release of the powder may appear as smoke-like matter. This is a normal characteristic and does not indicate fire.
NOTE: NOTE: Volvo's dual-threshold air bags use special sensors that are integrated with the front seat buckles. The
point at which the air bag 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.
WARNING!
· Children must never be allowed in the front passenger 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 front passenger side
airbag. See page 12 for guidelines.
· 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. The occupant's back must be as upright as comfort allows and be against the
seat back with the seat belt properly fastened.
· Feet must be on the floor, e.g. not on the dash, seat or out of the window.
· No objects or accessory equipment, e.g. dash covers, may be placed on, attached to or installed near the SRS hatch
(the area above the glove compartment) or the area affected by airbag deployment (see illustration).
· There should be no loose articles, e.g. coffee cups, on the floor, seat or dash area.
· Never try to open the SRS cover on the steering wheel or the passenger side SRS seam. This should only be done
by an authorized Volvo service technician.
· Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants in an accident.

NOTE: The information on this page does not pertain to the Side Impact Protection System airbags.
When are the airbags deployed?The SRS system is designed to deploy during certain frontal or frontangular
collisions, impacts, or decelerations, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and object impacted. The SRS
sensor is 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 airbags to be deployed.
WARNING!
The SRS is 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 of airbag(s) deployment.
If the airbags have been deployed, we recommend the following:
· Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer. Never drive with the airbags deployed.
· Have an authorized Volvo retailer replace the SRS system components.
· Use only new, Genuine Volvo Parts when replacing SRS components (airbags, seat belts, tensioners, etc.).
When are the airbags NOT deployed?
Not all frontal collisions activate the SRS system. If the collision involves a nonrigid object (e.g., a snow drift or
bush), or a rigid, fixed object at a low speed, the SRS system 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.
