7 Introduction
Volvo and the environment
Volvo is committed to the well being of its customers. As a natural part\
of this commitment, we care about the environment in which we
all live. Caring for the environment means an everyday involvement in re\
ducing our environmental impact. Volvo's environmental
activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider the ove\
rall environmental impact of a product throughout its complete
life cycle. In this context, design, production, product use, and recycl\
ing are all important considerations. In production, Volvo has partly
or completely phased out several chemicals including CFCs, lead chromate\
s, asbestos, and cadmium; and reduced the number of
chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991.
Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-wa\
y catalytic converter with a Lambda sond, now called the heated
oxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version of this highly efficient sys\
tem reduces emissions of harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from
the exhaust pipe by approximately 95-99% and the search to eliminate the\
remaining emissions continues. Volvo is the only automobile
manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning sy\
stem of all models as far back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced
electronic engine controls and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to o\
ur goal. After Volvo vehicles and parts have fulfilled their use,
recycling is the next critical step in completing the life cycle. The me\
tal content is about 75% of the total weight of a vehicle, which makes
the vehicle among the most recycled industrial products. In order to hav\
e efficient and well controlled recycling, all Volvo variants have
printed dismantling manuals, indicating the weight and material of indiv\
idual components. For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts
weighing more than 3.4 oz. (100 grams) are marked with international s\
ymbols that indicate how the component is to be sorted for
recycling. In addition to continuous environmental refinement of convent\
ional gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, Volvo is
actively looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles.
When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner in the work to lessen the\
car's impact on the environment. To reduce your vehicle's
environmental impact, you can:
l Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased f\
uel economy with improperly inflated tires.
l Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your Warranty and Service\
Records Information booklet.
l Drive at a constant speed whenever possible.
l See a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible\
for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indicator) light
illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started.
l Properly dispose of any vehicle-related waste such as used motor oil, us\
ed batteries, brake pads, etc.
l When cleaning your vehicle, please use genuine Volvo car care products. \
All Volvo car care products are formulated to be
environmentally friendly.

Check seat belt mechanism function as follows: attach the seat belt and \
pull rapidly on the strap.
17 01 Safety
Supplemental Restraint System
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
As an enhancement to the three-point seat belts, your Volvo is equipped \
with a Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS). Volvo's SRS consists of seat belt tensioners, front airb\
ags, side impact airbags, the
occupant weight sensor, and inflatable curtains. All of these systems ar\
e monitored by the SRS control
module. An SRS warning light in the instrument panel (see the illustrat\
ion above) illuminates when the
ignition key is turned to position I, II, or III, and will normally go o\
ut after approximately 7 seconds if no
faults are detected in the system.
Where applicable, a text message will also be displayed when the SRS war\
ning light illuminates. If this
warning symbol is not functioning properly, the general warning symbol
illuminates and either SRS
AIRBAG SERVICE URGENT or SRS AIRBAG SERVICE REQUIRED will be displayed.
WARNING
l If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it \
illuminates while you are driving,
have the vehicle inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service tech\
nician as soon as possible.
l Never try to repair any component or part of the SRS yourself. Any inter\
ference in the system could
cause malfunction and serious injury. All work on these systems should b\
e performed by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.

Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than\
4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be
seated in the rear seat of any vehicle with a passenger's side front air\
bag, and be properly restrained.
Children should always be seated in child restraints appropriate for the\
ir size and weight. See also the
child safety recommendations beginning on
page 30.
The Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) is designed to meet the regulatory re\
quirements of Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208 and is designed to disable (will \
not inflate) the passenger's side
front airbag under certain conditions.
The OWS works with sensors that are part of the front passenger's seat a\
nd seat belt. The sensors are
designed to detect the presence of a properly seated occupant and determ\
ine if the passenger's side front
airbag should be enabled (may inflate) or disabled (will not inflate)\
.
The OWS will disable (will not inflate) the passenger's side front air\
bag when:
l the front passenger's seat is unoccupied, or has small/medium objects in\
the front seat,
l the system determines that an infant is present in a rear-facing infant \
seat that is installed according to
the manufacturer's instructions,
l the system determines that a small child is present in a forward-facing \
child restraint that is installed
according to the manufacturer's instructions,
l the system determines that a small child is present in a booster seat,
l a front passenger takes his/her weight off of the seat for a period of t\
ime,
l a child or a small person occupies the front passenger's seat.
The OWS uses a PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp which will illuminate\
and stay on to
remind you that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled. The PASSE\
NGER AIRBAG OFF indicator
lamp is located in the overhead console, near the base of the rearview m\
irror.
NOTE
The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will illuminate for a short peri\
od of time when the
ignition is turned on to confirm it is functional. When the front passen\
ger's seat is not occupied (empty
seat) or in the event that the passenger's side front airbag is enabled\
(may inflate), the PASSENGER
AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will be off.
However, if a fault is detected in the system:
l The OWS indicator light will stay on
l The SRS warning light (see page 17) will come on and stay on
The message PASS. AIRBAG OFF SERVICE URGENT will be displayed in the inf\
ormation display.

In order for the DMIC to provide its best protection, both front seat oc\
cupants should sit in an upright
position with the seat belt properly fastened; adults using the seat bel\
t and children using the proper
child restraint system. Only adults should sit in the front seats. Child\
ren must never be allowed in the
front passenger seat. See
page 32 for guidelines. Failure to follow these instructions can result in inju\
ry
to the vehicle occupants in an accident.
26 01 Safety
Whiplash Protection System
Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) - front seats only
The WHIPS system consists of specially designed hinges and brackets on t\
he front seat backrests
designed to help absorb some of the energy generated in a collision from\
the rear (when the vehicle is
"rear-ended").
In the event of a collision of this type, the hinges and brackets of the\
front seat backrests are designed to
change position slightly to allow the backrest/head restraint to help su\
pport the occupant's head before
moving slightly rearward. This movement helps absorb some of the forces \
that could result in whiplash.
WARNING
l The WHIPS system is designed to supplement the other safety systems in y\
our car. For this system to
function properly, the three-point seat belt must be worn. Please be awa\
re that no system can prevent all
possible injuries that may occur in an accident.
l The WHIPS system is designed to function in certain collisions from the \
rear, depending on the crash
severity, angle and speed.
