Page 16: 01 Safety
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 cars long before it was fashionable or required by government regulation.
Page 17 If you believe your vehicle has a defect that could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform Trans- port Canada in addition to notifying Volvo Cars of Canada Corp. To contact Transport Canada, call (800) 333-0510, or (613) 993-9851 if you are calling from the Ottawa region.
Page 18: Seat Belts
Children should be prop- erly restrained, using an infant, car, or booster seat determined by age, weight and height. 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 19 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 avail- able to you in the event of a collision.
Page 20 01 Safety Seat belts steering wheel). Within this context, they should strive to position the seat with as large a distance as possible between their belly and the steering wheel. Child seats Please refer to page 37 for information on securing child seats with the seat belts.
Page 21: Supplemental Restraint System
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) SRS warning light As an enhancement to the three-point seat belts, your Volvo is equipped with a Supple- mental Restraint System (SRS). Volvo's SRS consists of seat belt pretensioners, front air- bags, side impact airbags, the occupant weight sensor, and inflatable curtains.
Page 22 01 Safety Supplemental Restraint System The front airbag system The front airbags supplement the three-point seat belts. For these airbags to provide the protection intended, seat belts must be worn at all times. The front airbag system includes gas genera- tors surrounded by the airbags, and decelera- tion sensors that activate the gas generators, causing the airbags to be inflated with nitrogen...
Page 23 This is a normal characteristic and does not indicate fire. • Volvo's front airbags use special sen- sors that are integrated with the front seat buckles. The point at which the air- bag deploys is determined by whether or not the seat belt is being used, as well as the severity of the collision.

Disabling the passenger's side front airbag Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) indicator light Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the rear seat of any vehi- cle with a passenger's side front airbag, and be properly restrained.
Page 27 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.

Page 29: Side Impact Protection Airbags
Never try to open or repair any compo- nents of the SIPS airbag system. This should be done only by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. • In order for the SIPS airbag to provide its best protection, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright posi- tion with the seat belt properly fastened.

01 Safety 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.
Page 31 01 Safety Volvo Inflatable Curtain (VIC) WARNING In order for the VIC to provide its best pro- tection, all occupants of the vehicle should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened; adults using the seat belt and children using the proper child restraint system.
Page 32: Whiplash Protection System
• If your car 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.
Page 33 Certain components in the WHIPS sys- tem may need to be replaced. • Do not attempt to service any compo- nent in the WHIPS system yourself. WARNING Any contact between the front seat backr- ests and the folded rear seat could impede the function of the WHIPS system.

Page 35: Child Safety
Children should be seated safely Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint systems for all occupants including children. Remember that, regardless of age and size, a child should always be properly restrained in a car. Your car is also equipped with ISOFIX/LATCH attachments, which make it more convenient to install child seats.
Page 36 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 37: Child Restraint Systems
Child restraints Infant seat There are three main types of child restraint systems: infant seats, convertible seats, and booster cushions. They are classified accord- ing to the child's age and size. The following section provides general infor- mation on securing a child restraint using a three-point seat belt.
Page 38 • A small child's head represents a con- siderable part of its total weight and its neck is still very weak. Volvo recom- mends that children up to age 4 travel, properly restrained, facing rearward. In addition, Volvo recommends that chil- dren should ride rearward facing, prop- erly restrained, as long as possible.
Page 39: Infant Seats

NOTE The locking retractor will automatically release when the seat belt is unbuckled and allowed to retract fully.
Page 41: Convertible Seats
WARNING A small child's head represents a consider- able part of its total weight and its neck is still very weak. Volvo recommends that chil- dren up to age 4 travel, properly restrained, facing rearward. In addition, Volvo recom- mends that children should ride rearward facing, properly restrained, as long as pos- sible.
Page 42 01 Safety Convertible seats Fasten the seat belt 2. Attach the seat belt to the convertible seat according to the manufacturer's instruc- tions. 3. Fasten the seat belt by inserting the latch plate into the buckle (lock) until a distinct click is audible.

Page 46: Child Restraint Registration And Recalls
01 Safety Child restraint registration and recalls Registering a child restraint Child restraints could be recalled for safety reasons. You must register your child restraint to be reached in a recall. To stay informed about child safety seat recalls, be sure to fill out and return the registration card that comes with new child restraints.

Page 188: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (Tpms)
07 Wheels and tires Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Introduction The tire pressure monitoring system uses sen- sors mounted in the tire valves to check infla- tion 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.
Page 189 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. 07 Wheels and tires Volvo does not recommend moving sen- sors back and forth between sets of wheels.
