Seatbelt reminder
Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fas-ten their (p. 24) seatbelt by means of an audio and visual reminder.
G017726
The audio reminder is speed dependent, and in some cases time dependent. The visualreminder is located in the roof console and inthe combined instrument panel (p. 59). Child seats are not covered by the seatbelt reminder system.
Rear seatThe seatbelt reminder in the rear seat has twosubfunctions:
• Provides information on which seatbelts (p. 23) are being used in the rear seat. Amessage appears in the combined instru-ment panel when the seatbelts are in use,or if one of the rear doors has beenopened. The message is cleared auto- matically after driving for approximately30 seconds or after pressing the indicatorstalk (p. 100)
OK button.
• Provides a warning if one of the rear seat-belts is unfastened during travel. Thiswarning takes the form of a message inthe combined instrument panel along withthe audio/visual signal. The warning stopswhen the seatbelt is re-fastened, or it canalso be acknowledged manually bypressing the
OK button.
The message in the combined instrument panel showing which seatbelts are in use isalways shown. Press the OK button to see
stored messages.
Certain marketsAn acoustic signal and indicator lamp remindthe driver and front seat passenger to use aseatbelt if either of them is not wearing one.At low speed, the audible reminder will soundfor the first 6 seconds.
Seatbelt tensioner
All the seatbelts (p. 23) are equipped with belt tensioners. A mechanism in the seatbelt ten-sioner tightens the seatbelt in the event of asufficiently violent collision. The seatbelt thenprovides more effective restraint for the occu-pants.
WARNING
Never insert the tongue of the passenger's seatbelt into the buckle on the driver'sside. Always insert the tongue of the seat-belt into the buckle on the correct side. Donot make any damages on seatbelts norinsert any foreign objects into a buckle.The seatbelts and buckles would thenpossibly not function as intended in theevent of a collision. There is a risk ofserous injury.

Passenger airbag
To supplement the protection afforded by the seatbelt (p. 23) on the passenger side, the caris equipped with an airbag (p. 28). The airbag is folded up into a compartment above the glovebox. Its cover panel ismarked AIRBAG .
Location of the front passenger airbag in a left- hand drive car.
Location of the front passenger airbag in a right- hand drive car.
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If the belt is not used or is used incorrectly, thismay diminish the protection provided bythe airbag in the event of a collision. To minimise the risk of injury if the airbag deploys, passengers must sit as upright aspossible with their feet on the floor andbacks against the backrest. Seatbeltsmust be secured.
WARNING
Do not put objects in front of or above the dashboard where the passenger airbag islocated.
WARNING
Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster cushion in the front seat if the air-bag is activated. Never allow anybody to stand or sit in front of the front passenger seat. No one shorter than 140 cm should ever sit in the front passenger seat if the airbagis activated. Failure to follow the advice given above can endanger life.
Switch - PACOS*The front passenger airbag can be deacti- vated (p. 30) if the car is equipped with aswitch, PACOS (Passenger Airbag Cut OffSwitch).
WARNING
If the car is equipped with a front passen- ger airbag, but does not have a PACOSswitch (Passenger Airbag Cut Off Switch),then the airbag will always be activated.

This indicatesthat there has been a severe malfunction.Visit a workshop as soon as possible.Volvo recommends that you contact anauthorised Volvo workshop.
WARNING
Failure to follow the advice given above can endanger the lives of passengers inthe car.

Side airbag (SIPS)
In a side impact collision a large proportion of the collision force is transferred by the SIPS(Side Impact Protection System) to beams,pillars, the floor, the roof and other structuralparts of the body. The side airbags at the driv-er's and front passenger seats protect thechest area and the hip and are an importantpart of the SIPS.
G032949
The SIPS bag system consists of two main components, side airbag and sensors. Theside airbags are located in the front seatbackrests. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the side airbags are inflated. The airbaginflates between the occupant and the doorpanel and thereby cushions the initial impact.The airbag deflates when compressed by thecollision. The side airbag is normally onlydeployed on the side of the collision.

Inflatable Curtain (IC)
The inflatable curtain helps to prevent the driver and passengers from striking theirheads on the inside of the car during a colli-sion.
Inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is part of the SIPS system (p. 31) and the airbag sys-tem (p. 28). It is fitted in the headlining alongboth sides of the roof and protects the car'soccupants sitting in the outer seats. A suffi-ciently violent collision trips the sensors andthe inflatable curtain is inflated.
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy items onto the handles in the roof. The hook is onlydesigned for light clothing (not for solidobjects such as umbrellas for example). Do not screw or install anything onto the car's headlining, door pillars or side pan-els. This could compromise the intendedprotection. Volvo recommends that youonly ever use Volvo genuine parts that areapproved for placement in these areas.
WARNING
Do not load the car higher than 50 mm under the top edge of the door windows.Otherwise, the intended protection of theinflatable curtain, which is concealed in theheadlining, may be compromised.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.

General information on WHIPS (whiplash protection)
WHIPS (Whiplash Protection System) is a pro- tection against whiplash injuries. The systemconsists of energy absorbing backrests andspecially designed head restraints in the frontseats.

The WHIPS system is actuated by a rear-end collision, where the angle and speed of thecollision, and the nature of the colliding vehi-cle all have an influence.
WARNING
The WHIPS system is a supplement to the seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.
Properties of the seatWhen the WHIPS system is deployed, the front seat backrests are lowered backward toalter the seating position of the driver andfront seat passenger. This reduces the risk ofwhiplash injury.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS system yourself. Volvo recommends thatyou contact an authorised Volvo work-shop.

WHIPS - child seats
The protection provided by the car to children seated in a child seat or on a booster cushionis not diminished by the WHIPS system (p.33). Child seat/booster cushion (p. 40) can be placed on the front passenger seat providedthat the car does not have an activated airbag(p. 30) on the front passenger side.
