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

16 Seat belt use during pregnancy
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 between 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 ensure that it fits close to the
body without any twists.
As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers
should adjust their seats and steering wheel
such that they can easily maintain control of the
vehicle as they drive (which means they must
be able to easily operate the foot pedals and
steering wheel). Within this context, they
should strive to position the seat with as large a distance as possible between their belly and
the steering wheel.
Child seatsPlease refer to page 35 for information on
securing child seats with the seat belts. G020998

01 SafetySupplemental Restraint System (SRS) 01
18 Front airbags
The front airbag systemThe front airbags supplement the three-point
seat belts. For these airbags to provide the
protection intended, seat belts must be worn
at all times.
The front airbag system includes gas genera-
tors surrounded by the airbags, and decelera-
tion sensors that activate the gas generators,
causing the airbags to be inflated with nitrogen
gas.
Location of the passenger's side front airbag
As the movement of the seats\f occupants com-
presses the airbags, some of the gas is expel-
led at a controlled rate to provide better cush-
ioning. Both seat belt pretensioners also
deploy, minimizing seat belt slack. The entire
process, including inflation and deflation of the
airbags, takes approximately one fifth of a sec-
ond.
The location of the front airbags is indicated by
SRS AIRBAG embossed on the steering wheel
pad and above the glove compartment, and by
decals on both sun visors and on the front and
far right side of the dash.
The driver\fs side front airbag is folded and
located in the steering wheel hub.The passenger\fs side front airbag is folded
behind a panel located above the glove com-
partment.
WARNING \b
The airbags in the vehicle are designed
to be a SUPPLEMENT to–not a replace-
ment for–the three-point seat belts. For
maximum protection, wear seat belts at
all times. Be aware that no system can
prevent all possible injuries that may
occur in an accident.
\b Never drive a vehicle with a steering
wheel-mounted airbag with your hands
on the steering wheel pad/airbag hous-
ing.
\b The front airbags are designed to help
prevent serious injury. Deployment
occurs very quickly and with consider-
able force. During normal deployment
and depending on variables such as
seating position, one may experience
abrasions, bruises, swellings, or other
injuries as a result from deployment of
one or both of the airbags.
\b When installing any accessory equip-
ment, make sure that the front airbag
system is not damaged. Any interfer-
ence in the system could cause mal-
function. G018665 G021013

WARNING\b
Children must never be allowed in the
front passenger\fs seat. Volvo recom-
mends 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 passenger-side front
airbag.
\b Occupants in the front passenger\fs seat
must never sit on the edge of the seat,
sit leaning toward the instrument panel
or otherwise sit out of position.
\b The occupant\fs back must be as upright
as comfort allows and be against the
seat back with the seat belt properly
fastened.
\b Feet must be on the floor, e.g., not on
the dash, seat or out of the window.WARNING \b
No objects or accessory equipment,
e.g. dashboard covers, may be placed
on, attached to, or installed near the air
bag hatch (the area above the glove
compartment) or the area affected by
airbag deployment (see the illustration
on page 18).
\b There should be no loose articles, such
as coffee cups on the floor, seat, or
dashboard area.
\b Never try to open the airbag cover on
the steering wheel or the passenger\fs
side dashboard. This should only be
done by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician.
\b Failure to follow these instructions can
result in injury to the vehicle occupants.
