goal. In addition to continuous environmentalrefinement of conventional gasoline-poweredinternal combustion engines, Volvo is activelylooking at advanced technology alternative-fuelvehicles.
When you drive a Volvo, you become our partnerin the work to lessen the vehicle's impact on theenvironment. To reduce your vehicle's environ-mental impact, you can:
Maintain proper air pressure in your tires.Tests have shown decreased fuel economywith improperly inflated tires.
Follow the recommended maintenanceschedule in your Warranty and ServiceRecords Information booklet.
Drive at a constant speed whenever possible.
See a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician as soon as possible for inspectionif the check engine (malfunction indicator)light illuminates, or stays on after the vehiclehas started.
Properly dispose of any vehicle-related wastesuch as used motor oil, used batteries, brakepads, etc.
When cleaning your vehicle, please use gen-uine Volvo car care products. All Volvo carcare products are formulated to be environ-mentally friendly.
Twin Engine vehicles
If possible, precondition the vehicle with thecharging cable before driving.
If preconditioning is not possible in coldweather, use the seat and steering wheelheating primarily. Avoid heating the entirepassenger compartment, which reduces thehybrid battery's charge level.
Choose the Pure drive mode to help mini-mize electric power consumption.
In hilly terrain, put the gear selector in modeB to utilize the electric motor's braking func-tion when the accelerator pedal is released.This helps charge the hybrid battery.

Seat belt reminder
Reminder light in ceiling console.
The seat belt reminder consists of an audible sig-nal and a symbol in the instrument panel.
The reminder light varies depending on the vehi-cle's speed, driving time and distance driven.
A seat belt status graphic in the instrument panelindicates when the driver's or a passenger's seatbelt is buckled or unbuckled.
Child seats are not included in the seat beltreminder system.
Front seats
An audible signal and an indicator light remindunbuckled occupants to fasten their seat belts.
Rear seat
The rear seat belt reminder has two functions:
To indicate which seat belts are buckled inthe rear seats. This will also be displayed inan instrument panel graphic.
To provide audio and visual reminders if anyseat belt in the rear seat is removed whilethe vehicle is in motion. The reminder willstop when the seat belt has been rebuckled.
Door/hood/trunk lid and fuel filler door
reminder
If the hood, trunk lid, fuel filler door or any door isnot properly closed, this will be indicated by agraphic in the instrument panel. Stop the vehiclesafely and close the open door, hood, etc.
If the vehicle is moving at a speedunder approx. 10 km/h (6 mph), theinformation symbol will illuminate in theinstrument panel.
If the vehicle is moving at a speedabove approx. 10 km/h (6 mph), thewarning symbol will illuminate in theinstrument panel.

Airbags
The vehicle is equipped with airbags and inflat-able curtains for the driver and passengers.
WARNING
If the airbag warning light stays on afterthe 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.

Passenger's side airbag decal.
WARNING
Children must never be allowed in thefront passenger's seat.
Occupants in the front passenger's seatmust never sit on the edge of the seat, sitleaning toward the instrument panel orotherwise sit out of position.
The occupant's back must be as uprightas comfort allows and be against the seatback with the seat belt properly fastened.
Feet must be on the floor, e.g., not on thedash, seat or out of the window.
WARNING
No objects or accessory equipment, e.g.dashboard covers, may be placed on,attached to, or installed near the air bagcover (the area above the glove compart-ment) or the area affected by airbagdeployment.
There should be no loose articles, suchas coffee cups on the floor, seat, or dash-board area.
Never try to open the airbag cover on thesteering wheel or the passenger's sidedashboard. This should only be done by atrained and qualified Volvo service techni-cian.
Failure to follow these instructions canresult in injury to the vehicle's occupants.

Occupant weight sensor
The Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) isdesigned to meet the regulatory requirements ofFederal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)208 and is designed to disable (will not inflate)the passenger's side front airbag under certainconditions.

Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adultsand children) shorter than 140 cm (4 feet7 inches) be seated in the back seat of any vehi-cle with a front passenger side airbag and beproperly restrained for their size and weight.
The OWS works with sensors that are part of thefront passenger's seat and seat belt. The sensorsare designed to detect the presence of a properly

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 cause the system to malfunction.Maintenance or repairs should only becarried out by an a trained and qualifiedVolvo service 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.

The charging cable has a circuit breaker thathelps protect against current overloads and ther-mal overheating.
WARNING
Charging the hybrid battery may only be donefrom approved, grounded 120/240 V outlets(AC, alternating current). If the electrical cir-cuit or electrical socket's capacity is notknown, let a licensed electrician inspect theelectrical circuit's capacity. Using a chargelevel that exceeds the electrical circuit's orelectrical outlet's capacity may start a fire ordamage the electrical circuit.
WARNING
The charging cable's residual currentbreaker helps protect the vehicle's charg-ing system but cannot ensure that an cur-rent overload will never occur.
Never use visibly worn or damaged elec-trical sockets. Doing so could lead to firesor serious injury.
Never connect the charging cable to anextension cord.
Maintenance or replacement of the hybridbattery may only be performed by atrained and qualified Volvo service techni-cian.
If the charging cable's residual current device istriggered, the blue indicator light in the chargingmodule will not illuminate when the chargingcable is plugged into an electrical outlet (or thered warning light will glow steadily). Have the out-let checked by a licensed electrician or try usinganother wall outlet.
