Occupant safety
Safety is Volvo's cornerstone.
Volvo's concern for safetyOur concern for safety dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the productionline. Three-point seat belts (a Volvo inven-tion), safety cages, and energy-absorbingimpact zones were designed into Volvo vehi-cles long before it was fashionable orrequired by government regulation. We will not compromise our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safetyfeatures and to refine those already in ourvehicles. You can help. We would appreciatehearing your suggestions about improvingautomobile safety. We also want to know ifyou ever have a safety concern with yourvehicle. Call us in the U.S. at:1-800-458-1552 or in Canada at:1-800-663-8255.
Occupant safety remindersHow safely you drive doesn't depend on how old you are but rather on:• How well you see.
• Your ability to concentrate.
• How quickly you make decisions under stress to avoid an accident.
The following suggestions are intended to help you cope with the ever changing trafficenvironment. •
Never drink and drive.
• If you are taking any medication, consult your physician about its potential effectson your driving abilities.
• Take a driver-retraining course.
• Have your eyes checked regularly.
• Keep your windshield and headlightsclean.
• Replace wiper blades when they start toleave streaks.
• Take into account the traffic, road, andweather conditions, particularly withregard to stopping distance.
• Never send text messages while driving.
• Refrain from using or minimize the use ofa cell phone while driving.

bags (p. 39), a front passenger occupant weight 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. 66) and Information displays –warning symbols (p. 68) 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. 254).

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.
WARNING
• Never try to open, remove, or repair any components in the OWS system.This could result in system malfunc-tion. Maintenance or repairs shouldonly be carried out by an a trained andqualified Volvo service technician.

Volvo recommends that children always be properly restrained in appropriate child restraints in the rear seats.Do not assume that the passenger's side front airbag isdisabled unless the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicatorlamp is lit. Make sure the child restraint is properly instal-led. If there is any doubt as to the status of the passeng-er's side front airbag, move the child restraint to the rearseat.
The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate) the passenger's side front airbag in the eventof a collision anytime the system senses thata person of adult size is sitting properly in thefront passenger's seat. The PASSENGERAIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will be off andremain off.

Malfunction Indicator LightAs you drive, a computer called On-Board Diagnostics II (OBDII) monitors your vehicle'sengine, transmission, electrical and emissionsystems. The malfunction indicator light will illuminate if the computer senses a condition that poten-tially may need correcting. When this hap-pens, please have your vehicle checked by atrained and qualified Volvo service technicianas soon as possible. A malfunction indicator light may have many causes. Sometimes, you may not notice achange in your car's behavior. Even so, anuncorrected condition could hurt fuel econ-omy, emission controls, and drivability.Extended driving without correcting the causecould even damage other components inyour vehicle. This light may illuminate if the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine was runningwhile the vehicle was refueled.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)If the warning light comes on, there may be a malfunction in the ABS system (the standardbraking system will still function). Check thesystem by:
1. Stopping in a safe place and switching off
the ignition.
2. Restart the engine. 3. If the warning light goes off, no further
action is required.
If the indicator light remains on, the vehicle should be driven to a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician for inspection, seeBrakes – general (p. 262) for additional infor-mation.
Rear fog lightsThis symbol indicates that the rear fog lights are on.
Stability systemThis indicator symbol flashes when the stabil- ity system is actively working to stabilize thevehicle, see Stability system – introduction(p. 162) for more detailed information.
Stability system - Sport modeThis symbol illuminates to indicate that the stability system's Sport mode has been acti-
vated to help provide maximum tractive force,for example when driving with snow chains,or driving in deep snow or loose sand.
Low fuel levelWhen this light comes on, the vehicle should be refueled as soon as possible. See Refuel-ing – fuel requirements (p. 273) for informa-tion about fuel and refueling.
Information symbolThe information symbol lights up and a text message is displayed to provide the driverwith necessary information about one of thevehicle's systems. The message can beerased and the symbol can be turned off by pressing the
OK button (see Information dis-
play – menu controls (p. 107) for information)or this will take place automatically after ashort time (the length of time varies, depend-ing on the function affected). The information symbol may also illuminate together with other symbols.
High beam indicatorThis symbol illuminates when the high beam headlights are on, or if the high beam flashfunction is used.
Left turn signal indicator
Right turn signal indicator
NOTE
• Both turn signal indicators will flash when the hazard warning flashers areused.
• If either of these indicators flash fasterthan normal, the direction indicatorsare not functioning properly.
Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)*
This symbol illuminates to indicate that tire pressure in one or more tires is low, see TirePressure Monitoring System (TPMS) – generalinformation (p. 303) for detailed information.
