or center console, by pushing their feet

The passenger must never sit on the side
•
of the seat cushion, slide forward on the
seat cushion or fold the backrest to a lying
position.
The passenger must never wear wet or
•
thick clothing, e.g. ski wear or padded gar-
ments.
Never place any objects between the pas-
•
senger and the seat cushion, e.g. pillows,
heating blankets or ordinary blankets, seat
liners or mats.
Never place a radio transmitter (e.g. hunt-
•
ing radio or walkie-talkie) or device that is
being charged (e.g. cellular phone, tablet
or computer) on or under the seat cushion.
Never let anyone sitting on the passenger

WARNING
Failure to follow the above instructions
could adversely affect the Occupant Classi-
fication System functions and result in
death or serious injury.
If a person of adult size is sitting in the front
passenger's seat, but the OCS indicator lamp
is on, it is possible that the person isn't sitting
properly in the seat.
If this occurs, turn off the vehicle and ask the
person to follow the above instructions for
accurate classification. Restart the vehicle and
have the person remain in this position for
about two minutes. This will allow the system
to detect that person and enable the passeng-
er's frontal airbag.
If the OCS indicator lamp remains on even
after this, the person should be advised to ride
in the rear seat.
This may indicate restrictions in the OCS clas-
sification ability, e.g. that the person is too
light to be classified as an adult. It does not
need to indicate an OCS error.
Classification of child
Volvo follows NHTSA's recommendations and
recommends that ALL children up to and
including 12 years of age sit in the rear seat.
This is strongly recommended for children in
rear-facing child seats.
If a child in a child restraint is placed in the
front passenger seat, the child restraint must
be installed according to the manufacturer's
instructions to help ensure accurate classifica-
tion.
Remember the following if a child in a child
seat sits in the front passenger seat:
Never place any items or accessories on
•
the passenger seat, between the child
seat and the seat cushion or near to the
seat cushion.
Never place a radio transmitter (e.g. hunt-
•
ing radio or walkie-talkie) or device that is
being charged (e.g. cellular phone, tablet
or computer) on the seat cushion. Never
let anyone sitting on the passenger seat
use a radio transmitter or device that is
being charged.
Never place wet clothing or fluids on the
•
passenger seat.
Always correctly position the child seat so
•
that the entire lower section of the child
seat rests against the seat cushion.
Always place a front-facing child seat as
•
far back as possible against the seat back.
WARNING
Failure to follow the above instructions
could adversely affect the Occupant Classi-
fication System functions and result in
death or serious injury.
