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 sys-

tem'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 air-

bag, move the child restraint to the rear seat.

The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate)

the passenger's side front airbag 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 AIR-

BAG 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 per-

son'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 pas-

senger'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 or

front passenger's seat(s) and/or airbag sys-

tems, please contact Volvo at:
