seated occupant and determine if the passeng-er's side 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, orhas small/medium objects in the front seat,
•the system determines that an infant is pres-ent in a rear-facing infant seat that is instal-led according to the manufacturer's instruc-tions,
•the system determines that a small child ispresent in a forward-facing child restraintthat is installed according to the manufactur-er's instructions,
•the system determines that a small child ispresent in a booster seat,
•a front passenger takes his/her weight off ofthe seat for a period of time,
•a child or a small person occupies the frontpassenger's seat.
The OWS uses a PASSENGER AIRBAG OFFindicator lamp which will illuminate and stay on toremind you that the passenger's side front airbagis disabled. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indi-cator lamp is located in the overhead console,near the base of the rearview mirror.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched on, the OWSindicator light will illuminate for several sec-onds while the system performs a self-diag-nostic test.
However, if a fault is detected in the system:
•The OWS indicator light will stay on
•The SRS warning light will come on and stayon and a text message will be displayed.
WARNING
If a fault in the system is detected and indi-cated as described, be aware that the pas-senger's side front airbag will not deploy inthe event of a collision. In this case, the SRSsystem and Occupant Weight Sensor shouldbe inspected by a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician as soon as possible.
WARNING
•Never try to open, remove, or repair anycomponents in the OWS system. Thiscould result in system malfunction. Main-tenance or repairs should only be carriedout by an a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician.
•The front passenger's seat should not bemodified in any way. This could reducepressure on the seat cushion, whichmight interfere with the OWS system'sfunction.

Rearview mirror
The interior rearview mirror has an auto-dimfunction that helps reduce glare from followingvehicle's headlights.
Auto-dim function
The auto-dim function is controlled by two sen-sors: one pointing forward (located on the for-ward-facing side of the mirror, which monitors theamount of ambient light) and one pointing rear-ward (located on the side of the mirror facing thedriver at the upper edge, which senses thestrength of following vehicles' headlights), andwork together to help eliminate glare.
NOTE
Obstructing the forward sensor with e.g.,parking stickers, transponders, etc., or the rearsensor by loading the cargo area or the rearseat in such a way that light is prevented fromreaching the sensor will reduce the auto-dimfunction in the interior rearview mirror andoptional auto-dim function in the door mirrors.
The auto-dim function is always active while thevehicle is being driven except when the reversegear has been selected. The level of sensitivityfor this function can be set to three levels, whichaffect the rearview mirror and door mirrors.
