The seat belt should always be worn during pregnancy. But it is crucial \
that it be worn in the correct way.
The diagonal section should wrap over the shoulder then be routed betwee\
n the breasts and to the side of
the belly. The lap section should lay flat over the thighs and as low as\
possible under the belly. It must
never be allowed to ride upward. Remove all slack from the belt and insu\
re that it fits close to the body
without any twists.
As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers should adjust their seats an\
d steering wheel such that they
can easily maintain control of the vehicle as they drive (which means t\
hey
16 01 Safety
Seat belts
must be able to easily operate the foot pedals and steering wheel). Wit\
hin this context, they should strive
to position the seat with as large a distance as possible between their \
belly and the steering wheel.

1Volvo recommends that children always be properly restrained in appropri\
ate child restraints in the rear seats. In
rare situations when the seat belt is not properly fastened, some child \
restraints may not be detected by the OWS
because there is very little weight on the vehicle seat cushion. In thes\
e cases the passenger's side front airbag may
be disabled, but the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will not be lit\
. Do not assume that the passenger's
side front airbag is disabled unless the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator \
lamp is lit. Make sure the child
restraint is properly installed (turn the vehicle off, remove the child\
restraint from the vehicle and reinstall the
restraint following the child restraint manufacturer's instructions) an\
d that the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF
indicator lamp is on, or move the child restraint to the rear seat.
The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate) the passenger's side front\
airbag anytime the system senses
that a person of adult size is sitting properly in the front passenger's\
seat. The PASSENGER AIRBAG
OFF indicator lamp will be off and remain off.
If a person of adult size is sitting in the front passenger's seat, but \
the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF
indicator lamp is on, it is possible that the person isn't sitting prope\
rly in the seat. If this happens:
l Turn the vehicle off and ask the person to place the seatback in an upri\
ght position.
l Have the person sit upright in the seat, centered on the seat cushion, w\
ith the person's legs comfortably
extended.
l Restart the vehicle and have the person remain in this position for abou\
t two minutes. This will allow
the system to detect that person and enable the passenger's frontal airb\
ag.
l If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp remains on even after this, t\
he person should be
advised to ride in the rear seat.
This condition reflects limitations of the OWS classification capability\
. It does not indicate OWS
malfunction.

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.

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.
