WARNING
If your vehicle is involved in an accident, unseen damage may affect its drivabilityand safety.
WARNING
CALIFORNIA proposition 65 Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain oremit chemicals known to the state of Cali-fornia to cause cancer, and birth defectsor other reproductive harm. In addition,certain fluids contained in vehicles andcertain products of component wear con-tain or emit chemicals known to the Stateof California to cause cancer, and birthdefects or other reproductive harm.
WARNING
Certain components of this vehicle such as air bag modules, seat belt pretensioners,adaptive steering columns, and button cellbatteries may contain Perchlorate material.Special handling may apply for service orvehicle end of life disposal. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/ perchlorate.
ShiftlockWhen your vehicle is parked, the gear selec- tor is locked in the P (Park) position. To
release the selector from this position, the ignition must be in mode
II (p. 69) or the
engine must be running. Depress the brakepedal, press the button on the front side ofthe gear selector and move the selector fromP (Park).
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)The ABS system performs a brief self-diag-nostic test when the engine has been startedand driver releases the brake pedal. Anotherautomatic test may be performed when thevehicle first reaches a speed of approximately6 mph (10 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsateseveral times and a sound may be audiblefrom the ABS control module. This is normal.
Fuel filler doorPress the button on the light switch panel(see the illustration in Refueling – opening/closing fuel filler door (p. 241)) when the vehi-cle is at a standstill to unlock the fuel fillerdoor. It will relock when closed and there willbe an audible click.
Points to keep in mind
• Do not export your Volvo to another country before investigating that coun-try's applicable safety and exhaust emis-sion requirements. In some cases it maybe difficult or impossible to comply withthese requirements. Modifications to theemission control system(s) may renderyour Volvo not certifiable for legal opera- tion in the U.S., Canada and other coun-tries.
• All information, illustrations and specifica-tions contained in this manual are basedon the latest product information availa-ble at the time of publication. Please notethat some vehicles may be equipped dif-ferently, depending on special legalrequirements. Optional equipment descri-bed in this manual may not be available inall markets.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
As an enhancement to the three-point seat belts (p. 28), your Volvo is equipped with aSupplemental Restraint System (SRS).
Models with an analog instrument panel
Models with an digital instrument panel*
Volvo's SRS consists of seat belt pretension- ers, front airbags (p. 32), side impact air- bags (p. 39), a front passenger occupantweight sensor (p. 36), and inflatable cur-tains (p. 41). All of these systems are moni-tored by the SRS control module. An SRSwarning light in the instrument panel (see theillustration) illuminates when the ignition is inmodes
I or II, and will normally go out after
approximately 6 seconds if no faults aredetected in the system. Where applicable, a text message will also be displayed when the SRS warning light illumi-nates. If this warning symbol is not function-ing properly, the general warning symbol illu-minates and a text message will be displayed. See also Information displays – indicator symbols (p. 62) and Information displays –warning symbols (p. 64) for more informa-tion about indicator and warning lights.

WARNING
•If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it illumi-nates while you are driving, have thevehicle inspected by a trained andqualified Volvo service technician assoon as possible.
• Never try to repair any component orpart of the SRS yourself. Any interfer-ence in the system could cause mal-function and serious injury. All work onthese systems should be performed bya trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician.
WARNING
If your vehicle has become flood-damaged in any way (e.g., soaked carpeting/stand-ing water on the floor of the vehicle), donot attempt to start the vehicle or insertthe remote key into the ignition slot beforedisconnecting the battery (see below). Thismay cause airbag deployment which couldresult in serious injury. Have the vehicletowed to a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician for repairs. Before attempting to tow the vehicle:
1. Switch off the ignition for at least
10 minutes and disconnect the bat- tery.
2. Follow the instructions for manually overriding the shiftlock system Trans-mission – shiftlock override (p. 220).

Front airbags
The front airbags supplement the three-point seat belts (p. 28). For these airbags to providethe protection intended, seat belts must beworn at all times.
G018665
The front airbag systemThe 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 nitro-gen gas. As the movement of the seats' occupants compresses the airbags, some of the gas isexpelled at a controlled rate to provide bettercushioning. Both seat belt pretensioners alsodeploy, minimizing seat belt slack. The entireprocess, including inflation and deflation ofthe airbags, takes approximately one fifth of asecond.

Occupant Weight Sensor
The Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) is designed to meet the regulatory requirementsof Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard(FMVSS) 208 and is designed to disable (willnot inflate) the passenger's side front airbagunder certain conditions.

Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) indicator light
Disabling the passenger's side frontairbag
Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 4 feet7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seatof any vehicle with a front passenger side air-bag (p. 32), and be properly restrained fortheir size and weight. For child safety recom-mendations, see Child safety (p. 45). The OWS works with sensors that are part of the front passenger's seat and seatbelt (p. 28). The sensors are designed to detect the presence of a properly seatedoccupant and determine if the passenger'sside front airbag should be enabled (mayinflate) or disabled (will not inflate). The OWS will disable (will not inflate) the pas- senger's side front airbag when:
• the front passenger's seat is unoccupied, or has small/medium objects in the frontseat,
• the system determines that an infant ispresent in a rear-facing infant seat that isinstalled according to the manufacturer'sinstructions,
• the system determines that a small childis present in a forward-facing childrestraint that is installed according to themanufacturer's instructions,
• the system determines that a small childis present in a booster seat,
• a front passenger takes his/her weight offof the seat for a period of time,
• a child or a small person occupies thefront passenger's seat.
The OWS uses a PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp which will illuminate and stayon to remind you that the passenger's sidefront airbag is disabled. The PASSENGERAIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is located in theoverhead console, near the base of the rear-view mirror.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched on, the OWS indicator light will go on for up to 10 sec-onds while the system performs a self-diagnostic test.
However, if a fault is detected in the system:
• The OWS indicator light will stay on
• The SRS warning light (p. 31) will come on and stay on
• The message
Pass. Airbag OFF Service
urgent will be displayed in the informa-
tion display.
WARNING
If a fault in the system is detected and indicated as described, be aware that thepassenger's side front airbag will notdeploy in the event of a collision. In thiscase, the SRS system and OccupantWeight Sensor should be inspected by atrained and qualified Volvo service techni-cian as soon as possible.
