Safety during pregnancy
It is important that seat belts are worn cor- rectly during pregnancy and that pregnantdrivers adjust their seating position accord-ingly.
Seat belt
The seat belt should fit closely against the shoulder, with the diagonal section betweenthe breasts and to the side of the stomach. The lap section of the seat belt should lie flat over the thighs and as far as possible underthe stomach. Never let it ride upward. Removeunnecessary slack and make sure the seat beltfits as close as possible to the body. Makesure there are no twists in the seat belt.
Seating positionAs pregnancy progresses, pregnant driversshould adjust the seat and steering wheel to a position that allows them to retain full controlof the vehicle (which means they should beable to easily reach the steering wheel andfoot pedals). Try to maintain as much distanceas possible between the stomach and thesteering wheel.

Occupant safety
Safety is Volvo's cornerstone.
Volvo's concern for safetyOur concern for safety dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the productionline. Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention),safety cages, and energy-absorbing impactzones were designed into Volvo vehicles longbefore it was fashionable or required by gov-ernment regulation. We will not compromise our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safetyfeatures and to refine those already in ourvehicles. You can help. We would appreciatehearing your suggestions about improvingautomobile safety. We also want to know ifyou ever have a safety concern with your vehi-cle. Call us in the U.S. at: 1-800-458-1552 orin Canada at: 1-800-663-8255.

and improves the effect of other safety sys- tems such as the airbags. When a critical situation has passed, the seat belt and the electric seat belt tensioner arereset automatically. However, they can also bereset manually.
WARNING
Never attempt to alter or repair the seat belt on your own. Volvo recommends con-tacting an authorized Volvo workshop. If the seat belt has been exposed to extreme forces, e.g. in conjunction with acollision, the entire seat belt must bereplaced. Even if the seat belt appearsundamaged, some of its protective proper-ties may have been lost. Also replace theseat belt if it is worn or damaged. The newseat belt must be type approved andintended for the same seating position asthe replaced seat belt.

The front airbag systemThe front airbag system includes gas genera- tors surrounded by the airbags, and decelera-tion sensors that activate the gas generators,causing the airbags to be inflated with nitro-gen gas. As the movement of the seats' occupants compresses the airbags, some of the gas isexpelled at a controlled rate to provide bettercushioning. The belt tensioners minimize slackin the seat belts and are activated for occu-pants wearing their seat belts. The entire proc-ess, from inflation to deflation of the airbag,occurs within tenths of a second. The location of the front airbags is indicated by SRS AIRBAG embossed on the steering
wheel pad and above the glove compartment,and by decals on both sun visors and on thefront and far right side of the dash. The driver's side front airbag is folded and
located in the steering wheel hub.The knee airbag is folded on the underside of
the dashboard on the driver's side. The text AIRBAG is embossed on the panel.
The passenger's side front airbag is folded
behind a panel located above the glove com-partment.WARNING
The airbags in the vehicle are designed to be a SUPPLEMENT to-not areplacement for-the three-point seatbelts. For maximum protection, wearseat belts at all times. Be aware that nosystem can prevent all possible injuriesthat may occur in an accident.
Never drive with your hands on thesteering wheel pad/airbag housing.
The front airbags are designed to helpprevent serious injury. Deploymentoccurs very quickly and with considera-ble force. During normal deploymentand depending on variables such asseating position, one may experienceabrasions, bruises, swellings, or otherinjuries as a result of deployment ofone or both of the airbags.
When installing any accessory equip-ment, make sure that the front airbagsystem is not damaged. Any interfer-ence in the system could cause mal-function.
Front airbag deployment
The front airbags are designed to deployduring certain frontal or front-angular colli-sions, impacts, or decelerations, depend-ing on the crash severity, angle, speed andobject impacted. The airbags may also deploy in certain non-frontal collisionswhere rapid deceleration occurs.
The airbag system's sensors, which triggerthe front airbags, are designed to deter-mine if the collision is powerful enough toactivate the belt tensioners and/or the air-bags.
However, not all frontal collisions activate thefront airbags. If the collision involves a nonrigid object (e.g., a snow drift or bush), or a rigid, fixedobject at a low speed, the front airbagswill not necessarily deploy.
Front airbags do not normally deploy in aside impact collision, in a collision fromthe rear or in a rollover situation.
The amount of damage to the bodyworkdoes not reliably indicate if the airbagsshould have deployed or not.
