Volvo Structural Parts Statement
Volvo has always been and continues to be a leader in automotive safety.
Volvo engineers and manufactures vehicles designed to help protect vehicle occupants in theevent of a collision. Volvos are designed to absorb the impact of a collision. This energy absorption system including,but not limited to, structural components such asbumper reinforcement bars, bumper energyabsorbers, frames, rails, fender aprons, A-pillars,B-pillars and body panels must work together tomaintain cabin integrity and protect the vehicleoccupants. The supplemental restraint system including but not limited to air bags, side curtain air bags, anddeployment sensors work together with theabove components to provide proper timing forair bag deployment. Due to the above, Volvo Cars of North America does not support the use of aftermarket, alterna-tive or anything other than original Volvo parts forcollision repair. In addition Volvo does not support the use or re- use of structural components from an existingvehicle that has been previously damaged.Although these parts may appear equivalent, it isdifficult to tell if the parts have been previouslyreplaced with non-OE parts or if the part hasbeen damaged as a result of a prior collision. The quality of these used parts may also have beenaffected due to environmental exposure.

Crash event data
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR isto record, in certain crash or near crash-like sit-uations, such as an air bag deployment or hittinga road obstacle, data that will assist in under-standing how a vehicle's systems performed.The EDR is designed to record data related tovehicle dynamics and safety systems for a shortperiod of time, typically 30 seconds or less. TheEDR in this vehicle is designed to record suchdata as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passengersafety belts were buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressingthe accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understand- ing of the circumstances in which crashes andinjuries occur.
NOTE
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no dataare recorded by the EDR under normal drivingconditions and no personal data (e.g., name,gender and age) are recorded. However,other parties, such as law enforcement, couldcombine the EDR data with the type of per-sonally identifying data routinely acquired dur-ing a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equip- ment is required, and access to the vehicle or theEDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manu-facturer, other parties, such as law enforcement,that have the special equipment, can read theinformation if they have access to the vehicle orthe EDR. Furthermore, your vehicle is equipped with a number of computers whose task is to continu-ously control and monitor the vehicle
