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.

NOTE
Deployment of front airbags occurs onlyone time during an accident. In a collisionwhere deployment occurs, the airbagsand seat belt tensioners activate. Somenoise occurs and a small amount of pow-der is released. The release of the pow-der may appear as smoke-like matter.This is a normal characteristic and doesnot indicate fire.
Volvo's front airbags use special sensorsthat are integrated with the front seatbuckles. The point at which the airbagdeploys is determined by whether or notthe seat belt is being used, as well as theseverity of the collision.
Collisions can occur where only one ofthe airbags deploys. If the impact is lesssevere, but severe enough to present aclear injury risk, the airbags are triggeredat partial capacity. If the impact is moresevere, the airbags are triggered at fullcapacity.
WARNING
Do not use child safety seats or childbooster cushions/backrests in the frontpassenger's seat. We also recommendthat occupants under 140 cm (4 feet7 inches) in height who have outgrownthese devices sit in the rear seat with theseat belt fastened. See also the Occu-pant Weight Sensor information.
Never drive with the airbags deployed.The fact that they hang out can impair thesteering of your vehicle. Other safety sys-tems can also be damaged.
The smoke and dust formed when theairbags are deployed can cause skin andeye irritation in the event of prolongedexposure.
Should you have questions about any componentin the SRS system, please contact a trained andqualified Volvo service technician or Volvo cus-tomer support:

Do not move the vehicle farther than abso-
lutely necessary.
WARNING When the vehicle is in safety mode, it should
not be towed behind another vehicle. It should
be towed from the site on a tow truck. Volvo
recommends towing the vehicle directly to an
authorized Volvo workshop.

Safety mode (p. 61)
Starting the vehicle (p. 434)
Recovery (p. 489) Child safety
Children should always be seated safely when
traveling in the vehicle.
General informationVolvo recommends the proper use of restraint
systems for all occupants including children.
Remember that, regardless of age and size, a
child should always be properly restrained in a
vehicle.
Your vehicle is also equipped with ISOFIX/
LATCH attachments, which make it more conven-
ient to install child seats.
Some restraint systems for children are designed
to be secured in the vehicle by lap belts or the
lap portion of a lap-shoulder belt. Such child
restraint systems can help protect children in
vehicles in the event of an accident only if they
are used properly. However, children could be
endangered in a crash if the child restraints are
not properly secured in the vehicle. Failure to fol-
low the installation instructions for your child
restraint can result in your child striking the vehi-
cle's interior in a sudden stop.
Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable
substitute for a child restraint system. In an acci-
dent, a child held in a person's arms can be
crushed between the vehicle's interior and an
unrestrained person. The child could also be
injured by striking the interior, or by being ejected
from the vehicle during a sudden maneuver or impact. The same can also happen if the infant or
child rides unrestrained on the seat. Other occu-
pants should also be properly restrained to help
reduce the chance of injuring or increasing the
injury of a child.
All states and provinces have legislation govern-
ing how and where children should be carried in
a vehicle. Find out the regulations existing in your
state or province. Recent accident statistics have
shown that children are safer in rear seating
positions than front seating positions when prop-
erly restrained. A child restraint system can help
protect a child in a vehicle. Here's what to look
for when selecting a child restraint system:
It should have a label certifying that it meets
applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stand-
ards (FMVSS 213) - or in Canada, CMVSS 213.
Make sure the child restraint system is approved
for the child's height, weight and development -
the label required by the standard or regulation,
or instructions for infant restraints, typically pro-
vide this information.
In using any child restraint system, we urge you
to carefully look over the instructions that are
provided with the restraint. Be sure you under-
stand them and can use the device properly and
safely in this vehicle. A misused child restraint
system can result in increased injuries for both
the infant or child and other occupants in the
vehicle.

||SAFETY
64
When a child has outgrown the child safety seat,
you should use the rear seat with the standard
seat belt fastened. The best way to help protect
the child here is to place the child on a cushion
so that the seat belt is properly located on the
hips. Legislation in your state or province may
mandate the use of a child seat or cushion in
combination with the seat belt, depending on the
child's age and/or size. Please check local regu-
lations.
A specially designed and tested booster cushion
and backrest can be obtained from your Volvo
retailer. See also the article "Integrated booster
cushion."
WARNING
Do not use child safety seats or child
booster cushions/backrests in the front
passenger's seat. We also recommend
that children under 140 cm (4 feet
7 inches) in height who have outgrown
these devices sit in the rear seat with the
seat belt fastened.
On hot days, the temperature in the vehi-
cle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure
to these high temperatures for even a
short period of time can cause heat-rela-
ted injury or death. Small children are par-
ticularly at risk. Never leave children unat-
tended in a vehicle.
Child seats should always be registered.
Volvo's recommendationsWhy does Volvo believe that no child should sit in
the front seat of a vehicle? It's quite simple really.
A front airbag is a very powerful device designed,
by law, to help protect an adult.
Because of the size of the airbag and its speed
of inflation, a child should never be placed in the
front seat, even if he or she is properly belted or
strapped into a child safety seat. Volvo has been
an innovator in the field of safety since it was
founded. And we have no intention of resting on
our laurels. But we need your help. Please remember to put your children in the back seat,
and buckle them up.
WARNING A child restraint should never be reused if:
The vehicle has been involved in a colli-
sion, no matter how minor
Its history is unknown
It is older than the manufacturer's expira-
tion date
Volvo has some very specific
recommendations
Always wear your seat belt.
Airbags are a SUPPLEMENTAL safety
device which, when used with a three-point
seat belt can help reduce serious injuries
during certain types of accidents. Volvo rec-
ommends that you do not disconnect the air-
bag system in your vehicle.
Volvo strongly recommends that everyone in
the vehicle be properly restrained.
Volvo recommends that ALL occupants
(adults and children) shorter than 140 cm
(4 feet 7 inches) be seated in the rear seat
of any vehicle with a front passenger side air-
bag.
Drive safely!

76 Integrated booster cushion*
1
The integrated booster cushion in the second
row center seating position helps ensure that a
child can sit comfortably and safely.
The integrated booster cushion has been spe-
cially designed to help safeguard children in the
rear seat when used with the vehicle's seat belts.
If using a booster cushion does not result in
proper positioning of the shoulder strap, then the
child should be placed in a properly secured child
restraint. The shoulder belt must never be placed
behind the child's back or under the arm.
Only used for children in the weight range
15-36 kg (33-80 lbs) and height range
97-137 cm (38-54 inches).
In Canada: 18 kg (40 lbs) is the minimum
weight requirement for a child using booster
cushions according to the Canadian regulation
CMVSS 213.4 Correct seating position: the seat belt is positioned
across the collarbone.
Before driving, make sure that:
the booster cushion is locked into position
the head restraint is set to the same height
as the child's head, so that, if possible, the
entire back of the child's head is covered
the seat belt is taut, in contact with the
child's body and not twisted
the seat belt is not positioned across the
child's throat or below the shoulder
the lap section of the seat belt is placed low
over the child's hips to provide the best pro-
tection.
WARNING DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can
occur

Follow all instructions on this
child restraint and in the vehicle's
owner's manual.
Make sure the booster cushion is
securely locked before the child
is seated.
Only use for children who weigh between
15-36 kg (33-80 lbs) and who are
between 97-137 cm (38-54 tum) in
height. In Canada: 18 kg (40 lbs) is the
minimum weight requirement for a child
using booster cushions according to the
Canadian regulation CMVSS 213.4
Use only the vehicle's lap and shoulder
belt system when restraining the child in
this booster cushion.
In the event of a collision while the inte-
grated booster cushion was occupied, the
entire booster cushion and seat belt must
be replaced. The booster cushion should
also be replaced if it is badly worn or
damaged in any way. This work should be
performed by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician only. 1
Canada only: This cushion may be referred to as a built-in booster cushi\
on.
