Volvo Structural Parts Statement
Volvo is one of the leading companies for car 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 Car USA does not sup- port the use of aftermarket, alternative or any-thing other than original Volvo parts for collisionrepair. Volvo Car USA also recommends using Volvo- approved replacement glass. The use of after-market glass, particularly a windshield, can havean adverse effect on collision avoidance andadvanced lighting systems. 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. Thequality of these used parts may also have beenaffected due to environmental exposure.

Safety during pregnancy It is important that seat belts are worn correctly during pregnancy and that pregnant driversadjust their seating position accordingly.
Seat belt
The seat belt should fit closely against the shoul- der, with the diagonal section between thebreasts and to the side of the stomach. The lap section of the seat belt should lie flat over the thighs and as far as possible under thestomach. Never let it ride upward. Removeunnecessary slack and make sure the seat beltfits as close as possible to the body. Make surethere are no twists in the seat belt.
Seating positionAs pregnancy progresses, pregnant driversshould adjust the seat and steering wheel to aposition that allows them to retain full control of the vehicle (which means they should be able toeasily reach the steering wheel and foot pedals).Try to maintain as much distance as possiblebetween the stomach and the steering wheel.

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 production line.Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safetycages, and energy-absorbing impact zones weredesigned into Volvo vehicles long before it wasfashionable or required by government regulation. We will not compromise our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safety fea-tures and to refine those already in our vehicles. You can help. We would appreciate hearing your suggestions about improving automobile safety. We also want to know if you ever have a safety concern with your vehicle.

Whiplash Protection System The Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) is designed to help reduce the risk of whiplash-type injuries. The system consists of energyabsorbing backrests and seat cushions as wellas specially designed head restraints in the frontseats.
WHIPS is activated in the event of a rear-end collision and adapted to the angle and speed ofthe collision and to the characteristics of the col-liding vehicle. When WHIPS is activated, the front seat back- rests move rearward and the seat cushions movedownward to change the seating positions of thedriver and front seat passenger. This movementhelps absorb some of the forces that could resultin whiplash.
WARNING
WHIPS is a supplement to the seat belt. Always wear your seat belt.
WARNING
Do not attempt to alter or repair the seat or WHIPS on your own. Volvo recommends con-tacting an authorized Volvo workshop. If the front seats have been subjected to severe stress, e.g. in a collision, the seatsmust be replaced. Even if the seats appearundamaged, some of their protective proper-ties may have been lost.
Do not place any objects on the floor behind or under the front seats or on the rear seat that could preventWHIPS from functioning correctly.

Handling the center display
Many of the vehicle's functions and features can be controlled and adjusted from the center dis-play. The center display is a touchscreen thatreacts to taps and other gestures.
Using the center display's touchscreenThe touchscreen reacts differently depending on whether the user taps, drags or swipes thescreen. It is possible to e.g. move between differ- ent views, mark objects, scroll in a list and moveapps by touching the screen in various ways. An infrared light curtain just above the surface of the screen enables the screen to detect when afinger is directly in front of the screen. This tech-nology makes it possible to use the screen evenwhile wearing gloves. Two people can interact with the screen at the same time, e.g. to adjust climate system settingsfor both the driver and passenger sides.
CAUTION
Do not use sharp objects on the screen as this could cause scratches.
The following table presents the various proce- dures for using the screen:
