of a properly seated occupant and determine if the passenger's side front airbag should beenabled (may inflate) or disabled (will notinflate). The OWS will disable (will not inflate) the pas- senger's side front airbag when:
the front passenger's seat is unoccupied,or has small/medium objects in the frontseat,
the system determines that an infant ispresent in a rear-facing infant seat that isinstalled according to the manufacturer'sinstructions,
the system determines that a small child ispresent in a forward-facing child restraintthat is installed according to the manufac-turer's instructions,
the system determines that a small child ispresent in a booster seat,
a front passenger takes his/her weight offof the seat for a period of time,
a child or a small person occupies thefront passenger's seat.
The OWS uses a PASSENGER AIRBAG OFFindicator lamp which will illuminate and stayon to remind you that the passenger's sidefront airbag is disabled. The PASSENGERAIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is located in theoverhead console, near the base of the rear-view mirror.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched on, the OWS indicator light will illuminate for sev-eral seconds while the system performs aself-diagnostic 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 stay on and a text message will be dis-played.
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, theSRS system and Occupant Weight Sensorshould be inspected by a trained and quali-fied Volvo service technician as soon aspossible.
WARNING
Never try to open, remove or repair any components 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 notbe modified in any way. This couldreduce pressure on the seat cushion,which might interfere with the OWSsystem's function.

Volvo recommends that children always be properly restrained in appropriate child restraints in the rear seats.Do not assume that the passenger's side front airbag is dis-abled unless the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lampis lit. Make sure the child restraint is properly installed. Ifthere is any doubt as to the status of the passenger's sidefront airbag, move the child restraint to the rear seat.
The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate) the passenger's side front airbag in the eventof a collision anytime the system senses that aperson of adult size is sitting properly in thefront passenger's seat. The PASSENGER AIR-BAG OFF indicator lamp will be off andremain off. If a person of adult size is sitting in the front passenger's seat, but the PASSENGER AIR- BAG OFF indicator lamp is on, it is possiblethat the person isn't sitting properly in theseat. If this happens:
Turn the vehicle off and ask the person toplace the backrest in an upright position.
Have the person sit upright in the seat,centered on the seat cushion, with theperson's legs comfortably extended.
Restart the vehicle and have the personremain in this position for about twominutes. This will allow the system todetect that person and enable the pas-senger's frontal airbag.
If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indica-tor lamp remains on even after this, theperson should be advised to ride in therear seat.
This indicates limitations in OWS classifica-tion capability. It does not indicate OWS mal-function.ModificationsIf you are considering modifying your vehiclein any way to accommodate a disability, forexample by altering or adapting the driver's orfront passenger's seat(s) and/or airbag sys-tems, please contact Volvo at: In the United StatesVolvo Car USA, LLCCustomer Care Center 1 Volvo DriveP.O.

WARNING
Volvo recommends contacting an author- ized Volvo workshop for repair. Incorrectlyperformed repairs to the inflatable curtainsystem could impair function and lead toserious injury.
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(4 in.) space between the objects and thewindow. Objects placed closer to thiscould impede the function of the inflatablecurtain concealed inside the headlining.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the seat belt. Always wear your seat belt.

Safety mode Safety mode is a feature that is triggered after a collision if there is potential damage toan important function in the vehicle, such asthe fuel lines, sensors for one of the safetysystems, the brake system, etc.
If the vehicle has been involved in a collision, the text Safety mode See Owner's manualmay appear in the instrument panel along with the warning symbol if the panel is undamagedand the vehicle's electrical system is intact.The message indicates that one or more of thevehicle's functions may be reduced.
WARNING
Never attempt to restart the vehicle if you smell fuel fumes when the message Safety
mode See Owner's manual is displayed
in the instrument panel. Leave the vehicle immediately.
If safety mode has been set, it may be possi- ble to reset the system in order to start andmove the vehicle a short distance, for exam-ple, if it is blocking traffic.

Fuel gauge The fuel gauge in the instrument panel shows the fuel level in the tank.
The illustration is generic - details may vary accord- ing to vehicle model.
The beige area in the fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel left in the tank. When the fuel level is low and it is time to refuel, the fuel pump symbol will illuminate with an amber-colored light. The trip computer also indicates the approximate distance drivenon the fuel remaining in the tank.

Hybrid gauge In Hybrid and Pure drive modes, the instru- ment panel will display a hybrid gauge, whichcan help the driver achieve optimal drivingeconomy.
The hybrid gauge shows the ratio between the electric motor's current power consumptionand the remaining available power. This infor-mation is shown in various ways.
Symbols in the hybrid gaugeIndicates the current available powerfrom the electric motor. A solid sym-bol indicates that the electric motoris being used.
A hollow symbol indicates that the electric motor is not being used.
Indicates the power level when the internal combustion engine starts. Asolid symbol indicates that the inter-nal combustion engine is being used.
Indicates the power level when the internal combustion engine will start.A hollow symbol indicates that theinternal combustion engine is not
being used.
Indicates that the hybrid battery is being charged, e.g. by lightly press-ing the brake pedal.
Driver-requested powerThe hybrid gauge displays the amount of power requested (utilized) by the driverthrough pressure on the accelerator pedal. Thehigher the reading on the scale, the morepower utilized in the current gear. The markbetween the lightning symbol and the dropsymbol indicates the point at which the com-bustion engine will start.

For example:
The vehicle has been started, but is stationary and no power is being requested.
The electric motor cannot supply the requested power and the internal combustion engine will start.
The vehicle is generating current to recharge the bat- tery, e.g. during light braking or engine braking on adownslope.

Hybrid battery gauge
The hybrid battery gauge shows how much current is left in the hybrid battery.
The current in the hybrid battery is used to power the electric motor, but can also be usedto heat or cool the vehicle. The trip computercalculates an approximate driving distancewith the remaining current in the hybrid bat-tery.

Ambient temperature sensor
The ambient temperature is shown in the instrument panel.
The sensor detects the temperature outside the vehicle.
If the vehicle has been stationary, the sensor reading may be higher than the actual tem- perature.
When the ambient temperature isbetween –5 °C and +2 °C (23 °F
and 36 °F), a snowflake symbol will
illuminate to alert the driver of the
risk of slippery conditions. The symbol is also temporarily lit in the head- up display * if the vehicle is equipped with one.
Change the measurement standard for the temperature sensor etc. via system settings in the center display's Top view.
