2002 Volvo C70 Coupe & Convertible
NOTE:
Deployment of SRS components occurs only one time during an accident. In a collision where
deployment occurs, the air bags and seat belt tensioners activate. Some noise occurs and a small amount
of powder is released. The release of the powder may appear as smoke-like matter. This is a normal
characteristic and does not indicate fire.
Volvo's dual-threshold air bags use special sensors that are integrated with the front seat buckles. The
point at which the air bag deploys is determined by whether or not the seat belt is being used, as well as,
the severity of the collision. Collisions can occur where only one of the airbags deploy.
WARNING!
· Children must never be allowed in the front passenger seat. Volvo recommends that ALL occupants
(adults and children) shorter than four feet seven inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seat of any
vehicle with a front passenger side airbag. See
· Occupants in the front passenger's seat must never sit on the edge of the seat, sit leaning toward the
instrument panel or otherwise sit out of position. The occupant's back must be as upright as comfort
allows and be against the seat back with the seat belt properly fastened.
· Feet must be on the floor, e.g. not on the dash, seat or out of the window.
· No objects or accessory equipment, e.g. dash covers, may be placed on, attached to or installed near
the SRS hatch (the area above the glove compartment) or the area affected by airbag deployment (see
illustration).
· There should be no loose articles, e.g. coffee cups, on the floor, seat or dash area.
