currently playing. It is controlled using the steer-ing wheel keypads.

Center display
Many of the vehicle's main functions are con-trolled from the center display, a touchscreen thatreacts to taps and other gestures. This minimizesthe number of physical buttons and controls nee-ded in the vehicle. The screen can also be oper-ated while wearing gloves.
The center display is used to control e.g. the cli-mate and entertainment systems and to adjustthe power seats*. The information presented inthe center display can be handled by the driveror, in some situations, by a passenger.
Voice control system
The voice control system ena-bles the driver to control certainvehicle functions without takingtheir hands off the wheel. Thesystem can understand naturalspeech. Use voice commandsto e.g. play a song, make aphone call, increase the temperature in the pas-senger compartment or have a text messageread aloud.

Safety during pregnancy
It is important that seat belts are worn correctlyduring 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 flatover 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 position
As 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 safety
Our concern for safety dates back to 1927 whenthe 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 tosafety. We continue to seek out new safety fea-tures and to refine those already in our vehicles.You can help. We would appreciate hearing yoursuggestions about improving automobile safety.We also want to know if you ever have a safetyconcern with your vehicle. Call us in the U.S. at:1-800-458-1552 or in Canada at:1-800-663-8255.

Whiplash Protection System
The Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) isdesigned 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-endcollision 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 orWHIPS on your own. Volvo recommends con-tacting an authorized Volvo workshop.
If the front seats have been subjected tosevere 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 underthe front seats or on the rear seat that could preventWHIPS from functioning correctly.

SAFETY

WARNING
Do not squeeze box-like cargo between therear seat cushion and the front seat backrest.
If the rear seat backrests are folded down,cargo must be secured to prevent it from slid-ing forward against the front seat backrests inthe event of a collision.

WARNING
If a rear seat backrest is folded down or if arear-facing child restraint is being used in therear seat, the seat in front must be moved for-ward so that it does not come into contactwith the backrest or child restraint.

Seating position
For WHIPS to provide optimal protection, thedriver and passenger must be seated correctlyand the system's function must not be impededin any way.
Set the front seat to the correct seating positionbefore starting to drive.
The driver and the front seat passenger shouldsit in the center of the seat with their heads asclose as possible to the head restraints.

Seat belts should always be worn by all occu-pants in your vehicle. Children should be prop-erly restrained using an infant seat, adjustablechild seat or booster cushion as determined byage, weight and height.Most states and provinces make it mandatory foroccupants of a vehicle to use seat belts.
Seat belt maintenance
Check periodically that the seat belts are in goodcondition. Use water and a mild detergent forcleaning. Check the seat belt mechanism's func-tion as follows: attach the seat belt and pull rap-idly on the strap.
