SAFETY 01
01 Safety Occupant safety 01 Volvo's concern for safety Safety is the Volvo 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 energyabsorbing impact zones were designed into Volvo vehicles long before it was fashionable or required by government regulation. We will not compromise our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safety features and to refine those already in our vehicles.
01 Safety Occupant safety 01 Reporting safety defects in Canada If you believe your vehicle has a defect that could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform Transport 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.
01 Safety 01 Seat belts Using seat belts sioners are triggered in situations where the airbags deploy. The front seat belts also include a tension reducing device which, in the event of a collision, limits the peak forces exerted by the seat belt on the occupant. Buckling a seat belt G020104 Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle until a distinct click is heard.
01 Safety Seat belts • Never use a seat belt for more than one occupant. • Never wear the shoulder portion of the belt under the arm, behind the back or otherwise out of position. Such use could cause injury in the event of an accident. • Seat belts lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretching and should be replaced after any collision, even if they appear to be undamaged. • Never repair the belt yourself; have this work done by an authorized Volvo service technician only.
01 Safety 01 Supplemental Restraint System Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) WARNING Where applicable, a text message will also be displayed when the SRS warning light illuminates. If this warning symbol is not functioning properly, the general warning symbol illuminates and a text message will be displayed. WARNING G027284 • SRS warning light As an enhancement to the three-point seat belts, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
01 Safety Front airbags 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 generators surrounded by the airbags, and deceleration sensors that activate the gas generators, causing the airbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas. • The driver's side front airbag is folded and located in the steering wheel hub.
01 Safety 01 Front airbags WARNING • The airbags in the vehicle are designed to be a SUPPLEMENT to–not a replacement for–the three-point seat belts. For maximum protection, wear seat belts at all times. Be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident. • Never drive a vehicle with a steering wheel-mounted airbag with your hands on the steering wheel pad/airbag housing. • • The front airbags are designed to help prevent serious injury.
01 Safety Front airbags Customer Care Center • Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that occupants under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened. • Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can impair the steering of your vehicle. Other safety systems can also be damaged.
01 Safety 01 Front airbags G032525 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. • Occupants in the front passenger's seat must never sit on the edge of the seat, sit leaning toward the instrument panel or otherwise sit out of position.
01 Safety Occupant Weight Sensor Disabling the passenger's side front airbag not inflate) the passenger's side front airbag under certain conditions. The OWS works with sensors that are part of the front passenger's seat and seat belt. The sensors are designed to detect the presence of a properly seated occupant and determine if the passenger's side front airbag should be enabled (may inflate) or disabled (will not inflate).
01 Safety 01 Occupant Weight Sensor WARNING • If a fault in the system is detected and indicated as explained, be aware that the passenger's side front airbag will not deploy in the event of a collision. • In this case, the safety systems and Occupant Weight Sensor should be inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible. illuminate and stay on to remind you that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled (see the following table).
01 Safety Occupant Weight Sensor 4. If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp remains on even after this, the person should be advised to ride in the rear seat. WARNING • This condition reflects limitations of the OWS classification capability. It does not indicate OWS malfunction.
01 Safety 01 Side impact protection airbags WARNING Location of the SIPS airbag Location of the side impact (SIPS) airbag As an enhancement to the structural side impact protection built into your vehicle, the vehicle is also equipped with Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags. The SIPS airbag system is designed to help increase occupant protection in the event of certain side impact collisions.
01 Safety Volvo Inflatable Curtain The Volvo Inflatable Curtain (VIC) 01 However, in certain side impacts, or in a rollover situation, BOTH the Inflatable Curtains and the Side Impact Airbag System (SIPS-bag) will deploy, whereas, in some cases, ONLY the Inflatable Curtain will deploy. In cases where BOTH the Inflatable Curtain and the SIPS-bag deploy, deployment will occur simultaneously. NOTE G027047 G027048 If the Inflatable Curtain deploys, it remains inflated for approximately 5 seconds.
01 Safety 01 Volvo Inflatable Curtain WARNING In order for the VIC to provide its best protection, both front seat occupants and both outboard rear seat occupants 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. Only adults should sit in the front seats. Children must never be allowed in the front passenger seat. See page 34 for guidelines.
01 Safety Whiplash Protection System 01 G020347 Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) – front seats only The Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) consists of specially designed hinges and brackets on the front seat backrests designed to help absorb some of the energy generated in a collision from the rear (when the vehicle is "rearended").
01 Safety 01 Whiplash Protection System WARNING • WARNING Any contact between the front seat backrests and the folded rear seat could impede the function of the WHIPS system. If the rear seat is folded down, the occupied front seats must be adjusted forward so that they do not touch the folded rear seat. Do not attempt to service any component in the WHIPS system yourself.
01 Safety 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 vehicle. Your vehicle is also equipped with ISOFIX/ LATCH attachments, which make it more convenient to install child seats. Some restraint systems for children are designed to be secured in the vehicle by lap belts or the lap portion of a lap-shoulder belt.
01 Safety 01 Child safety Automatic Locking Retractor/ Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/ ELR) Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt properly fastened. To make child seat installation easier, each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with a locking mechanism to help keep the seat belt taut.
01 Safety Child restraint systems 01 Convertible seat G026489 G026503 G026491 Child restraints Booster cushion Infant seat 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.
01 Safety 01 Child restraint systems WARNING 36 • When not in use, keep the child restraint system secured or remove it from the passenger compartment to help prevent it from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop or collision. • 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.
01 Safety Infant seats 01 Positioning the seat belt through the infant seat Do not place the infant seat in the front passenger's seat NOTE Refer to page 43 and page 45 for information on securing a child restraint using ISOFIX lower anchors and/or top tether anchorages. 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. 1.
01 Safety 01 Infant seats WARNING It should not be possible to move the child restraint more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) in any direction. Pull out the shoulder section of the seat belt 4.
