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 cars long before it was fashionable or required by government
regulation.
We will not compromise our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safety features and to
refine those already in our cars. You can help. We would appreciate hearing your suggestions about
improving automobile safety. We also want to know if you ever have a safety concern with your car.
Call us in the U.S. at: 1-800-458-1552 or in Canada at: 1-800-663-8255.
