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.

Airbags
The vehicle is equipped with airbags and inflat- able curtains for the driver and passengers.
WARNING
• If the airbag warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it illuminateswhile you are driving, have the vehicleinspected by a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician as soon as possible.
• Never attempt to alter or repair any of thevehicle's safety systems yourself. Incor-rectly performed repairs to any systemcould impair function and lead to seriousinjury. All work on these systems shouldbe performed by a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician.
WARNING
If your vehicle has become water-damaged in any way (e.g., soaked floor mats/standingwater on the floor of the vehicle), do notattempt to start the engine. This may causeairbag deployment, which could result in seri-ous injury. Volvo recommends towing thevehicle directly to an authorized Volvo work-shop. Before attempting to tow the vehicle:
1. Switch off the ignition for at least 10
minutes and disconnect the battery.
2. Follow the instructions for manually over- riding the shiftlock system.

NOTE
When the ignition is switched on, the OWS indicator 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 stay on 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.

Volvo recommends that children always be properly restrained in appropriate child restraints in the rear seats. Do not assumethat the passenger's side front airbag is disabled unless thePASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is lit. Make sure thechild restraint is properly installed. If there is any doubt as to thestatus of the passenger's side front airbag, move the childrestraint to the rear seat.
The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate) the passenger's side front airbag in the event of acollision anytime the system senses that a per-son of adult size is sitting properly in the frontpassenger's seat. The PASSENGER AIRBAGOFF indicator lamp will be off and remain off. If a person of adult size is sitting in the front pas- senger's seat, but the PASSENGER AIRBAGOFF indicator lamp is on, it is possible that the

WARNING
•When not in use, keep the child restraint system secured or remove it from thepassenger compartment to help prevent itfrom injuring passengers in the event of asudden stop or collision.
• A small child's head represents a consid-erable part of its total weight and its neckis still very weak. Volvo recommends thatchildren up to age 4 travel, properlyrestrained, facing rearward. In addition,Volvo recommends that children shouldride rearward facing, properly restrained,as long as possible.
Automatic Locking Retractor/ Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR)
To make child seat installation easier, each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped witha locking mechanism to help keep the seat belttaut.
When attaching the seat belt to a child seat:
1. Attach the seat belt to the child seat accord-
ing to the child seat manufacturer's instruc- tions.
2. Pull the seat belt out as far as possible.
3. Insert the seat belt latch plate into the buckle (lock) in the usual way. 4. Release the seat belt and pull it taut around
the child seat.
A sound from the seat belt retractor will be audi- ble at this time and is normal. The belt will nowbe locked in place. This function is automaticallydisabled when the seat belt is unlocked and thebelt is fully retracted.
WARNING
Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger'sseat. We also recommend that children whohave outgrown these devices sit in the rearseat with the seat belt properly fastened.
Child restraint registration and recallsChild restraints could be recalled for safety rea- sons. You must register your child restraint to bereached in a recall. To stay informed about childsafety seat recalls, be sure to fill out and returnthe registration card that comes with new childrestraints. Child restraint recall information is readily availa- ble in both the U.S. and Canada. For recall infor-mation in the U.S., call the U.S. Government'sAuto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393 or go tohttp://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls/register/childseat/index.cfm.

Driving
•Choose the Pure drive mode to help mini- mize electric power consumption.
• Maintain a steady speed and a generous fol-lowing distance to traffic ahead to minimizebraking. This drive mode has the lowestpower consumption.
• Balance energy requirements using theaccelerator pedal. Use the indicator on theinstrument panel to see available electricpower and avoid starting the combustionengine unnecessarily. The electric motor ismore effective than the combustion engine,especially at low speeds.
• When braking is necessary, brake gentlyusing the brake pedal. This will recharge thehybrid battery. A regenerative function isintegrated in the brake pedal and can beaugmented by the electric motor's brakingcapacity when the gear selector is in mode B
.
• Higher speeds increase energy consumption - air resistance increases with speed.
• Activate the
Hold function in the Function
view at high speeds when traveling farther than is possible using the hybrid battery'scapacity.
• Whenever possible, avoid using the
Chargefunction to charge the hybrid battery. Charg- ing the battery using the combustion engine increases fuel consumption and carbon diox-ide emissions.
• In a cold climate, reduce heating of the wind-shield/rear window, mirrors, seats and thesteering wheel.
• Maintain the correct pressure in the tires andcheck pressure regularly.
• The type of tires used could affect energyconsumption - consult a retailer for advice onsuitable tires.
• Remove unnecessary items from the vehicle- the heavier the load, the higher the fuelconsumption.
• Roof loads increase air resistance andincrease fuel consumption. Remove roofboxes, ski racks, etc. that are not in use.
• Avoid driving with the windows open.
• Do not keep the vehicle still on an upwardgradient by using the accelerator pedal. Usethe brakes instead.

Using the electric motor only
When using the electric motor, Volvo Twin Engine provides a combination of good fueleconomy, low emissions and high performance.
For energy-efficient driving:
• Select the Pure drive mode to help maximize driving range using only the electric motor.
• Balance energy requirements using theaccelerator pedal. Use the indicator on theinstrument panel's hybrid gauge to see avail-able electric power and avoid starting thecombustion engine unnecessarily.
• When braking is necessary, brake gentlyusing the brake pedal. This will recharge thehybrid battery.
• Activate the
Hold function in the Function
view at high speeds when traveling farther than is possible using the hybrid battery'scapacity.
• Reduce current consumption in the passen-ger compartment by reducing e.g. fan speed,electric heating, or air conditioning use.
Also follow the general economical driving adviceregarding speed, tires and load to maximizerange.
