  • Page 6: Seat Belts

    Volvo also believes no child should sit in the front seat of a car.
  • Page 7 Always fasten the seat belts before you drive or ride. A chime will sound several times if the driver's seat belt is not fastened. To buckle: Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle until a distinct click is heard. The seat belt retractor is normally "unlocked"...
  • Page 8 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 9 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 (4). The system is designed to supplement the protection provided by the three-point seat belt system.
  • Page 10 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. pg. 5 Front airbags - SRS A self-diagnostic system incorporated in the sensor monitors the SRS.
  • Page 11 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.
  • Page 12 Collisions can occur where only one of the airbags deploys. NOTE: Volvo's dual-stage airbags: If the impact is less severe, but severe enough to present a clear injury risk, the dual-stage airbags are triggered at just 70% of its total capacity. If the impact is more severe, the dual-stage airbags are triggered with full capacity.
  • Page 13 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. The SRS system is a supplement to the seat belts.
  • Page 14 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 15 This may cause airbag deployment which could result in personal injury. Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer for repairs. pg. 9 Volvo Inflatable Curtain (VIC)
  • Page 16 The IC system is a supplement to the Side Impact Protection System. It is not designed to deploy during collisions from the front or rear of the car or in rollover situations. Never try to open or repair any components of the IC system. This should be done only by an authorized Volvo service technician.
  • Page 17 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.

Speed-sensitive power steering (Option on certain models) With this feature, the steering is most responsive at lower speeds to make parking, driving in city traffic, etc., easier. The effect of the power steering diminishes as you accelerate for greater stability at highway speeds. Weight distribution affects handling At the specified curb weight your car has a tendency to understeer, which means that the steering wheel has to be turned more than might seem appropriate for the curvature of a bend.
