Recording data As part of Volvo's safety and quality assurance, certain information about the vehicle's operation,functionality and incidents are recorded in thecar.
This vehicle is equipped with an "Event Data Recorder" (EDR). Its primary purpose is to regis-ter and record data related to traffic accidents orcollision-like situations, such as times when theairbag deploys or the vehicle strikes an obstaclein the road. The data is recorded in order toincrease understanding of how vehicle systemswork in these types of situations. The EDR isdesigned to record data related to vehicledynamics and safety systems for a short time,usually 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record data related to the following in the event of trafficaccidents or collision-like situations: •How the various systems in the car worked
• Whether the driver and passenger seatbelts were fastened/tensioned
• The driver's use of the accelerator or brakepedal
• The travel speed of the vehicle
This information can help us better understandthe circumstances in which traffic accidents, inju-ries and damage occur. The EDR only recordsdata when a non-trivial collision situation occurs.The EDR does not record any data during normal driving conditions. Similarly, the system neverregisters who is driving the vehicle or the geo-graphic location of the accident or near-miss sit-uation. However, other parties, such as the police,could use the recorded data in combination withthe type of personally identifiable informationroutinely collected after a traffic accident. Specialequipment and access to either the vehicle or theEDR is required to be able to interpret the regis-tered data. In addition to the EDR, the car is equipped with a number of computers designed to continuallycheck and monitor the function of the car. Theycan record data during normal driving conditions,but in particular register faults affecting the vehi-cle's operation and functionality, or upon activa-tion of the vehicle's driver support function (e.g.City Safety and the auto brake function). Some of the recorded data is required to enable service and maintenance technicians to diagnoseand remedy any faults that occurred in the vehi-cle. The registered information is also needed toenable Volvo to satisfy legal requirements laid outin laws and by government authorities. Informa-tion registered in the vehicle is stored in its com-puter until the vehicle is serviced or repaired. In addition to the above, the registered informa- tion can be used in aggregate form for researchand product development with the aim of contin-uously improving the safety and quality of Volvocars.
Volvo will not contribute to the above-describedinformation being disclosed to third parties with-out the vehicle owner's consent. To comply withnational legislation and regulations, Volvo may beforced to disclose information of this nature tothe police or other authorities who may assert alegal right to access such. Special technicalequipment which Volvo and workshops that haveentered into agreements with Volvo have accessto is required to be able to read and interpret therecorded data. Volvo is responsible that the infor-mation, which is transferred to Volvo during serv-icing and maintenance, is securely stored andmanaged and that its management complies withrelevant legal requirements. For further informa-tion - contact a Volvo dealer.

IntelliSafe-driver support
IntelliSafe is the Volvo Cars concept concerning car safety. It comprises a number of systemsthat contribute to making a car journey safe, tothe prevention of injuries and to the protection ofpassengers from other road users.
SupportThere are systems incorporated in IntelliSafe that help the driver to drive the car in a safe manner.The driver support functions incorporated in thecar include e.g. the adaptive cruise control (Adaptive Cruise Control) * that ensures that a
constant distance is held between the car and the vehicle in front. Pilot Assist * helps the driver to keep the car
between the lane's edge markings, combined with maintaining a preset time interval to thevehicle ahead. Park Assist Pilot * helps the driver park the car by
sensing the area around it. Other examples of systems that help the driver are the Active main beam, Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) * and Blind Spot Information (BLIS) * sys-
tems.
PreventionAn example of a function that helps to prevent accidents is City Safety. The function warns thedriver of risks of collision with another vehicle,pedestrians, cyclists or larger animals. If the driver does not react to the warning and the risk of col-lision is imminent then City Safety can automati-cally brake the car. Lane Keeping Aid (LKA)
* is another example of a
function that helps to prevent accidents by warn- ing the driver and giving corrective steering inter-ventions if the car is about to cross a lane sideline. Also available is the run-off mitigation function (Run off mitigation), whose purpose is to reducethe risk of the car unintentionally leaving theroad, and it actively steers the car back onto theroad.
ProtectionTo protect the driver and passengers, the car isequipped with seatbelt tensioners which can ten-sion the seatbelts in critical situations and in col-lisions. It also has airbags and inflatable curtains,as well as Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS)which protects against whiplash injuries. A Pedestrian Protection System (PPS) is also available for mitigating a pedestrian's impact withthe car in the event of a frontal collision.

Safety
The vehicle is equipped with several safety sys- tems that work together to protect the vehicle'sdriver and passengers in the event of an acci-dent.
The car is equipped with a number of sensors that react in the event of an accident and activatedifferent safety systems, such as different typesof airbags and seatbelt tensioners. Depending onthe specific accident situation, such as collisionsat different angles, rollover or driving off the road,the systems react in different ways to provide thebest protection. There are also mechanical safety systems such as Whiplash Protection System. The car is alsoconstructed so that a large part of the force of acollision is distributed to beams, pillars, floor, roofand other parts of the body. The car's safety mode may be activated after a collision if an important function in the car hasbeen damaged.
Warning symbol in driver displayThe warning symbol is illuminated inthe driver display when the car's elec-trical system is set in ignition position II . The symbol is extinguished after
approx. 6 seconds if the car's safety system is fault-free.
WARNING
If the warning symbol remains illuminated or is switched on during driving and the mes- sage
SRS airbag Service urgent Drive to
workshop is shown in the driver display, it
means that part of one of the safety systems does not have full functionality. Volvo recom-mends that an authorised Volvo workshopshould be contacted as soon as possible.
If the specific warning symbol is broken then the general warning symbol is illu-minated instead and the driver displayshows the same message.

Safety during pregnancy It is important that the seatbelt is used correctly during pregnancy, and that pregnant driversadjust their seating position.
Seatbelt
The diagonal section should wrap over the shoul- der then be routed between the breasts and tothe side of the abdomen. The lap section should lay flat over the thighs and as low as possible under the abdomen. – It mustnever be allowed to ride upward. Remove theslack from the seatbelt and ensure that it fits asclose to the body as possible. In addition, checkthat there are no twists in the seatbelt.
Seating positionAs the pregnancy progresses, pregnant driversmust adjust the seat and steering wheel suchthat they can easily maintain control of the vehi-

Seatbelt
Heavy braking can have serious consequences if the seatbelts are not used.
It is important that the seatbelt lies against the body so it can provide maximum protection. Donot lean the backrest too far back. The seatbelt isdesigned to protect in a normal seating position.
WARNING
Remember not to clip or hook the seatbelt to hooks or other interior fittings, as this pre-vents the belt from tightening properly.
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seat- belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this maydiminish the protection provided by the airbagin the event of a collision.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seatbelts yourself. Volvo recommends that an authorised Volvoworkshop should be contacted. If the seatbelt has been subjected to a major load, such as in conjunction with a collision,the entire seatbelt must be replaced. Some ofthe seatbelt's protective properties may havebeen lost even if the seatbelt does not appeardamaged. The seatbelt must also be replacedif it shows signs of wear or damage. The newseatbelt must be type-approved and designedfor installation at the same location as thereplaced seatbelt.

Seatbelt tensioner
The car is fitted with pyrotechnic and electric seatbelt tensioners that can tension the seat-belts in critical situations and collisions.
Seatbelt tensioner during collisionAll the seatbelts are equipped with a pyrotechnic seatbelt tensioner. The pyrotechnic seatbelt tensioner tensions the seatbelt in the event of a collision with sufficientforce in order to more effectively restrain theoccupant.
Seatbelt tensioner during critical
situations
The driver and front passenger seatbelts areequipped with an electric seatbelt tensioner. The seatbelt tensioners work together and can be activated together with the driver support sys-tems City Safety and Rear Collision Warning. Incritical situations, such as panic braking, sharpevasive action, driving off the road (e.g. the carrolls over into a ditch, lifts off the ground or hitssome off-road object), skidding, or risk of colli-sion, the seatbelt can be tensioned by the seat-belt tensioner's electric motor. The electric seatbelt tensioner adjusts the occu- pant to a better position, reducing the risk ofstriking the car's interior and improving the effectof safety systems, such as the car's airbags.

IMPORTANT
If the passenger airbag is deactivated, the electric seatbelt tensioner on the passengerside will also be deactivated.
Resetting the electric seatbelt tensioner
Once the critical situation has passed, the seat- belt and electric seatbelt tensioner are resetautomatically. If the belt still remains tensioned:
1. Stop the car at a safe place.
2. Unfasten the seatbelt and then refasten it.
> The seatbelt and electric seatbelt ten-sioner are reset.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seatbelts yourself. Volvo recommends that an authorised Volvoworkshop should be contacted. If the seatbelt has been subjected to a major load, such as in conjunction with a collision,the entire seatbelt must be replaced.

Fastening/unfastening a seatbelt
Make sure that all passengers have fastened their seatbelts before starting to drive.
Fastening a seatbelt1. Pull out the seatbelt slowly and make sure it is not twisted or damaged.
NOTE
The seatbelt locks and cannot be withdrawn:
• if it is pulled out too quickly
• during braking and acceleration
• if the car leans heavily.
2. Lock the belt by inserting the locking tab in
the intended buckle.
> A loud "click" indicates that the belt haslocked.
WARNING
Always insert the tongue of the seatbelt into the buckle on the correct side. The seatbeltsand buckles would otherwise possibly notfunction as intended in the event of a colli-sion. There is a risk of serous injury.

Airbags
The car is equipped with airbags and inflatable curtains for driver and passengers.
WARNING
The airbag system's control module is located in the centre console. If the centre console isdrenched with water or other liquid, discon-nect the cables to the starter battery. Do notattempt to start the car since the airbags maydeploy. Recovering the car. Volvo recom-mends that it is transported to an authorisedVolvo workshop.
Deployed airbagsIf any of the airbags have deployed, the following is recommended:
• Recovering the car. Volvo recommends that itis transported to an authorised Volvo work-shop. Do not drive with deployed airbags.
• Volvo recommends engaging an authorisedVolvo workshop to handle the replacement ofcomponents in the car's safety systems.
• Always contact a doctor.
WARNING
Never drive with deployed airbags. They can make steering difficult. Other safety systemsmay also be damaged. The smoke and dustcreated when the airbags are deployed cancause skin and eye irritation/injury after inten-sive exposure. In case of irritation, wash withcold water. The rapid deployment sequenceand airbag fabric may cause friction and skinburns.

Driver and passenger airbags As a supplement to the seatbelts, the vehicle is equipped with airbags on the driver and passen-ger sides in the front seat.
Driver and passenger airbags1
.
In the event of a frontal collision, the airbags help to protect the head, face and chest of the driver and passenger as well as the knees and legs 1
of
the driver. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the airbag/airbags is inflated. The airbagcushions the initial collision impact for the occu-pant. The airbag deflates when compressed bythe collision. When this occurs, smoke escapesinto the car. This is completely normal. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of theairbag, occurs within tenths of a second.
NOTE
The detectors react differently depending on the nature of the collision and whether or notthe seatbelts are fastened. Applies to all beltpositions. It is therefore possible that only one (or none) of the airbags may inflate in a collision. Thedetectors sense the force of the collision onthe vehicle and the action is adapted accord-ingly so that none, one or more airbags aredeployed.
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If the belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this maydiminish the protection provided by the airbagin 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 and backsagainst the backrest.
WARNING
Volvo recommends that an authorised Volvo workshop should be contacted for repair.Defective work in the airbag system couldcause malfunction and result in serious per-sonal injury.
