WARNING
•Never repair the belt yourself. Repairs should only be performed by a trainedand qualified Volvo service technician.
• Any device used to induce slack into theshoulder belt portion of the three-pointbelt system will have a detrimental effecton the amount of protection available inthe event of a collision.
• The seat back should not be tilted too farback. The shoulder belt must be taut inorder to function properly.
• Do not use any type of child restraint inthe front passenger seat. We recommendthat children who have outgrown thesedevices sit in the rear seat with the seatbelt properly fastened.

Buckling and unbuckling seat belts
Make sure that all passengers have buckled their seat belts before starting to drive.Buckling seat belts1. Pull out the belt slowly and make sure it is not twisted or damaged. If the seat belt in the second row center seating position is used, make sure it is prop-erly positioned in the correct seat belt guide.
NOTE
Each seat belt is equipped with a retractor that will lock up in the following situations:
• if the belt is pulled out rapidly
• during braking and acceleration
• if the vehicle is leaning excessively
• when driving in turns
• if the automatic locking retractor/emer-gency locking retractor (ALR/ELR) is acti-vated. Each seat belt (except for the driv-er's) is equipped with an ALR function,which is designed to keep the seat belttaut when installing a child restraint. ALRis activated when the seat belt is pulledout as far as possible. If this is done, asound from the seat belt retractor will beaudible, which is normal. The seat belt cannow only be fed into the retractor, notpulled out. This function is automaticallydisabled when the seat belt is unbuckledand fully retracted.

2. Buckle the seat belt by pushing the latch
plate into the receptacle.
> A distinct "click" indicates that the belt islocked into place.
WARNING
Always insert the seat belt latch plate into the belt buckle on the correct side. Failure to doso could cause the seat belts and belt buck-les to malfunction in a collision. There is a riskof serious injury. 3. The height of the seat belts in the front seats
and outboard rear seating positions can be adjusted.
Press the button on the seat belt holder and move the belt up or down. Position the belt as high as possible without it chafing against the neck.
The belt should be positioned closely against the inside of the shoulder (against the collarbone, not down overthe arm).
4. Tighten the lap section of the seat belt overthe hips by pulling the diagonal section upward toward the shoulder.
The lap section of the seat belt should be positioned low on the hips (not against the abdomen).

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 10minutes and disconnect the battery.
2. Follow the instructions for manually over- riding the shiftlock system.
Deployed airbags
WARNING
If any of the airbags have deployed:
• Do not attempt to drive the vehicle. Have it towed to an authorized workshop.
• If necessary, seek medical attention.

Driver/passenger-side airbags
As a supplement to the seat belts, the vehicle is equipped with driver and passenger side frontairbags.
Driver/passenger side front airbags.
In a frontal collision, the airbags help protect the driver's and passenger's head, face and chestand the driver's knees and legs. A collision of a sufficiently violent force will trig- ger the sensors and one or more airbags willinflate. The airbag helps cushion the initial impactof the collision for the passenger. The airbagdeflates when compressed by the collision. Asmall amount of powder will also be releasedfrom the airbag. This may appear to be smokeand is normal. The entire process, from inflationto deflation of the airbag, occurs within tenths ofa second.
NOTE
The sensors react differently depending on the circumstances of the accident andwhether or not the seat belt is used. Does notapply to all belt positions. In some accident situations, only one (or none) of the airbags will be deployed. Thesensors monitor the impact of the collisionand react accordingly to deploy one, severalor no airbags.
WARNING
The seat belt and the airbag work together. If the seat belt is not used or is used incorrectly,the airbag may not provide the intended pro-tection in a collision. To help prevent injury in the event the airbag is deployed, passengers should sit as uprightas possible, with their feet on the floor andtheir backs against the seat backrest.
WARNING
Volvo recommends contacting an authorized Volvo workshop for repairs. Incorrectly per-formed repairs to the airbag system couldimpair function and lead to serious injury.

WARNING
•No objects that add to the total weight on the seat should be placed on the frontpassenger's seat. If a child is seated inthe front passenger's seat with any addi-tional weight, this extra weight couldcause the OWS system to enable the air-bag, which might cause it to deploy in theevent of a collision, thereby injuring thechild.
• The seat belt should never be wrappedaround an object on the front passeng-er's seat. This could interfere with theOWS system's function.
• The front passenger's seat belt shouldnever be used in a way that exerts morepressure on the passenger than normal.This could increase the pressure exertedon the weight sensor by a child, andcould result in the airbag being enabled,which might cause it to deploy in theevent of a collision, thereby injuring thechild.
WARNING
• Keep the following points in mind with respect to the OWS system. Failure tofollow these instructions could adverselyaffect the system's function and result inserious injury to the occupant of the frontpassenger's seat:
• The full weight of the front seat passen-ger should always be on the seat cushion.The passenger should never lift him/herself off the seat cushion using thearmrest in the door or the center console,by pressing the feet on the floor, by sit-ting on the edge of the seat cushion, orby pressing against the backrest in a waythat reduces pressure on the seat cush-ion. This could cause OWS to disable thefront, passenger's side airbag.
WARNING
•Do not place any type of object on the front passenger's seat in such a way thatjamming, pressing, or squeezing occursbetween the object and the front seat,other than as a direct result of the correctuse of the Automatic Locking Retractor/Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR)seat belt.
• No objects should be placed under thefront passenger's seat. This could inter-fere with the OWS system's function.

WARNING
Volvo recommends contacting an authorized Volvo workshop for repair. Incorrectly per-formed repairs to the inflatable curtain systemcould impair function and lead to seriousinjury.
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy objects in the handle in the ceiling. The hooks are onlyintended for lightweight garments (not forhard objects such as umbrellas). Never screw or mount anything to the vehi- cle's headlining, door pillars or side panels.This could impair the intended protectiveproperties. Volvo recommends only usingVolvo original parts that are approved forplacement in these areas.
WARNING
If objects are loaded higher than the upper edge of the side windows, leave a 10 cm (4in.) space between the objects and the win-dow. Objects placed closer to this couldimpede the function of the inflatable curtainconcealed inside the headlining.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the seat belt. Always wear your seat belt.
