or in rollover situations.
•Never try to open or repair any components of the VIC system.
This should be done only by a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician.
•In order for the VIC to provide its best protection, both front seat
occupants and both outboard rear seat occupants should sit in an
upright position with the seat belt properly fastened; adults using
the seat belt and children using the proper child restraint system.
Only adults should sit in the front seats. Children must never be
allowed in the front passenger seat. See page 21 for guidelines.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the
vehicle occupants in an accident.
Volvo Inflatable Curtain (VIC)
This system consists of inflatable curtains located along the sides of the
roof liners, stretching from the center of both front side windows to the
rear edge of the rear side door windows. It is designed to help protect the
heads of the occupants of the front seats and the occupant of the
outboard rear seating positions in certain side impact collisions.

WARNING!
•The WHIPS system is designed to supplement the other safety
systems in your car. For this system to function properly, the three-
point seat belt must be worn. Please be aware that no system can
prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.
•The WHIPS system is designed to function in certain collisions
from the rear, depending on the crash severity, angle and speed.
•Occupants in the front seats must never 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.
(contd. on following page)

16
Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS)
WARNING!
•Boxes, suitcases, etc. wedged behind the front seats could impede the
function of the WHIPS system.
•If the rear seat backrests are folded down, cargo must be secured to
prevent it from sliding forward against the front seat backrests in the event
of a collision from the rear. This could interfere with the action of the
WHIPS system.
•If your car has been involved in a rear-end collision, the front seat
backrests must be inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician, even if the seats appear to be undamaged. Certain components
in the WHIPS system may need to be replaced.
•Do not attempt to service any component in the WHIPS system yourself.
•Any contact between the front seat backrests and the folded rear seat could
impede the function of the WHIPS system. If the rear seat is folded down,
the occupied front seats must be adjusted forward so that they do not touch
the folded rear seat.

WARNING!
•Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in
the front passenger’s seat. We also recommend that children under 4
feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who have outgrown these devices
sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened.
•On hot days, the temperature in the vehicle interior can rise very
quickly. Exposure to these high temperatures for even a short period
of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are
particularly at risk.

•Child restraint anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used for adult
seat belts or harnesses. The anchorages are
not able to withstand excessive forces on
them in the event of collision if full
harness seat belts or adult seat belts are
installed to them. An adult who uses a belt
anchored in a child restraint anchorage
runs a great risk of suffering severe
injuries should a collision occur.
•Do not install rear speakers that require
the removal of the top tether anchors or
interfere with the proper use of the top
tether strap.
•Top tether straps should be routed beneath
the head restraints.
ISOFIX/LATCH anchors
Lower anchors for ISOFIX-equipped child
seats are located in the rear, outboard seats,
hidden below the backrest cushions.
Symbols on the seat back upholstery mark the
anchor positions as shown.
To access the anchors, kneel on the seat
cushion and locate the anchors by feel.
Always follow your child seat manufacturer's
installation instructions, and use both ISOFIX
lower anchors and top tethers whenever
possible.
