1. Remove the ignition key.
2. Reinsert the key in the ignition switch. The vehicle will then attemp\
t to reset CRASH MODE to normal
mode.
3. Try to start the vehicle.
Moving the vehicle
If the electrical system is able to reset system status to normal (CRAS\
H MODE SEE MANUAL will no
longer be displayed), the vehicle may be moved carefully from its prese\
nt position, if for example, it is
blocking traffic. It should, however, not be moved farther than is absol\
utely necessary.
WARNING
Even if the vehicle appears to be drivable after CRASH MODE has been set\
, it should not be driven or
towed (pulled by another vehicle). There may be concealed damage that \
could make it difficult or
impossible to control. The vehicle should be transported on a flatbed to\
w truck to a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician for inspection/ repairs.
30 01 Safety
Child safety
Children should be seated safely
Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint systems for all occupants i\
ncluding children. Remember
that, regardless of age and size, a child should always be properly rest\
rained in a car.
Your car is also equipped with ISOFIX/ LATCH attachments, which make it \
more convenient to install
child seats.
Some restraint systems for children are designed to be secured in the ve\
hicle by lap belts or the lap
portion of a lap-shoulder belt. Such child restraint systems can help pr\
otect children in cars in the event of
an accident only if they are used properly. However, children could be e\
ndangered in a crash if the child
restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle. Failure to follow th\
e installation instructions for your
child restraint can result in your child striking the vehicle's interior\
in a sudden stop.
Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable substitute for a child re\
straint system. In an accident, a
child held in a person's arms can be crushed between the vehicle's inter\
ior and an unrestrained person. The
child could also be injured by striking the interior, or by being ejecte\
d from the vehicle during a sudden
maneuver or impact. The same can also happen if the infant or child ride\
s unrestrained on the seat. Other
occupants should also be properly restrained to help reduce the chance o\
f injuring or increasing the injury
of a child.

33 01 Safety
Child restraint systems
Child restraints
There are three main types of child restraint systems: infant seats, con\
vertible seats, and booster cushions.
They are classified according to the child's age and size.
The following section provides general information on securing a child restraint using a three-point seat
belt. Refer to
page 40 for information on securing a child restraint using ISOFIX lower anchor\
s.

34 01 Safety
Child restraint systems
WARNING
l When not in use, keep the child restraint system secured or remove it fr\
om the passenger
compartment to help prevent it from injuring passengers in the event of \
a sudden stop or collision.
l A small child's head represents a considerable part of its total weight \
and its neck is still very weak.
Volvo recommends that children up to age 4 travel, properly restrained, \
facing rearward. In addition,
Volvo recommends that children should ride rearward facing, properly res\
trained, as long as possible.

ISOFIX lower anchors

To access the anchors:
1. Put the child restraint in position.
2. Kneel on the child restraint to press down the seat cushion and locat\
e the anchors by feel.

4. Firmly tension the lower child seat straps according to the manufactu\
rer's instructions.
NOTE
Always follow your child seat manufacturer's installation instructions, \
and use both ISOFIX lower
anchors and top tethers whenever possible.
WARNING
l Be sure to fasten the attachment correctly to the anchor (see the illus\
tration above). If the attachment
is not correctly fastened, the child restraint may not be properly secur\
ed in the event of a collision.
l The ISOFIX lower child restraint anchors are only intended for use with \
child seats positioned in the
left or right seating positions.
l Child seats should never be placed in the center of the rear seat. This \
area is not intended to be seating
