Page 9 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 11 Using seat belts Not wearing a seat belt is like believing "It'll never happen to me!" 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 12 Tightening the lap belt WARNING! 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 13 2005 Volvo S40 Child seats Please refer to page 35 for information on securing child seats with the seat belts. Seat belt use during pregnancy Pregnant women should always wear seat belts. Remember that the belt should be positioned in such a way as to avoid any possible pressure on the abdomen.
Page 14 Components in the SRS system Front airbags Your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), which consists of front airbags that enhance the three-point seat belt system. The Volvo SRS system includes gas generators (1) surrounded by the airbags (2) and front seat belt tensioners for both of the front seats. To deploy the system, the sensor (3) activates the gas generators causing the airbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas.
Page 15 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 vehicle.

Page 18 2005 Volvo S40 WARNING! Never try to open, remove, or repair any components in the OWS system. This could result in system malfunction. Maintenance or repairs should only be carried out by an authorized Volvo service technician. WARNING! Keep the following points in mind with respect to the OWS system. Failure to follow these...
Page 19 If the airbags have been deployed, we recommend the following: Have the vehicle towed to an authorized Volvo retailer. Never drive with the airbags deployed. Have an authorized Volvo retailer replace the SRS system components.
Page 20 If the safety system warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it comes on while you are driving, drive the vehicle to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for inspection as soon as possible. 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 22 SRS text on inside of both sun visors 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 23 Never try to open the SRS cover on the steering wheel or the passenger's side dashboard. This should only be done by an authorized Volvo service technician. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants.
Page 24 2005 Volvo S40 2 0 0 5 VOLVO pg. 25 Side impact protection (SIPS) airbags Side impact (SIPS) airbag Side impact airbags - front seats only As an enhancement to the structural side impact protection built into your car, the car is also equipped with Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags.
Page 25 Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the occupants of the vehicle in the event of an accident. pg. 26 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 26 The VIC 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 VIC system. This should be done only by an authorized Volvo service technician.
Page 27 2005 Volvo S40 pg. 29 WHIPS WARNING! If the rear seat backrests are folded down, cargo must be secured to prevent it from sliding forward against the front seat backrests in the event of a collision from the rear. This could interfere with the action of the WHIPS system.
Page 28 Even if the car appears to be drivable after COLLISION STATUS 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 car should be transported on a flatbed tow truck to an authorized Volvo workshop for inspection/ repairs.

Page 30 2005 Volvo S40 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 31 33 Child safety 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 32 2005 Volvo S40 Integrated booster cushion Volvo's optional integrated booster cushions are located in the outboard seating positions. These booster cushions have been specially designed to help safeguard a child seated in the rear seat. These seats should be stowed (folded down into the seat cushion) before installing accessory child seats.
Page 33 2. Push the cushion forward/downward. NOTE: Canada only: This cushion may be referred to as a built-in booster cushion. WARNING! The booster cushion should be cleaned while in place in the vehicle if possible. If not, please consult your Volvo retailer. WARNING! DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur Follow all instructions on the booster cushion and in the vehicle's owner's manual.
Page 34 2005 Volvo S40 Child restraint anchorages Volvo cars are equipped with child restraint top tether anchorages in the rear seat. Refer to the child seat manufacturer's instructions for information on securing the child seat. WARNING! Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints.
Page 35 2005 Volvo S40 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. Because of the size of the airbag and its speed of inflation, a child should never be placed in the front seat, even if he or she is properly belted or strapped into a child safety seat.

The following information is listed on the tire sidewall: The tire designation (the following figures are examples of a tire designation): 1.
Page 147 2005 Volvo S40 8. U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number (TIN): This begins with the letters "DOT" and indicates that the tire meets all federal standards. The next two numbers or letters are the plant code where it was manufactured, the next two are the tire size code and the last four numbers represent the week and year the tire was built.
Page 148 This limit is set by the tire manufacturer. Recommended tire inflation pressure: inflation pressure, established by Volvo, which is based on the type of tires that are mounted on a vehicle at the factory. This inflation pressure is affected by the number of occupants in the car, the amount of cargo, and the speed at which the vehicle will be driven for a prolonged period.
