that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled unless the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is lit. Make sure thechild restraint is properly installed. If there is any doubt as to thestatus of the passenger's side front airbag, move the childrestraint to the rear seat.
The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate) the passenger's side front airbag in the event of acollision anytime the system senses that a per-son of adult size is sitting properly in the frontpassenger's seat. The PASSENGER AIRBAGOFF indicator lamp will be off and remain off. If a person of adult size is sitting in the front pas- senger's seat, but the PASSENGER AIRBAGOFF indicator lamp is on, it is possible that theperson isn't sitting properly in the seat. If thishappens:• Turn the vehicle off and ask the person to place the seatback in an upright position.
• Have the person sit upright in the seat, cen-tered on the seat cushion, with the person'slegs comfortably extended.
• Restart the vehicle and have the personremain in this position for about two minutes.This will allow the system to detect that per-son and enable the passenger's frontal air-bag.
• If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicatorlamp remains on even after this, the personshould be advised to ride in the rear seat.
This condition reflects limitations of the OWS classification capability. It does not indicate OWSmalfunction.
ModificationsIf you are considering modifying your vehicle inany way to accommodate a disability, for exampleby altering or adapting the driver's or front pas-senger's seat(s) and/or airbag systems, pleasecontact Volvo at: In the USA Volvo Cars of North America, LLC Customer Care Center1 Volvo DriveP.O.

• No objects that add to the total weight on the seat should be placed on the frontpassenger's seat. If a child is seated inthe front passenger's seat with any addi-tional weight, this extra weight couldcause the OWS system to enable the air-bag, which might cause it to deploy in theevent of a collision, thereby injuring thechild.
• The seat belt should never be wrappedaround an object on the front passeng-er's seat. This could interfere with theOWS system's function.
• The front passenger's seat belt shouldnever be used in a way that exerts morepressure on the passenger than normal.This could increase the pressure exertedon the weight sensor by a child, andcould result in the airbag being enabled,which might cause it to deploy in theevent of a collision, thereby injuring thechild.

Climate control system
The vehicle is equipped with Electronic Climate Control (ECC) that cools, heats, dehumidifiesand filters the air in the passenger compartment.
2-zone climate system
2-zone system climate zones
The 2-zone climate system makes it possible to set the left- and right-side temperatures sepa-rately. All climate system settings are made from the center display and the buttons in the center con-sole.
4-zone climate system *
4-zone system climate zones
The 4-zone climate system makes it possible to set the left- and right-side temperatures sepa-rately for the front and rears seats. All climate system settings are made from the center display and the buttons in the center con-sole. Settings for the rear seats can also bemade from the climate system panel on the rearside of the tunnel console.

Perceived temperature
The climate system regulates passenger com- partment temperature based on the perceivedtemperature, not on the actual one.
The selected passenger compartment tempera- ture is based on a physical perception relating tothe current ambient temperature, air flow, humid-ity, sunlight in the passenger compartment, etc. The system's sunlight sensor monitors the side of the car where sunlight is entering the passengercompartment. This means that the actual tem-perature may differ between the right and leftsides of the compartment, even if the tempera-ture setting is the same for both sides.
