•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 passenger-side front airbag. See page 21
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.
dashboard covers, may be placed on,
attached to, or installed near the air bag
hatch (the area above the glove compart-
ment) or the area affected by airbag
deployment (see the illustration on page
6).
•There should be no loose articles, e.g.
coffee cups, on the floor, seat, or dash-
board area.
•Never try to open the airbag cover on the
steering wheel or the passenger’s side
dashboard. This should only be done by a
trained and qualified Volvo service
technician.

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.

Trip computer controls and functions
The four* trip computer functions can be accessed by twisting control B
one step at a time in either direction. Twisting the control a fifth time**
returns you to the original function.The trip computer can be reset (current data will be erased from system
memory) by pressing RESET (button C).
1. Driving distance on current fuel reserve
This function shows the approximate distance that can be driven on the
fuel remaining in the tank. This calculation is based on average fuel
consumption during the last 12 miles (20 km) of driving and the amount
of fuel remaining in the tank when the reading was taken.
When the driving distance on current fuel reserve is less than 12 miles
(20 km), “----” will be displayed in the text window.
2. Average fuel consumption
This value indicates fuel consumption since the last time the trip
computer was reset (by pressing RESET, button C). When the engine is
switched off, information on fuel consumption is stored and remains in
system memory until the RESET (button C) is pressed again.
3. Current fuel consumption
This value indicates the current fuel consumption, based on readings
taken once per second. When the car is not moving, “----” will be
displayed.
4. Average speed
This value indicates average speed since the last time the trip computer
was reset (by pressing RESET, button C). When the engine is switched
off, information on average speed is stored and remains in system
memory until the RESET (button C) is pressed again.
5. Current speed in miles per hour (Canadian models only)
This function provides the driver with an instantaneous conversion of the
car’s current speed from km/h to mph.
