WARNING
Keep the following points in mind with respect to the OWS system. Failure tofollow these instructions couldadversely affect the system's functionand result in serious injury to the occu-pant of the front passenger's seat.
The full weight of the front seat pas-senger should always be on the seatcushion. The passenger should neverlift him/herself off the seat cushionusing the armrest in the door or thecenter console, by pressing the feet onthe floor, by sitting on the edge of theseat cushion, or by pressing againstthe backrest in a way that reducespressure on the seat cushion. Thiscould cause OWS to disable the front,passenger's side airbag.
WARNING
Do not place any type of object on the front passenger's seat in such a waythat jamming, pressing, or squeezingoccurs between the object and thefront seat, other than as a direct resultof the correct use of the AutomaticLocking Retractor/Emergency LockingRetractor (ALR/ELR) seat belt.
No objects should be placed under thefront passenger's seat. This could inter-fere with the OWS system's function.

Driver/passenger side front airbags (p. 56)
Side airbags
The side airbags, on the driver's and passen- ger sides, protect the chest and hip in a colli-sion.
The side airbags are located in the front seats' outer backrest frames and help protect thedriver and front seat passenger. A collision of a sufficiently violent force will trigger the sensors and one or more side air-bags will inflate. The side airbags inflate between the seat occupant and the door panel to help cushion the initial impact of the colli- sion. The airbag deflates when compressed by the collision. The side airbags are normally only deployed on the side of the vehicle impacted by the collision.

WARNING
Volvo recommends contacting an author- ized Volvo workshop for repairs. Incorrectlyperformed repairs to the side airbag sys-tem could impair function and lead to seri-ous injury.
WARNING
Do not place any objects in the area between the outer edges of the seats andthe door panels, as this could impair thefunction of the side airbags. Volvo recommends only using seat covers approved by Volvo. Other seat covers couldprevent the side airbags from functioningproperly.
WARNING
The side airbag is a supplement to the seat belt. Always wear your seat belt.

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 beingejected 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- ries 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."

SAFETY
* Option/accessory.69
WARNING
When not in use, keep the child restraint system secured or remove itfrom the passenger compartment tohelp prevent it from injuring passen-gers in the event of a sudden stop orcollision.
A small child's head represents a con-siderable part of its total weight and itsneck is still very weak. Volvo recom-mends that children up to age 4 travel,properly restrained, facing rearward. Inaddition, Volvo recommends that chil-dren should ride rearward facing, prop-erly restrained, as long as possible.
NOTE
Prolonged installation and use of the child restraint may damage the vehicle's interior.Volvo recommends using the kick guardaccessory to help protect the vehicle'sinterior.
Automatic Locking Retractor/ Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR)
To make child seat installation easier, each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equip-ped with a locking mechanism to help keepthe seat belt taut.
When attaching the seat belt to a child seat:
1. Attach the seat belt to the child seat
according to the child seat manufacturer's instructions.
2. Pull the seat belt out as far as possible.
3. Insert the seat belt latch plate into the buckle (lock) in the usual way.
4. Release the seat belt and pull it taut around the child seat.
A sound from the seat belt retractor will be audible at this time and is normal. The belt willnow be locked in place. This function is auto-matically disabled when the seat belt isunlocked and the belt is fully retracted.
WARNING
Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the frontpassenger's seat. We also recommend thatchildren who have outgrown these devicessit in the rear seat with the seat belt prop-erly fastened.
Child restraint registration and recallsChild restraints could be recalled for safety reasons. You must register your child restraintto be reached in a recall.

Integrated booster cushion *1
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.
