Page 15: Reporting Safety Defects
Occupant safety Volvo's concern for safety Safety is Volvo's cornerstone. Our concern dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the production line. Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safety cages, and energy-absorbing impact zones were designed into Volvo vehicles long before it was fashionable or required by government regulation.
Page 16: Reporting Safety Defects
Volvo strongly recommends that if your vehicle is covered under a service campaign, safety or emission recall or similar action, it should be completed as soon as possible. Please check with your local retailer or Volvo Cars of North America, LLC if your vehicle is covered under these conditions.
Page 17 Volvo also believes no child should sit in the front seat of a vehicle. Most states and provinces make it mandatory for occupants of a vehicle to use seat belts.
Page 18: Child Safety
WARNING Never repair the belt yourself; have this work done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician 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 19: Safety In The Passenger Compartment
Warning symbols in the instrument panel As an enhancement to the three-point seat belts, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Volvo's SRS consists of seat belt pretensioners, front airbags, side impact airbags, a front passenger occupant weight sensor, and inflatable curtains.

Page 21 including inflation and deflation of the airbags, takes approximately one fifth of a second. The location of the front airbags is indicated by "SRS AIRBAG" embossed on the steering wheel pad and above the glove compartment, and by decals on both sun visors and on the front and far right side of the dash. The driver's side front airbag is folded and located in the steering wheel hub.
Page 22 This is a normal characteristic and does not indicate fire. Volvo's front airbags use special sensors that are integrated with the front seat buckles. The point at which the airbag deploys is determined by whether or not the seat belt is being used, as well as the severity of the collision.
Page 23 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 passenger-side front airbag.
Page 24 Disabling the passenger's side front airbag 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, and be properly restrained for their size and weight. See...
Page 25 OWS system's function. Volvo recommends that children always be properly restrained in appropriate child restraints in the rear seats. Do not assume that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled unless the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is lit. Make sure the child restraint is properly installed. If there is any doubt as to the status of the passenger's side front airbag, move the child restraint to the rear seat.
Page 26 Modifications If you are considering modifying your vehicle in any way to accommodate a disability, for example by altering or adapting the driver's or front passenger's seat(s) and/or airbag systems, please contact Volvo at: In the USA: Volvo Cars of North America, LLC Customer Care Center P.O.
Page 27 Side impact airbags - front seats only As an enhancement to the structural side impact protection built into your vehicle, it is also equipped with Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags. The SIPS airbag system is designed to help increase occupant protection in the event of certain side impact collisions. The SIPS airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side-impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact.
Page 28 Safety in the passenger compartment Volvo Inflatable Curtain (VIC) The Volvo Inflatable Curtain system 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 29 Never try to open or repair any components of the VIC system. This should be done only by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. Never hang heavy items from the ceiling handles. This could impede deployment of the Inflatable Curtain.
Page 30 If your vehicle has been involved in a rear-end collision, the front seat backrests must be inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician, even if the seats appear to be undamaged. Certain components in the WHIPS system may need to be replaced.
Page 31: Crash Mode
Never attempt to repair the vehicle yourself or to reset the electrical system after the vehicle has displayed SAFETY MODE SEE MANUAL. This could result in injury or improper system function. Restoring the vehicle to normal operating status should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
Page 32: Child Safety
Even if the vehicle appears to be drivable after Safety mode has been set, it should not be driven or towed (pulled by another vehicle). There may be concealed damage that could make it difficult or impossible to control. The vehicle should be transported on a flatbed tow truck to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for inspection/repairs. 01 Safety...

Page 34: Child Restraint Systems
Volvo's recommendations Why does Volvo believe that no child should sit in the front seat of a vehicle? It's quite simple really. A front airbag is a very powerful device designed, by law, to help protect an adult.
Page 35: Infant Seats
A small child's head represents a considerable part of its total weight and its neck is still very weak. Volvo recommends that children up to age 4 travel, properly restrained, facing rearward. In addition, Volvo recommends that children should ride rearward facing, properly restrained, as long as possible.
Page 36 Securing an infant seat with a seat belt NOTE Refer to pages 42-43 for information on securing a child restraint using ISOFIX lower anchors and/or top tether anchorages. 1. Place the infant seat in the rear seat of the vehicle. 2.

Page 154: Adaptive Cruise Control-Acc
04 Comfort and driving pleasure Adaptive Cruise Control-ACC WARNING Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver is always responsible for applying the brakes if the system does not detect another vehicle. Adaptive cruise control does not react to slow moving or stationary vehicles. The distance to the vehicle ahead (in the same lane) is measured by a radar sensor.
Page 155 Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light contrasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver is not looking straight ahead may make the visual warning signal in the windshield difficult to see. WARNING Cruise control only warns of vehicles detected by the radar sensor, see page 160.
Page 156 The "car" symbol illuminates on the left side of the display when the radar sensor detects another vehicle ahead. The distance to a vehicle ahead is only regulated when this symbol is illuminated. Adjusting the set speed After a speed has been set, it can be increased or decreased by using the buttons.

2 0 0 8 VOLVO 06 Maintenance and specifications Wheels and tires Introduction Your vehicle is equipped with tires according to the vehicle's tire information placard on the B-pillar (the structural member at the side of the vehicle, at the rear of the driver's door opening).
Page 229 WARNING The wheel and tire sizes for your Volvo are specified to meet stringent stability and handling requirements. Unapproved wheel/tire size combinations can negatively affect your vehicle's stability and handling. Approved tire sizes are shown in the Tire inflation pressure tables beginning on page 240.
Page 230 Unbalanced wheels impair tire economy and driving comfort. Tires must maintain the same direction of rotation throughout their lifetime. When replacing tires, the tires with the most tread should be mounted on the rear wheels to reduce the chance of oversteer during hard braking.
Page 231 When weather temperature changes occur, tire inflation pressures also change. A 10-degree temperature drop causes a corresponding drop of 1 psi (7 kPa) in inflation pressure. Check your tire pressures frequently and adjust them to the proper pressure, which can be found on the vehicle's tire information placard or certification label. Checking tire pressure Cold tires Inflation pressure should be checked when the tires are cold.
Page 232 Wheels and tires Tire inflation pressure table - U.S. models The following tire pressures are recommended by Volvo for your vehicle. Refer to the tire inflation placard for information specific to the tires installed on your vehicle at the factory.
Page 233: Wheels And Tires
Wheels and tires Tire inflation pressure table - Canadian models The following tire pressures are recommended by Volvo for your vehicle. Refer to the tire inflation placard for information specific to the tires installed on your vehicle at the factory.
Page 234 The tire pressure monitoring system uses sensors mounted in the tire valves to check inflation pressure levels. When the vehicle is moving at a speed of approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) or faster, these sensors transmit inflation pressure data to a receiver located in the vehicle. NOTE USA - FCC ID: KR5S122780002 This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.

20 mph (30 km/h) or faster to erase the message. Volvo recommends that TPMS sensors be fitted on all wheels used on the vehicle. Volvo does not recommend moving sensors back and forth between sets of wheels.
Page 236 Self supporting run flat tires Certain models equipped with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) can also be equipped with self supporting run flat tires. Tires of this type have specially reinforced sidewalls that make it possible to continue driving in the event of a drop in inflation pressure.
Page 237 illustration). The following information is listed on the tire sidewall: The tire designation (the following figures are examples of a tire designation): 1. 215: the width of the tire (in millimeters) from sidewall edge to sidewall edge. The larger the number, the wider the tire.
Page 238 This limit is set by the tire manufacturer. Recommended tire inflation pressure: inflation pressure, established by Volvo, which is based on the type of tires that are mounted on a vehicle at the factory. This inflation pressure is affected by the number of occupants in the vehicle, the amount of cargo, and the speed at which the vehicle will be driven for a prolonged period.
Page 239 For trailer towing information, please refer to the section "Towing a trailer" on page 201. Permissible axle weight The maximum allowable weight that can be carried by a single axle (front or rear). These numbers are shown on the Federal/Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS/CMVSS) label. The total load on each axle must never exceed its maximum permissible weight.
Page 240 06 Maintenance and specifications Wheels and tires Snow chains, snow tires, studded tires Snow chains Snow chains can be used on your Volvo with the following restrictions: Snow chains should be installed on front wheels only. Use only Volvo approved snow chains.
Page 241 Recommended tire pressure (see the placard on the B-pillar or on the fuel filler door) should be maintained irrespective of which position on the vehicle the temporary spare tire is used on. In the event of damage to this tire, a new one can be purchased from your Volvo retailer.
Page 242 Incorrectly mounted tires impair the car's braking properties and ability to force aside rain, snow and slush. The tires with the most tread should always be at the rear (to reduce the risk of skidding). Contact a Volvo workshop if you are unsure about the tread depth. Tire rotation Your vehicle has no recommended tire rotation.
Page 243 Suspension wear diagnostics Every suspension needs periodic inspection and maintenance. A tire's wear pattern can be an aid in detecting a suspension problem. Each tire, if left in place, tells a story about the suspension. Tire rotation, on the other hand, could make suspension wear harder to detect.
Page 244 3. Undo the retaining bolt. 4. Lift out the foam block with tools. 5. Lift out the spare wheel. The other two blocks can remain in the wheel well. After use The foam block and spare wheel must be replaced in the reverse order. Note the arrow on the upper foam block. It should point forward.
Page 245 positioned in the attachment. 7. Raise the vehicle until the wheel to be changed is lifted off the ground. 8. Unscrew the wheel nuts completely and carefully remove the wheel so as not to damage the threads on the studs. 9.
Page 246 Tire sealing system Certain models are equipped with a tire sealing system that enables you to temporarily seal a hole in the tread surface and reinflate a flat tire, or to adjust a tire's inflation pressure. The system consists of an air compressor, a container for the sealing compound, wiring to connect the system to the vehicle's electrical system via one of the 12-volt sockets, and a hose used to connect the system to the tire's inflation valve.

If irritation persists, get medical attention Certain markets only.
Page 249 06 Maintenance and specifications Wheels and tires Tire sealing system-temporarily repairing a flat tire Temporarily repairing a flat tire is done in two stages: Stage 1: The hole is sealed by pumping sealing compound into the tire. The car is then driven a short distance to distribute the sealing compound in the tire.
Page 250 The bottle is equipped with a catch to keep it securely in place and help prevent sealing compound leakage. Once in place, the bottle cannot be unscrewed. This must be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. 7. Remove the valve cap from the tire's inflation valve and screw the tire sealing system's hose connector onto the valve as tightly as possible by hand.
Page 251 The empty bottle of sealing compound cannot be removed from the bottle holder. Consult a trained and qualified Volvo service technician to have the bottle removed and properly disposed of. WARNING If heavy vibrations, unsteady steering behavior, or noises should occur while driving, reduce speed and park the vehicle in a safe place.
