Shiftlock

When your vehicle is parked, the gear selec­tor is locked in the P (Park) position. To
release the selector from this position, the
ignition must be in mode II (see page 86) or
the engine must be running. Depress the
brake pedal, press the button on the front
side of the gear selector and move the selec­tor from P (Park).

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

The ABS system performs a brief self-diag­nostic test when the engine has been started
and driver releases the brake pedal. Another
automatic test may be performed when the
vehicle first reaches a speed of approximately
6 mph (10 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate
several times and a sound may be audible
from the ABS control module. This is normal.

Fuel filler door

Press the button on the light switch panel
(see the illustration on page 280) when the
vehicle is at a standstill to unlock the fuel filler
door. It will relock when closed and there will
be an audible click.

Points to keep in mind

•

Do not export your Volvo to another
country before investigating that coun­try’s applicable safety and exhaust emis­sion requirements. In some cases it may
be difficult or impossible to comply with

these requirements. Modifications to the
emission control system(s) may render
your Volvo not certifiable for legal opera­tion in the U.S., Canada and other coun­tries.

•

All information, illustrations and specifica­tions contained in this manual are based
on the latest product information availa­ble at the time of publication. Please note
that some vehicles may be equipped dif­ferently, depending on special legal
requirements. Optional equipment descri­bed in this manual may not be available in
all markets.

•

Some of the illustrations shown are
generic and may not depict the exact
model for which this manual is intended.

•

Volvo reserves the right to make model
changes at any time, or to change speci­fications or design without notice and
without incurring obligation.

Crash event data

This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR
is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like
situations, such as an air bag deployment or
hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s systems per­formed. The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety sys-

tems for a short period of time, typically 30
seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:

•

How various systems in your vehicle were
operating;

•

Whether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened;

•

How far (if at all) the driver was depress­ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal;
and,

•

How fast the vehicle was traveling.

These data can help provide a better under­standing of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.

NOTE

EDR data are recorded by your vehicle
only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under
normal driving conditions and no personal
data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash
location) are recorded. However, other
parties, such as law enforcement, could
combine the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to

Introduction

Important information

10

the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such
as law enforcement, that have the special
equipment, can read the information if they
have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

Furthermore, your vehicle is equipped with a
number of computers whose task is to con­tinuously control and monitor the vehicle’s
operation. They can also register information
during normal driving conditions if they detect
a fault relating to the vehicle’s operation and
functionality. Some of the stored information
is required by technicians when carrying out
service and maintenance to enable them to
diagnose and rectify any faults that have
occurred in the vehicle and to enable Volvo to
fulfill legal and other regulatory requirements.
This information may be stored in the vehi­cle’s computers for a certain period of time.

Volvo will not contribute to spreading the
above-mentioned information to third parties
without the consent of the vehicle’s owner.
However, due to national legal requirements
and regulations, Volvo may be compelled to
provide information of this type to authorities
such as law enforcement agencies or others
who may assert a legal right to obtain such
information.

Volvo and service and repair facilities with
agreements with Volvo have access to the
special technical equipment required in order

to read and interpret the information stored
by the vehicle’s computers. Volvo is responsi­ble for ensuring that the information transmit­ted to Volvo during service and maintenance
is stored and handled in a secure manner and
that this handling is done in accordance with
applicable legal requirements. For additional
information, contact:

Volvo Structural Parts Statement

Volvo has always been and continues to be a
leader in automotive safety. Volvo engineers
and manufactures vehicles designed to help
protect vehicle occupants in the event of a
collision.

Volvos are designed to absorb the impact of
a collision. This energy absorption system
including, but not limited to, structural com­ponents such as bumper reinforcement bars,
bumper energy absorbers, frames, rails,
fender aprons, A-pillars, B-pillars and body
panels must work together to maintain cabin
integrity and protect the vehicle occupants.

The supplemental restraint system including
but not limited to air bags, side curtain air
bags, and deployment sensors work together
with the above components to provide proper
timing for air bag deployment.

Due to the above, Volvo Cars of North Amer­ica does not support the use of aftermarket,
alternative or anything other than original
Volvo parts for collision repair.

In addition Volvo does not support the use or
re-use of structural components from an
existing vehicle that has been previously
damaged. Although these parts may appear
equivalent, it is difficult to tell if the parts have
been previously replaced with non-OE parts
or if the part has been damaged as a result of

a prior collision. The quality of these used
parts may also have been affected due to
environmental exposure.

Introduction

Environment

Volvo and the environment

Volvo is committed to the well being of its
customers. As a natural part of this commit­ment, we care about the environment in
which we all live. Caring for the environment
means an everyday involvement in reducing
our environmental impact. Volvo’s environ­mental activities are based on a holistic view,
which means we consider the overall environ­mental impact of a product throughout its
complete life cycle. In this context, design,
production, product use, and recycling are all
important considerations. In production,
Volvo has partly or completely phased out
several chemicals including CFCs, lead chro­mates, asbestos, and cadmium; and reduced
the number of chemicals used in our
plants 50% since 1991.

Volvo was the first in the world to introduce
into production a three-way catalytic con­verter with a Lambda sond, now called the
heated oxygen sensor, in 1976. The current
version of this highly efficient system reduces
emissions of harmful substances (CO, HC,
NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately
95 – 99% and the search to eliminate the
remaining emissions continues. Volvo is the
only automobile manufacturer to offer CFC­free retrofit kits for the air conditioning system
of all models as far back as the 1975
model 240. Advanced electronic engine con-

trols and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer
to our goal. In addition to continuous environ­mental refinement of conventional gasoline­powered internal combustion engines, Volvo
is actively looking at advanced technology
alternative-fuel vehicles.

When you drive a Volvo, you become our
partner in the work to lessen the car’s impact
on the environment. To reduce your vehicle’s
environmental impact, you can:

•

Maintain proper air pressure in your tires.
Tests have shown decreased fuel econ­omy with improperly inflated tires.

•

Follow the recommended maintenance
schedule in your Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet.

•

Drive at a constant speed whenever pos­sible.

•

See a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician as soon as possible for
inspection if the check engine (malfunc­tion indicator) light illuminates, or stays
on after the vehicle has started.

•

Properly dispose of any vehicle-related
waste such as used motor oil, used bat­teries, brake pads, etc.

•

When cleaning your vehicle, please use
genuine Volvo car care products. All
Volvo car care products are formulated to
be environmentally friendly.

Introduction

Important warnings

13

Driver distraction

A driver has a responsibility to do everything
possible to ensure his or her own safety and
the safety of passengers in the vehicle and
others sharing the roadway. Avoiding distrac­tions is part of that responsibility.

Driver distraction results from driver activities
that are not directly related to controlling the
vehicle in the driving environment. Your new
Volvo is, or can be, equipped with many fea­ture-rich entertainment and communication
systems. These include hands-free cellular
telephones, navigation systems, and multi­purpose audio systems. You may also own
other portable electronic devices for your own
convenience. When used properly and safely,
they enrich the driving experience. Improperly
used, any of these could cause a distraction.

For all of these systems, we want to provide
the following warning that reflects the strong
Volvo concern for your safety. Never use
these devices or any feature of your vehicle in
a way that distracts you from the task of driv­ing safely. Distraction can lead to a serious
accident. In addition to this general warning,
we offer the following guidance regarding
specific newer features that may be found in
your vehicle:

•

Never use a hand-held cellular telephone
while driving. Some jurisdictions prohibit

cellular telephone use by a driver while
the vehicle is moving.

•

If your vehicle is equipped with a naviga­tion system, set and make changes to
your travel itinerary only with the vehicle
parked.

•

Never program your audio system while
the vehicle is moving. Program radio pre­sets with the vehicle parked, and use
your programmed presets to make radio
use quicker and simpler.

•

Never use portable computers or per­sonal digital assistants while the vehicle is
moving.

Accessory installation

•

We strongly recommend that Volvo own­ers install only genuine, Volvo-approved
accessories, and that accessory installa­tions be performed only by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.

•

Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to
ensure compatibility with the perform­ance, safety, and emission systems in
your vehicle. Additionally, a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician knows
where accessories may and may not be
safely installed in your Volvo. In all cases,
please consult a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician before installing
any accessory in or on your vehicle.

•

Accessories that have not been approved
by Volvo may or may not be specifically
tested for compatibility with your vehicle.
Additionally, an inexperienced installer
may not be familiar with some of your
car’s systems.

•

Any of your car’s performance and safety
systems could be adversely affected if
you install accessories that Volvo has not
tested, or if you allow accessories to be
installed by someone unfamiliar with your
vehicle.

•

Damage caused by unapproved or
improperly installed accessories may not
be covered by your new vehicle warranty.
See your Warranty and Service Records
Information booklet for more warranty
information. Volvo assumes no responsi­bility for death, injury, or expenses that
may result from the installation of non­genuine accessories.

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 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. You can help. We would appreciate
hearing your suggestions about improving
automobile safety. We also want to know if
you ever have a safety concern with your
vehicle. Call us in the U.S. at:
1-800-458-1552 or in Canada at:
1-800-663-8255.

Occupant safety reminders

How safely you drive doesn’t depend on how
old you are but rather on:

•

How well you see.

•

Your ability to concentrate.

•

How quickly you make decisions under
stress to avoid an accident.

The following suggestions are intended to
help you cope with the ever changing traffic
environment.

•

Never drink and drive.

•

If you are taking any medication, consult
your physician about its potential effects
on your driving abilities.

•

Take a driver-retraining course.

•

Have your eyes checked regularly.

•

Keep your windshield and headlights
clean.

•

Replace wiper blades when they start to
leave streaks.

•

Take into account the traffic, road, and
weather conditions, particularly with
regard to stopping distance.

•

Never send text messages while driving.

•

Refrain from using or minimize the use of
a cell phone while driving.

General information

Adjusting the seat belt

Seat belts should always be worn by all occu­pants of your vehicle. Children should be
properly 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.

Seat belt pretensioners

All seat belts are equipped with pretensioners
that reduce slack in the belts. These preten­sioners are triggered in situations where the
front or side impact airbags deploy, and in
certain impacts from the rear. 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.

Fastening a seat belt

Buckling

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» and you can move freely, provi­ded that the shoulder belt is not pulled out
too far.

Seat belt retractor

The seat belt retractor will lock up in the
following situations:

•

if the belt is pulled out rapidly

•

during braking and acceleration

•

if the vehicle is leaning excessively

•

when driving in turns

•

if the Automatic Locking Retractor/Emer­gency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR) is
activated

NOTE

Each seat belt (except for the driver’s belt)
is equipped with the ALR/ELR function,
which is designed to help keep the seat
belt taut. ALR/ELR activates if the seat belt
is pulled out as far as possible. If this is
done, a sound from the seat belt retractor
will be audible, which is normal, and the
seat belt will be pulled taut and locked in
place. This function is automatically disa­bled when the seat belt is unbuckled and
fully retracted.

See also page 38 for information about
using a seat belt’s ALR/ELR function to
anchor a child seat.

When wearing the seat belt remember:

•

The belt should not be twisted or turned.

•

The lap section of the belt must be posi­tioned low on the hips (not pressing
against the abdomen).

•

Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled
up into its retractor and that the shoulder
and lap belts are taut.

Unbuckling the seat belt

To remove the seat belt, press the red section
on the seat belt receptacle. Before exiting the
vehicle, check that the seat belt retracts fully
after being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the
belt back into the retractor slot.

Seat belt maintenance

Check periodically that the seat belts are in
good condition. Use water and a mild deter­gent for cleaning. Check seat belt mechanism
function as follows: attach the seat belt and
pull rapidly on the strap.

WARNING

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. As seat belts lose much of their
strength when exposed to violent stretch­ing, they should be replaced after any col­lision, even if they appear to be undam­aged.

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 three­point belt system will have a detrimen­tal effect on the amount of protection
available to you in the event of a colli­sion.

•

The seat back should not be tilted too
far back. The shoulder belt must be
taut in order to function properly.

•

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.

Seat belt reminder

Seat belt reminder light in ceiling console

The seat belt reminder consists of an audible
signal, an indicator light near the rearview
mirror and a symbol in the instrument panel
that alert all occupants of the vehicle to fas­ten their seat belts. The audible signal and
indicator light will be on for several seconds
from the time the ignition is switched on,
regardless of whether or not the seat belts
are fastened.

If the front seat belts are unbuckled while the
vehicle is in motion, the audible signal and
warning light will be active for a several sec­onds.

01 Safety

Rear seats

The seat belt reminder in the rear seat has
two additional functions:

•

It provides information about which seat
belts are fastened in the rear seat. A mes­sage will appear in the information display
when a belt is being used. This message
will disappear after several seconds or
can be erased by pressing the OK button
on the left steering wheel lever.

•

It also provides a reminder if one of the
occupants of the rear seat has unbuckled
his/her seat belt while the vehicle is in
motion. A visual and audible signal will be
given. These signals will stop when the
seat belt has been re-buckled or can be
stopped by pressing the OK button.

•

The message

Unbelted in rear seat will

appear in the information display if one of
the rear doors has been opened.

The message in the information display can
always be accessed, even if it has been
erased, by pressing the OK button to display
stored messages.

Seat belt use during pregnancy

The seat belt should always be worn during
pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in
the correct way. The diagonal section should
wrap over the shoulder then be routed
between the breasts and to the side of the
belly. The lap section should lay flat over the
thighs and as low as possible under the belly.
It must never be allowed to ride upward.
Remove all slack from the belt and ensure
that it fits close to the body without any
twists.

As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers
should adjust their seats and steering wheel
such that they can easily maintain control of
the vehicle as they drive (which means they
must be able to easily operate the foot pedals
and 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 40 for information on
securing child seats with the seat belts.

General information

Models with an analog instrument panel

Models with an digital instrument panel*

As an enhancement to the three-point seat
belts, your Volvo is equipped with a Supple­mental Restraint System (SRS). Volvo’s SRS

consists of seat belt pretensioners, front air­bags, side impact airbags, a front passenger
occupant weight sensor, and inflatable cur­tains. All of these systems are monitored by
the SRS control module. An SRS warning
light in the instrument panel (see the illustra­tion) illuminates when the ignition is in modes
I or II, and will normally go out after approxi­mately 6 seconds if no faults are detected in
the system.

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.
See also page 79 for more information
about indicator and warning lights.

WARNING

•

If the SRS warning light stays on after
the engine has started or if it illumi­nates while you are driving, have the
vehicle inspected by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician as
soon as possible.

•

Never try to repair any component or
part of the SRS yourself. Any interfer­ence in the system could cause mal­function and serious injury. All work on
these systems should be performed by
a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician.

WARNING

If your vehicle has become flood-damaged
in any way (e.g., soaked carpeting/stand­ing water on the floor of the vehicle), do
not attempt to start the vehicle or insert
the remote key into the ignition slot before
disconnecting the battery (see below). This
may cause airbag deployment which could
result in serious injury. Have the vehicle
towed to a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician for repairs.

Before attempting to tow the vehicle:

1. Switch off the ignition for at least
10 minutes and disconnect the bat­tery.

2. Follow the instructions for manually
overriding the shiftlock system on
page 128.

Front airbags

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 genera­tors surrounded by the airbags, and decelera­tion sensors that activate the gas generators,
causing the airbags to be inflated with nitro­gen gas.

Location of the passenger’s side front airbag

As the movement of the seats’ occupants
compresses the airbags, some of the gas is
expelled at a controlled rate to provide better
cushioning. Both seat belt pretensioners also
deploy, minimizing seat belt slack. The entire
process, including inflation and deflation of
the airbags, takes approximately one fifth of a
second.

The location of the front airbags is indicated
by SRS AIRBAG embossed on the steering
wheel pad and above the glove compartment,
and by decals on both sun visors and on the
front and far right side of the dash.

The driver’s side front airbag is folded and
located in the steering wheel hub.

01 Safety

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

23

The passenger’s side front airbag is folded
behind a panel located above the glove com­partment.

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 with your hands on the
steering wheel pad/airbag housing.

•

The front airbags are designed to help
prevent serious injury. Deployment
occurs very quickly and with consider­able force. During normal deployment
and depending on variables such as
seating position, one may experience
abrasions, bruises, swellings, or other
injuries as a result from deployment of
one or both of the airbags.

•

When installing any accessory equip­ment, make sure that the front airbag
system is not damaged. Any interfer­ence in the system could cause mal­function.

Front airbag deployment

•

The front airbags are designed to deploy
during certain frontal or front-angular col­lisions, impacts, or decelerations,
depending on the crash severity, angle,
speed and object impacted. The airbags
may also deploy in certain non-frontal
collisions where rapid deceleration
occurs.

•

The SRS sensors, which trigger the front
airbags, are designed to react to both the
impact of the collision and the inertial
forces generated by it, and to determine if
the intensity of the collision is sufficient
for the seat belt pretensioners and/or air­bags to be deployed.

However, not all frontal collisions activate the
front airbags.

•

If the collision involves a nonrigid object
(e.g., a snow drift or bush), or a rigid,
fixed object at a low speed, the front air­bags will not necessarily deploy.

•

Front airbags do not normally deploy in a
side impact collision, in a collision from
the rear or in a rollover situation.

•

The amount of damage to the bodywork
does not reliably indicate if the airbags
should have deployed or not.

WARNING

•

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 fastened1.

•

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.

•

The smoke and dust formed when the
airbags are deployed can cause skin
and eye irritation in the event of pro­longed exposure.

Should you have questions about any com­ponent in the SRS system, please contact a
trained and qualified Volvo service technician

NOTE

•

Deployment of front airbags occurs
only one time during an accident. In a
collision where deployment occurs,
the airbags and seat belt pretensioners
activate. Some noise occurs and a
small amount of powder is released.
The release of the powder may appear
as smoke-like matter. This is a normal
characteristic and does not indicate
fire.

•

Volvo’s front airbags use special sen­sors that are integrated with the front
seat buckles. The point at which the
airbag deploys is determined by
whether or not the seat belt is being
used, as well as the severity of the col­lision.

•

Collisions can occur where only one of
the airbags deploys. If the impact is
less severe, but severe enough to
present a clear injury risk, the airbags
are triggered at partial capacity. If the
impact is more severe, the airbags are
triggered at full capacity.

on page 22).

•

There should be no loose articles,
such as coffee cups on the floor, seat,
or dashboard area.

•

Never try to open the airbag cover on
the steering wheel or the passenger’s
side dashboard. This should only be
done by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician.

General information

Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) indicator light

Disabling the passenger’s side front
airbag

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 front passenger side air­bag, and be properly restrained for their size
and weight. For child safety recommenda­tions,see page 38.

The Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) is
designed to meet the regulatory requirements
of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(FMVSS) 208 and is designed to disable (will
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).

The OWS will disable (will not inflate) the pas­senger’s side front airbag when:

•

the front passenger’s seat is unoccupied,
or has small/medium objects in the front
seat,

•

the system determines that an infant is
present in a rear-facing infant seat that is
installed according to the manufacturer’s
instructions,

•

the system determines that a small child
is present in a forward-facing child
restraint that is installed according to the
manufacturer’s instructions,

•

the system determines that a small child
is present in a booster seat,

•

a front passenger takes his/her weight off
of the seat for a period of time,

•

a child or a small person occupies the
front passenger’s seat.

The OWS uses a PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF
indicator lamp which will illuminate and stay
on to remind you that the passenger’s side

front airbag is disabled. The PASSENGER
AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is located in the
overhead console, near the base of the rear­view mirror.

NOTE

When the ignition is switched on, the OWS
indicator light will go on for up to 10 sec­onds while the system performs a self­diagnostic test.

However, if a fault is detected in the system:

•

The OWS indicator light will stay on

•

The SRS warning light (see page 21) will
come on and stay on

•

The message

Pass. Airbag OFF Service

urgent will be displayed in the informa-

tion display.

WARNING

If a fault in the system is detected and
indicated as described, be aware that the
passenger’s side front airbag will not
deploy in the event of a collision. In this
case, the SRS system and Occupant
Weight Sensor should be inspected by a
trained and qualified Volvo service techni­cian as soon as possible.

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 a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.

•

The front passenger’s seat should not
be modified in any way. This could
reduce pressure on the seat cushion,
which might interfere with the OWS
system’s function.

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 instal­led. If there is any doubt as to the status of the passeng­er’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.

If a person of adult size is sitting in the front
passenger’s seat, but the PASSENGER AIR­BAG OFF indicator lamp is on, it is possible
that the person isn’t sitting properly in the
seat. If this happens:

•

Turn the vehicle off and ask the person to
place the seatback in an upright position.

•

Have the person sit upright in the seat,
centered on the seat cushion, with the
person’s legs comfortably extended.

•

Restart the vehicle and have the person
remain in this position for about two
minutes. This will allow the system to
detect that person and enable the pas­senger’s frontal airbag.

•

If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indica­tor lamp remains on even after this, the
person should be advised to ride in the
rear seat.

This condition reflects limitations of the OWS
classification capability. It does not indicate
OWS malfunction.

Modifications

If you are considering modifying your vehicle
in any way to accommodate a disability, for
example by altering or adapting the driver’s

WARNING

•

No objects that add to the total weight
on the seat should be placed on the
front passenger’s seat. If a child is
seated in the front passenger’s seat
with any additional weight, this extra
weight could cause the OWS system
to enable the airbag, which might
cause it to deploy in the event of a col­lision, thereby injuring the child.

•

The seat belt should never be wrapped
around an object on the front pas­senger’s seat. This could interfere with
the OWS system’s function.

•

The front passenger’s seat belt should
never be used in a way that exerts
more pressure on the passenger than
normal. This could increase the pres­sure exerted on the weight sensor by a
child, and could result in the airbag
being enabled, which might cause it to
deploy in the event of a collision,
thereby injuring the child.

WARNING

•

Keep the following points in mind with
respect to the OWS system. Failure to
follow these instructions could
adversely affect the system’s function
and result in serious injury to the occu­pant of the front passenger’s seat:

•

The full weight of the front seat pas­senger should always be on the seat
cushion. The passenger should never
lift him/herself off the seat cushion
using the armrest in the door or the
center console, by pressing the feet on
the floor, by sitting on the edge of the
seat cushion, or by pressing against
the backrest in a way that reduces
pressure on the seat cushion. This
could cause OWS to disable the front,
passenger’s side airbag.
