WARNING
Do not squeeze box-like cargo between the rear seat cushion and the front seat back-rest. If the rear seat backrests are folded down, cargo must be secured to prevent it fromsliding forward against the front seat back-rests in the event of a collision.
WARNING
If a rear seat backrest is folded down or if a rear-facing child restraint is being used inthe rear seat, the seat in front must bemoved forward so that it does not comeinto contact with the backrest or childrestraint.
Seating positionFor WHIPS to provide good protection, the driver and passenger must be seated correctlyand the system's function must not be impe-ded in any way. Set the front seat to the correct seating posi- tion before starting to drive. The driver and the front seat passenger should sit in the center of the seat with their heads asclose as possible to the head restraints.

Seat belts
Seat belts should always be worn by all occu- pants in your vehicle. Children should beproperly restrained using an infant seat,adjustable child seat or booster cushion asdetermined by age, weight and height.
Most states and provinces make it mandatory for occupants of a vehicle to use seat belts.
Seat belt maintenanceCheck periodically that the seat belts are ingood condition. Use water and a mild deter-gent for cleaning. Check the seat belt mecha-nism's function as follows: attach the seat beltand pull rapidly on the strap.

2. Buckle the seat belt by pushing the latch
plate into the receptacle.
> A distinct "click" indicates that the beltis locked into place.
WARNING
Always insert the seat belt latch plate into the belt buckle on the correct side. Failureto do so could cause the seat belts and beltbuckles to malfunction in a collision. Thereis a risk of serious injury. 3. The height of the seat belts in the front
seats can be adjusted.
Press the button on the seat belt holder and move the belt up or down. Position the belt as high as possible with- out it chafing against the neck.
The belt should be positioned closely over the shoul- der (against the collarbone, not down over the arm).
4. Tighten the lap section of the seat beltover the hips by pulling the diagonal sec- tion upward toward the shoulder.
The lap section of the seat belt should be positioned low on the hips (not against the abdomen).

NOTE
Deployment of front airbags occurs only one time during an accident. In acollision where deployment occurs, theairbags and seat belt tensioners acti-vate. Some noise occurs and a smallamount of powder is released. Therelease of the powder may appear assmoke-like matter. This is a normalcharacteristic and does not indicatefire.
Volvo's front airbags use special sen-sors that are integrated with the frontseat buckles. The point at which theairbag deploys is determined bywhether or not the seat belt is beingused, as well as the severity of the col-lision.
Collisions can occur where only one ofthe airbags deploys. If the impact isless severe, but severe enough to pres-ent a clear injury risk, the airbags aretriggered at partial capacity. If theimpact is more severe, the airbags aretriggered at full capacity.
WARNING
Do not use child safety seats or child booster 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 withthe seat belt fastened. See also theOccupant Weight Sensor information.
Never drive with the airbags deployed.The fact that they hang out can impairthe steering of your vehicle. Othersafety systems can also be damaged.
The smoke and dust formed when theairbags are deployed can cause skinand eye irritation in the event of pro-longed exposure.

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, achild should always be properly restrained in avehicle. Your vehicle is also equipped with ISOFIX/ LATCH attachments, which make it more con-venient to install child seats. Some restraint systems for children are designed to be secured in the vehicle by lapbelts or the lap portion of a lap-shoulder belt.Such child restraint systems can help protectchildren in vehicles in the event of an accidentonly if they are used properly. However, chil-dren could be endangered in a crash if thechild restraints are not properly secured in thevehicle. Failure to follow the installationinstructions for your child restraint can resultin your child striking the vehicle's interior in asudden stop. Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable substitute for a child restraint system. In anaccident, a child held in a person's arms canbe crushed between the vehicle's interior andan unrestrained person. The child could alsobe injured by striking the interior, or by being ejected from the vehicle during a suddenmaneuver or impact. The same can also hap-pen if the infant or child rides unrestrained onthe seat. Other occupants should also beproperly restrained to help reduce the chanceof injuring or increasing the injury of a child. All states and provinces have legislation gov- erning how and where children should be car-ried in a vehicle. Find out the regulations exist-ing in your state or province. Recent accidentstatistics have shown that children are safer inrear seating positions than front seating posi-tions when properly restrained. A childrestraint system can help protect a child in avehicle. Here's what to look for when selectinga child restraint system: It should have a label certifying that it meets applicable Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandards (FMVSS 213) - or in Canada,CMVSS 213. Make sure the child restraint system is approved for the child's height, weight anddevelopment - the label required by the stand-ard or regulation, or instructions for infantrestraints, typically provide this information. In using any child restraint system, we urge you to carefully look over the instructions thatare provided with the restraint. Be sure youunderstand them and can use the device prop-erly and safely in this vehicle. A misused childrestraint system can result in increased inju-

SAFETY
66ries for both the infant or child and other occu- pants in the vehicle. When a child has outgrown the child safety seat, you should use the rear seat with thestandard seat belt fastened. The best way tohelp protect the child here is to place the childon a cushion so that the seat belt is properlylocated on the hips. Legislation in your state orprovince may mandate the use of a child seator cushion in combination with the seat belt,depending on the child's age and/or size.Please check local regulations. A specially designed and tested booster cush- ion and backrest can be obtained from yourVolvo retailer. See also the article "Integratedbooster cushion."
WARNING
Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the frontpassenger's seat. We also recommendthat children under 140 cm (4 feet7 inches) in height who have outgrownthese devices sit in the rear seat withthe seat belt fastened.
On hot days, the temperature in thevehicle interior can rise very quickly.Exposure to these high temperaturesfor even a short period of time cancause heat-related injury or death.Small children are particularly at risk.Never leave children unattended in avehicle.
Child seats should always be registered.
Volvo's recommendationsWhy does Volvo believe that no child shouldsit in the front seat of a vehicle? It's quite sim-ple really. A front airbag is a very powerfuldevice designed, by law, to help protect anadult. Because of the size of the airbag and its speed of inflation, a child should never be placed inthe front seat, even if he or she is properly bel-ted or strapped into a child safety seat. Volvohas been an innovator in the field of safetysince it was founded. And we have no inten- tion of resting on our laurels. But we needyour help. Please remember to put your chil-dren 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 expi-ration 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 seriousinjuries during certain types of accidents.Volvo recommends that you do not dis-connect the airbag system in your vehicle.
Volvo strongly recommends that everyonein 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 seatof any vehicle with a front passenger sideairbag.

The integrated booster cushions in the rear seat's outboard seating positions help ensurethat children can sit comfortably and safely.
The integrated booster cushion has been spe- cially designed to help safeguard children inthe rear seat when used with the vehicle'sseat belts. The integrated booster cushion inthe rear seat can be folded up to two posi-tions, depending on the child's height. If using a booster cushion does not result in proper positioning of the shoulder strap, thenthe child should be placed in a properlysecured child restraint. The shoulder belt mustnever be placed behind the child's back orunder the arm.
Correct seating position: the seat belt is positioned across the collarbone.
Before driving, make sure that:
the booster cushion is raised to the cor- rect position for the child's weight
the booster cushion is locked into position
the seat belt is taut, in contact with thechild's body and not twisted
the seat belt is not positioned across thechild's throat or below the shoulder
the lap section of the seat belt is placedlow over the child's hips to provide thebest protection.
