Safety
The vehicle is equipped with a number of safetysystems that work together to help protect thevehicle's driver and passengers in the event ofan accident.
The vehicle is equipped with a number of sensorsthat may react in the event of an accident andactivate different safety systems, such as the air-bag system and seat belt tensioners. Dependingon the specific conditions of the accident, e.g.collisions at certain angles, overturning or swerv-ing, the systems react differently to help providethe best protection.
There are also mechanical safety systems suchas the Whiplash Protection System. The vehicleis also built so that a large part of the force of acollision is distributed to the vehicle's members,pillars, floor, roof and other parts of the body.
After an accident, the vehicle's safety mode maybe activated if any important function in the vehi-cle has been damaged.

Warning symbol in the instrument panel
The warning symbol in the instrumentpanel illuminates when the vehicle'selectrical system is in ignition mode II.The symbol will go out after approx. 6seconds if no faults are detected in the vehicle'ssafety systems.
WARNING
If the warning symbol remains illuminated orswitches on while driving and the messageSRS airbag Service urgent Drive toworkshop is displayed in the instrumentpanel, this indicates that something in thesafety system is not functioning properly.Volvo recommends contacting an authorizedVolvo workshop for repairs as soon as possi-ble.

WARNING
Never attempt to alter or repair any of thevehicle's safety systems yourself. Incorrectlyperformed repairs to any system could impairfunction and lead to serious injury. Volvo rec-ommends contacting an authorized Volvoworkshop.
If this dedicated warning symbol is notfunctioning, the general warning sym-bol will illuminate instead and the samemessage will be displayed in the instru-ment panel.

3.The height of the seat belts in the front seatscan be adjusted.
Press the button on the seat belt holder andmove the belt up or down.
Position the belt as high as possible withoutit chafing against the neck.
The belt should be positioned closely over the shoulder(against the collarbone, not down over the arm).

WARNING
Never use a seat belt for more than oneoccupant. Never wear the shoulder portion ofthe belt under the arm, behind the back orotherwise out of position. Such use couldcause injury in the event of an accident. Asseat belts lose much of their strength whenexposed to violent stretching, they should bereplaced after any collision, even if theyappear to be undamaged.

WARNING
Do not use clips or fasten the belts aroundhooks or other parts of the interior. This willprevent the seat belt from fitting properly.

WARNING
