Driver/passenger side front airbags
As a supplement to the seat belts, the vehicle is equipped with driver and passenger sidefront airbags.
Driver/passenger side front airbags.
In a frontal collision, the airbags help protect the driver's and passenger's head, neck, faceand chest and the driver's knees and legs. A collision of a sufficiently violent force will trigger the sensors and one or more airbagswill inflate. The airbag helps cushion the initial impact of the collision for the passenger. The airbag deflates when compressed by the colli-sion. A small amount of powder will also bereleased from the airbag. This may appear to be smoke and is normal. The entire process, from inflation to deflation of the airbag, occurswithin tenths of a second.
NOTE
The sensors react differently depending on the circumstances of the accident andwhether or not the seat belt is used. Thisapplies to all belt positions. There may therefore be accident situations in which only one (or none) of the airbagsare deployed. The sensors monitor theimpact of the collision and react accord-ingly to deploy one, several or no airbags.
WARNING
The seat belt and the airbag work together. If the seat belt is not used or is used incor-rectly, the airbag may not provide theintended protection in a collision. To help prevent injury in the event the air- bag is deployed, passengers should sit asupright as possible, with their feet on thefloor and their backs against the seat back-rest.
WARNING
Volvo recommends contacting an author- ized Volvo workshop for repairs. Incorrectlyperformed repairs to the airbag systemcould impair function and lead to seriousinjury.
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.
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
No objects or accessory equipment, e.g. dashboard covers, may be placedon, attached to, or installed near the airbag cover (the area above the glovecompartment) or the area affected byairbag deployment.
There should be no loose articles, suchas coffee cups on the floor, seat, ordashboard area.
Never try to open the airbag cover onthe steering wheel or the passenger'sside dashboard. This should only bedone by a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician.
Failure to follow these instructions canresult in injury to the vehicle's occu-pants.

Occupant weight sensor
The Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) is designed to meet the regulatory require-ments of Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandard (FMVSS) 208 and is designed todisable (will not inflate) the passenger's sidefront airbag under certain conditions.
Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) indicator light
Disabling the passenger's side front airbag
Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 140 cm(4 feet 7 inches) be seated in the back seat ofany vehicle with a front passenger side airbagand be properly restrained for their size andweight. The OWS works with sensors that are part of the front passenger's seat and seat belt. Thesensors are designed to detect the presence of a properly seated occupant and determine ifthe 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 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.
