14 01 Safety
Seat belts
Using seat belts
Volvo, the inventor of the three-point seat belt, urges you and all occu\
pants of your vehicle to wear seat
belts and ensure that children are properly restrained, using an infant,\
car, or booster seat determined by
age, weight and height.
Volvo also believes no child should sit in the front seat of a vehicle.
Most states and provinces make it mandatory for occupants of a vehicle t\
o use seat belts.
Seat belt tensioners
The front and rear outboard seat belts are equipped with tensioners that\
reduce slack in the belts. These
tensioners are triggered in situations where the airbags deploy. The fro\
nt seat belts also include a tension
reducing device which, in the event of a collision, limits the peak forc\
es exerted by the seat belt on the
occupant.
Buckling a seat belt
Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptac\
le until a distinct click is heard. The
seat belt retractor is normally "unlocked" and you can move freely, prov\
ided that the shoulder belt is not
pulled out too far.

WARNING
l 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.
l Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can i\
mpair the steering of your
vehicle. Other safety systems can also be damaged.
l The smoke and dust formed when the airbags are deployed can cause skin a\
nd eye irritation in the
event of prolonged exposure.

All states and provinces have legislation governing how and where childr\
en should be carried in a car.
Find out the regulations existing in your state or province. Recent acci\
dent statistics have shown that
children are safer in rear seating positions than front seating position\
s when properly restrained. A child
restraint system can help protect a child in a vehicle. Here's what to l\
ook for when selecting a child
restraint system:
l It should have a label certifying that it meets applicable Federal Motor\
Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS 213) - or in Canada, CMVSS 213.
l Make sure the child restraint system is approved for the child's height,\
weight and development - the
label required by the standard or regulation, or instructions for infant\
restraints, typically provide this
information.
l In using any child restraint system, we urge you to carefully look over \
the instructions that are provided
with the restraint. Be sure you understand them and can use the device p\
roperly and safely in this vehicle.
A misused child restraint system can result in increased injuries for bo\
th the infant or child and other
occupants in the vehicle.
When a child has outgrown the child safety seat, you should use the rear\
seat with the standard seat belt
fastened. The best way to help protect the child here is to place the ch\
ild on a cushion so that the seat belt
is properly located on the hips (see the illustration on
page 39). Legislation in your state or province may
mandate the use of a child seat or cushion in combination with the seat \
belt, depending on the child's age
and/or size. Please check local regulations.
A specially designed and tested booster cushion (not available in Canad\
a) can be obtained from your
Volvo retailer for children weighing 33 - 80 lb. (15 - 36 kg) and 38-5\
4 inches (97 - 137 cm) in height.
31 01 Safety
Child safety
WARNING
l 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 h\
ave outgrown these devices sit
in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened.
l Keep vehicle doors and trunk locked and keep keys out of a child's reach\
. Unsupervised children
could lock themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should \
be taught not to play in
vehicles.
l On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can rise v\
ery 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.

Federal law mandates that tire manufacturers place standardized informat\
ion on the sidewall of all tires
(see the illustration).
The following information is listed on the tire sidewall:
The tire designation (the following figures are examples of a tire desi\
gnation):
1. 215: the width of the tire (in millimeters) from sidewall edge to sidewal\
l edge. The larger the number,
the wider the tire.
2. 65: The ratio of the tire's height to its width.
3. R: Radial tire.
4. 15: The diameter of the wheel rim (in inches).
5. 95: The tire's load index. In this example, a load index of 95 equals a ma\
ximum load of 1521 lbs (690
kg).
6. H: The tire's speed rating, or the maximum speed at which the tire is des\
igned to be driven for extended
periods of time, carrying a permissible load for the vehicle, and with c\
orrect inflation pressure. For
example, H indicates a speed rating of 130 mph (210 km/h).
NOTE
This information may not appear on the tire because it is not required b\
y
law.
7. M+S or M/S = Mud and Snow, AT = All Terrain, AS = All Season
8. U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number (TIN): This begins with the letters "DOT" and indicates that
the tire meets all federal standards. The next two numbers or letters ar\
e the plant code where it was
manufactured, the next two are the tire size code and the last four numb\
ers represent the week and year
the tire was built. For example, the numbers 317 mean the 31st week of 1\
997. After 2000 the numbers go
to four digits. For example, 2501 means the 25th week of 2001. The numbe\
rs in between are marketing
codes used at the manufacturer's discretion. This information helps a ti\
re manufacturer identify a tire for
safety recall purposes.
9. Tire Ply Composition and Material Used: Indicates the number of plies indicates or the number of
layers of rubber-coated fabric in the tire tread and sidewall. Tire manu\
facturers also must indicate the ply
materials in the tire and the sidewall, which include steel, nylon, poly\
ester, and others.
