WARNING\b
Never repair the belt yourself; have this
work done by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician only.
\b Any device used to induce slack into the
shoulder belt portion of the three-point
belt system will have a detrimental
effect on the amount of protection avail-
able to you in the event of a collision.
\b The seat back should not be tilted too
far back. The shoulder belt must be taut
in order to function properly.
\b Do not use child safety seats or child
booster cushions/backrests in the front
passenger\fs seat. We also recommend
that children who have outgrown these
devices sit in the rear seat with the seat
belt properly fastened. Seat belt reminder
Seat belt reminder light in ceiling console
The seat belt reminder consists of an audible
signal, an indicator light near the rearview mir-
ror and a symbol in the instrument panel that
alert all occupants of the vehicle to fasten their
seat belts. The audible signal and warning light
will be on for a total of 6 seconds from the time
the ignition is switched on,
regardless of
whether or not the seat belts are fastened.
If the front seat belts are unbuckled while the
vehicle is in motion, the audible signal and
warning light will be active for a total of 6 sec-
onds.
Rear seatsThe seat belt reminder in the rear seat has two
additional functions: \b
It provides information about which seat
belts are fastened in the rear seat. A mes-
sage will appear in the information display
when a belt is being used. This message
will disappear after approximately 6 sec-
onds or can be erased by pressing the
READ button on the left steering wheel
lever.
\b It also provides a reminder if one of the
occupants of the rear seat has unbuckled
his/her seat belt while the vehicle is in
motion. A visual and audible signal will be
given. These signals will stop when the
seat belt has been re-buckled or can be
stopped by pressing the
READ button.
The message in the information display can
always be accessed, even if it has been erased,
by pressing the READ button to display stored
messages. G017726

01 Safety
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)01
}}
17
General information
Warning symbols in the instrument panel
As an enhancement to the three-point seat
belts, your Volvo is equipped with a Supple-
mental Restraint System (SRS). Volvo\fs SRS
consists of seat belt pretensioners, front air-
bags, side impact airbags, a front passenger
occupant weight sensor, and inflatable cur-
tains. All of these systems are monitored by the
SRS control module. An SRS warning light in
the instrument panel (see the illustration) illu-
minates when the ignition is in modes
I, II, or
III, and will normally go out after approximately
6 seconds if no faults are detected in the sys-
tem.
Where applicable, a text message will also be
displayed when the SRS warning light illumi-
nates. If this warning symbol is not functioning properly, the general warning symbol illumi-
nates and a text message will be displayed.
See page 74 for more information about indi-
cator and warning symbols.
WARNING
\b
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 technician as soon as
possible.
\b Never try to repair any component or
part of the SRS yourself. Any interfer-
ence in the system could cause mal-
function and serious injury. All work on
these systems should be performed by
a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician.
WARNING If your vehicle has been subjected to flood
conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/standing
water on the floor of the vehicle) or if your
vehicle has become flood-damaged in any
way, do not attempt to start the vehicle or
insert the remote control into the ignition
slot before disconnecting the battery (see
below). This may cause airbag deployment
which could result in personal injury. Have
the vehicle towed to a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician for repairs.
Automatic transmission:
Before attempting to tow the vehicle, use
the following procedure to override the
shiftlock system to move the gear selector
to the neutral position:
1. Switch off the ignition for at least
10 minutes and disconnect the battery
2. Wait at least one minute.
3. Insert the remote key into the ignition slot and press the Start button (without
depressing brake pedal) to go to ignition
mode II. See page 79 for more infor-
mation.
4. Press firmly on the brake pedal.
5. Move the gear selector from Park ( P) to
the Neutral (N) position. See page 110
for information on manually overriding
the shiftlock system. G022831

01 SafetyOccupant Weight Sensor 01
22 General information
Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) indicator light
Disabling the passenger\fs side front
airbag
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 front passenger side airbag, and
be properly restrained for their size and weight.
For child safety recommendations, see
page 34.
The Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) is
designed to meet the regulatory requirements
of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(FMVSS) 208 and is designed to disable (will
not inflate) the passenger\fs side front airbag
under certain conditions. The OWS works with sensors that are part of
the front passenger\fs seat and seat belt. The
sensors are designed to detect the presence of
a properly seated occupant and determine if
the passenger\fs side front airbag should be
enabled (may inflate) or disabled (will not
inflate).
The OWS will disable (will not inflate) the pas-
senger\fs side front airbag when:
\b
the front passenger\fs seat is unoccupied,
or has small/medium objects in the front
seat,
\b the system determines that an infant is
present in a rear-facing infant seat that is
installed according to the manufacturer\fs
instructions,
\b the system determines that a small child is
present in a forward-facing child restraint
that is installed according to the manufac-
turer\fs instructions,
\b the system determines that a small child is
present in a booster seat,
\b a front passenger takes his/her weight off
of the seat for a period of time,
\b a child or a small person occupies the front
passenger\fs seat.
The OWS uses a PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF
indicator lamp which will illuminate and stay on
to remind you that the passenger\fs side front airbag is disabled. The PASSENGER AIRBAG
OFF indicator lamp is located in the overhead
console, near the base of the rearview mirror.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched on, the OWS
indicator light will go on for up to 10 seconds
while the system performs a self-diagnostic
test.
However, if a fault is detected in the system:
\b
The OWS indicator light will stay on
\b The SRS warning light (see page 17) will
come on and stay on
\b The message
PASS. AIRBAG OFF
SERVICE URGENT will be displayed in
the information display.
WARNING If a fault in the system is detected and indi-
cated as described, be aware that the pas-
senger\fs side front airbag will not deploy in
the event of a collision. In this case, the SRS
system and Occupant Weight Sensor
should be inspected by a trained and quali-
fied Volvo service technician as soon as
possible. 2

01 SafetyCrash mode 01
32
Driving after a collisionIf the vehicle has been involved in a collision,
the text SAFETY MODE SEE MANUAL may
appear in the information display. This indi-
cates that the vehicle\fs functionality has been
reduced.
NOTE This text can only be shown if the display is
undamaged and the vehicle\fs electrical sys-
tem is intact.
Safety mode is a feature that is triggered if one
or more of the safety systems (e.g. front or side
airbags, an inflatable curtain, or one or more of
the seat belt pretensioners) has deployed. The
collision may have damaged an important function in the vehicle, such as the fuel lines,
sensors for one of the safety systems, the
brake system, etc.
WARNING \b
Never attempt to repair the vehicle
yourself or to reset the electrical system
after the vehicle has displayed SAFETY
MODE SEE MANUAL. This could
result in injury or improper system func-
tion.
\b Restoring the vehicle to normal operat-
ing status should only be done by a
trained and qualified Volvo service tech-
nician.
\b After SAFETY MODE SEE MANUAL
has been displayed, if you detect the
odor of fuel vapor, or see any signs of
fuel leakage, do not attempt to start the
vehicle. Leave the vehicle immediately.
Attempting to start the vehicleIf damage to the vehicle is minor and there is
no fuel leakage, you may attempt to start the
vehicle. To do so:
1. Remove the remote control from the igni-
tion slot. 2.
Reinsert the remote in the ignition slot. The
vehicle will then attempt to reset Safety
mode to normal status.
3. Try to start the vehicle.
Moving the vehicleIf the electrical system is able to reset system
status to normal (SAFETY MODE SEE
MANUAL will no longer be shown in the dis-
play), the vehicle may be moved carefully from
its present position, if for example, it is blocking
traffic. It should, however, not be moved farther
than is absolutely necessary.
WARNING Even if the vehicle appears to be drivable
after Safety 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 tow truck to a trained and quali-
fied Volvo service technician for inspection/
repairs. G022831
