A 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. Make sure the child restraint is properly instal-
led. If there is any doubt as to the status of the passeng-
er's side front airbag, move the child restraint to the rear
seat.
The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate)
the passenger's side front airbag in the event
of a collision anytime the system senses that
a person of adult size is sitting properly in the
front passenger's seat. The PASSENGER
AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will be off and
remain off.
