Page 9 Seat belts Not wearing a seat belt is like believing "It'll never happen to me!" Volvo, the inventor of the three-point seat belt, urges you and all occupants of your car to wear seat belts and ensure that children are properly restrained, using an infant, car or booster seat determined by age, weight and height.
Page 10 2004 Volvo S60 The seat belts are equipped with tensioners that reduce slack in the seat belts. These tensioners are triggered in situations where the airbags deploy. The front seat belts also include a tension reducing device which, in the event of a collision, limits the peak forces exerted by the seat belt on the occupant.
Page 11 Never repair the belt on your own; have this work done by an authorized Volvo retailer only. Any device used to induce slack into the shoulder belt portion of the three-point belt system will have a detrimental effect on the amount of protection available to you in the event of a collision.
Page 12 Airbags (Supplemental Restraint System) Driver's side airbag As an enhancement to the three-point seat belt system, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) to complement the three-point seat belt system. The inflatable airbag is installed folded up in the center of the steering wheel. The wheel is embossed with SRS.
Page 13 2004 Volvo S60 WARNING! Never drive an SRS equipped car with your hands on the steering wheel pad / airbag housing. Passenger side airbag The airbag on the front passenger side is folded up in a compartment above the glove compartment. The panel is embossed SRS.
Page 14 When installing any optional equipment, make sure that the SRS system is not damaged. Do not attempt to service any component of the SRS yourself. Attempting to do so may result in serious personal injury. If a problem arises, take your car to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for inspection as soon as possible.
Page 15 Airbags (Supplemental Restraint System) (Contd) WARNING! Children must never be allowed in the front passenger's seat. Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seat of any vehicle with a front passenger-side airbag.
Page 16 WARNING! If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it comes on while you are driving, drive the car to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for inspection as soon as possible. pg. 7 Safety NOTE: The information on this page does not pertain to the Side Impact Protection System airbags.
Page 17 Seat belts - the heart of the Volvo safety system The heart of the Volvo safety system is the three-point seat belt (a Volvo invention)! In order for the SRS system to provide the protection intended, seat belts must be worn at all times by everyone in the car.
Page 18 There is no maintenance to perform on the SRS yourself. The month and year shown on the decal on the door pillar indicate when you should contact your Volvo retailer for specific servicing or replacement of airbags and seat belt tensioners. This service must be performed by an authorized Volvo retailer.
Page 19 As an enhancement to the three-point seat belt system, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). The Volvo SRS consists of an airbag (2) on both the driver's and passenger's sides and seat belt tensioners in both front door pillars. The system is designed to supplement the protection provided by the three-point seat belt system.
Page 20 2004 Volvo S60 WARNING! The SRS is designed to help prevent serious injury. Deployment occurs very quickly and with considerable force. During normal deployment and depending on variables such as seating position, one may experience abrasions, bruises, swellings, or other injuries as a result of airbag(s) deployment.
Page 21 Never try to open or repair any components of the SIPS airbag system. This should be done only by an authorized Volvo service technician. In order for the SIPS airbag to provide its best protection, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened.

Page 23 2004 Volvo S60 pg. 12 Safety Inflatable Curtain (IC) Volvo Inflatable Curtain (VIC) This system consists of inflatable curtains located along the sides of the roof liners, stretching from the center of both front side windows to the rear edge of the rear side door windows. It is designed to help protect the heads of the occupants of the front seats and the occupant of the outboard rear seating positions in certain side impact collisions.
Page 24 The year and month specified on the decal in the door pillar( s) is the date when you should contact your Volvo retailer to inspect and, if necessary, replace the airbags and seat belt tensioners. If you have any questions concerning either system, contact an authorized Volvo retailer.
Page 25 2004 Volvo S60 pg. 14 Safety WHIPS Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) - front seats only The WHIPS system consists of specially designed hinges and brackets on the front seat backrests and file:///K|/ownersdocs/2004/2004_S60/04s60_01b.htm (3 of 10)12/30/2006 4:30:05 PM...
Page 26 If your car has been involved in a collision, the front seat backrests must be inspected by an authorized Volvo retailer even if the seats appear to be undamaged. Certain components in the WHIPS system may need to be replaced. Do not attempt to service any component in the WHIPS system yourself.
Page 27: Child Safety
16 Safety Child safety Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint systems for all occupants including children. Remember that, regardless of age and size, a child should always be properly restrained in a car. Your car is also equipped with ISOFIX attachments, which make it more convenient to install child seats...
Page 28 A specially designed and tested booster cushion (not available in Canada) for children between the age of 3 and approximately 10 years, weighing 33 - 80 lbs (15 - 36 kg) and 38 - 54 inches (97 - 137 cm) in height, can be obtained from your Volvo retailer. WARNING! Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat.
Page 29 Child restraint anchorages Child restraint anchorages Volvo cars are equipped with child restraint top tether anchorages in the rear seat. Refer to the child seat manufacturer's instructions for information on securing the child seat. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2004/2004_S60/04s60_01b.htm (7 of 10)12/30/2006 4:30:05 PM...

Page 31 Because of the size of the airbag and its speed of inflation, a child should never be placed in the front seat, even if he or she is properly belted or strapped into a child safety seat. Volvo has been an innovator in safety for over fifty years, and we'll continue to do our part.
