WARNING!
- Never try to open, remove, or repair any components in the OWS system. This could result in
system malfunction. Maintenance or repairs should only be carried out by an a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician.
- The front passenger's seat should not be modified in any way. This could reduce pressure on the seat
cushion, which might interfere with the OWS system's function.
WARNING!
- No objects that add to the total weight on the seat should be placed on the front passenger's seat. If a
child is seated in the front passenger's seat with any additional weight, this extra weight could cause
the OWS system to enable the airbag, which might cause it to deploy in the event of a collision,
thereby injuring the child.
- The seat belt should never be wrapped around an object on the front passenger's seat. This could
interfere with the OWS system's function.
- The front passenger's seat belt should never be used in a way that exerts more pressure on the
passenger than normal.
This could increase the pressure exerted on the weight sensor by a child, and could result in the airbag
being enabled, which might cause it to deploy in the event of a collision, thereby injuring the child.
