  • Page 9: 01 Safety

    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 10: Seat Belts

    Using seat belts Volvo, the inventor of the three-point seat belt, urges you and all occupants of your vehicle 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 11 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 12 The seat belt should always be worn during pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in the correct way. The diagonal section should wrap over the shoulder then be routed between the breasts and to the side of the belly. The lap section should lay flat over the thighs and as low as possible under the belly.

  • Page 13: Supplemental Restraint System

    Supplemental Restraint System Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) 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 tensioners, front airbags, side impact airbags, the occupant weight sensor, and inflatable curtains.

  • Page 14: Front Airbags

    Volvo service technician as soon as possible. Never try to repair any component or part of the SRS yourself. Any interference in the system could cause malfunction and serious injury. All work on these systems should be performed by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
  • Page 15 As the movement of the seats' occupants compresses the airbags, some of the gas is expelled at a controlled rate to provide better cushioning. Both seat belt tensioners also deploy, minimizing seat belt slack. The entire process, 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"...
  • Page 16 70% of their total capacity. If the impact is more severe, the dual-stage airbags are triggered at full capacity. Should you have questions about any component in the SRS system, please contact a trained and qualified Volvo service technician or Volvo Customer Support:...
  • Page 17 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 18: Occupant Weight Sensor

    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 rear seat of any vehicle with a passenger's side front airbag, and be properly restrained. Children should always be seated in child restraints appropriate for their size and weight.
  • Page 19 (see the following table). Volvo recommends that children always be properly restrained in appropriate child restraints in the rear seats. In rare situations when the seat belt is not properly fastened, some child restraints may not be detected by the OWS because there is very little weight on the vehicle seat cushion.
  • Page 20 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 21: Side Impact Protection Airbags

    Keep the following points in mind with respect to the OWS system. Failure to follow these instructions could adversely affect the system's function and result in serious injury to the occupant of the front passenger's seat: The full weight of the front seat passenger should always be on the seat cushion. The passenger should never lift him/herself off the seat cushion using the armrest in the door or the center console, by pressing the feet on the floor, by sitting on the edge of the seat cushion, or by pressing against the backrest in a way that reduces pressure on the seat cushion.

    Never try to open or repair any components of the SIPS airbag system. This should be done only by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

    If ROPS has deployed, the system should be inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. WARNING The rear seat of the Volvo C70 is intended for two occupants, and only two rear seat belts are provided. The center section of the seat should never be used to seat a passenger.

  • Page 26: Child Safety

    Even if the vehicle appears to be drivable after CRASH 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.
  • Page 27 Please check local regulations. A specially designed and tested booster cushion (not available in Canada) can be obtained from your Volvo retailer for children weighing 33 - 80 lb. (15 - 36 kg) and 38-54 inches (97 - 137 cm) in height.

  • Page 28: Child Restraint Systems

    Volvo's recommendations Why does Volvo believe that no child should sit in the front seat of a car? It's quite simple really. A front airbag is a very powerful device designed, by law, to help protect an adult.
  • Page 29 Child restraints There are three main types of child restraint systems: infant seats, convertible seats, and booster cushions. They are classified according to the child's age and size. The following section provides general information on securing a child restraint using a three-point seat belt. Refer to page 40 for information on securing a child restraint using ISOFIX lower anchors.

  • Page 30: 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 31 Refer to page 40 for information on securing a child restraint using ISOFIX lower anchors. 1. Place the infant seat in the rear seat of the vehicle. WARNING An infant seat must be in the rear-facing position only. The infant seat should not be positioned behind the driver's seat unless there is adequate space for safe installation. 2.

  • Page 32: Convertible Seats

    4. Pull the shoulder section of the seat belt out as far as possible to activate the belt's automatic locking function. 5. Press the infant seat firmly in place, let the seat belt retract and pull it taut. A sound from the seat belt retractor's automatic locking function will be audible at this time and is normal.
  • Page 33 WARNING 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.

    WARNING A child seat should never be used in the front passenger seat of any vehicle with a front passenger airbag - not even if the "Passenger airbag off" symbol near the rear-view mirror is illuminated (on vehicles equipped with Occupant Weight Sensor).

  • Page 36: Isofix Lower Anchors

    WARNING The hip section of the three-point seat belt must fit snugly across the child's hips, not across the stomach. The shoulder section of the three-point seat belt should be positioned across the chest and shoulder. The shoulder belt must never be placed behind the child's back or under the arm. 01 Safety ISOFIX lower anchors Using the ISOFIX lower child seat anchors...
