Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS)
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.
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 authorized 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.
