Pedestrian airbag - folding up
The car may be moved if it has not been set in
safety mode (p. 38).
The pedestrian airbag (p. 40) (Pedestrain
Airbag) must be folded up before the car is
moved.

The airbag may feel warm and give off
smoke. This is normal. Fold the airbag as fol-
lows:
1. Find the Velcro strap on the
driver's side (4).
2. Gather the airbag fabric along its length
on the driver's side. Then fold the gath-
ered fabric towards the centre. Wind the
Velcro strap (double sided) around as
much fabric as possible and fasten it.
3. Press the rolled up portion of the airbag
into the airbag housing (2).
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the passenger side.
It may be necessary to fold the gathered
fabric twice on this side in order to wind
the Velcro strap around it.
5. The airbag housing cover will be open
slightly. This is completely normal.

General information on child safety
Children of all ages and sizes must always sit
correctly secured in the car. Never allow a
child to sit on the knee of a passenger.
Volvo recommends that children travel in
rear-facing child seats until as late an age as
possible, at least until 3-4 years of age, and
then front-facing booster cushions/child seats
until up to 10 years of age.
The position of a child in the car and the
choice of equipment are dictated by the
child's weight and size; see Child seats (p.
44).
NOTE
Regulations regarding the placement of
children in cars vary from country to coun-
try. Check what does apply.
Volvo has child safety equipment (child seats,
booster cushions & attachment devices)
which is designed for your particular car.
Using Volvo's child safety equipment pro-
vides you with optimum conditions for your
child to travel safely in the car. Furthermore,
the child safety equipment fits and is easy to
use.
