WARNING
•
Volvo recommends that repairs are only
carried out by an authorised Volvo work-
shop. Defective work in the SIPS-bag
system could cause malfunction and
result in serious personal injury.
•
Do not put objects in the area between
the outside of the seat and the door
panel, since this area is required by the
side airbag.
•
Volvo recommends the use only of car
seat covers approved by Volvo. Other seat
covers may impede the operation of the
side airbags.
•
Side airbags are a supplement the seat-
belts. Always use a seatbelt.
SIPS and child seats
The protection provided by the car to children
seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion is
not diminished by the side airbag.

Inflatable Curtain (IC) (p. 39)
Inflatable Curtain (IC)
The inflatable curtain helps to prevent the driver
and passengers from striking their heads on the
inside of the car during a collision.
The inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is
part of the SIPS system (p. 38). It is fitted along
the headlining on both sides and helps protect
the driver and passengers in the car's outer
seats. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sen-
sors and the inflatable curtain is inflated.
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy items onto the
handles in the roof. The hook is only designed
for light clothing (not for solid objects such as
umbrellas for example).
Do not screw or install anything onto the car's
headlining, door pillars or side panels. This
could compromise the intended protection.
Volvo recommends that you only ever use
Volvo genuine parts that are approved for
placement in these areas.
WARNING
Do not load the car higher than 50 mm under
the top edge of the windows in the doors.
Otherwise, the intended protection of the
inflatable curtain, which is concealed in the
headlining, may be compromised.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the
seatbelts.
Always use a seatbelt.

General information on WHIPS
(whiplash protection)
WHIPS (Whiplash Protection System) is a pro-
tection against whiplash injuries. The system
consists of energy absorbing backrests and
specially designed head restraints in the front
seats.
The WHIPS system is actuated by a rear-end col-
lision, where the angle and speed of the collision,
and the nature of the colliding vehicle all have an
influence.
WARNING
The WHIPS system is a supplement to the
seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.
Seat properties
When the WHIPS system is deployed, the front
seat backrests are lowered backward to change
the seating position of the driver and front seat
passenger. This reduces the risk of whiplash
injury.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS
system yourself. Volvo recommends that you
contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
WHIPS and child seats
The protection provided by the car to children
seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion is
not diminished by the WHIPS system.

SAFETY

WHIPS - seating position
In order to obtain optimum protection from the
WHIPS system (p. 40) the driver and passenger
must have the correct seating position and make
sure that the system's function is not obstructed.
Seating position
Set the correct seating position in the front seat
(p. 82) before driving starts.
Driver and front seat passenger should sit in the
centre of the seat with as little space as possible
between the head and the head restraint.
Function
Do not leave any objects on the floor behind the driver's
seat/passenger seat that may prevent the WHIPS sys-
tem from functioning.
WARNING
Do not squeeze rigid objects between the
rear seat cushion and the front seat's back-
rest. Make sure you do not to obstruct the
function of the WHIPS system.
Do not place objects on the rear seat that may prevent
the WHIPS system from functioning.
WARNING
If a backrest in the rear seat is lowered or a
rear-facing child seat is used in the rear seat,
the corresponding front seat must be moved
forward so that it does not make contact with
the lowered backrest or child seat.
WARNING
If a seat has been subjected to extreme
forces, such as due to a rear-end collision, the
WHIPS system must be checked. Volvo rec-
ommends that it is checked by an authorised
Volvo workshop.
Part of the WHIPS system's protective
capacity may have been lost even if the seat
appears to be undamaged.
Volvo recommends that you contact an
authorised Volvo workshop to have the sys-
tem checked even after a minor rear-end col-
lision.

General information on safety mode
Safety mode is a protective state that is trig-
gered when a collision may have damaged any
of the car's vital functions, such as the fuel lines,
sensors for any of the safety systems, or the
brake system.

Safety mode - attempting to start
the car
If the car is set in safety mode (p. 42) then an
attempt to start the car can be made if every-
thing seems normal and the absence of fuel
leakage has been checked.
First, check that no fuel is leaking from the car.
There must be no smell of fuel either.
If everything seems normal and you have
checked for indications of fuel leakage, you may
attempt to start the car.
Remove the remote control key and open the
driver's door. If a message is now shown to the
effect that the ignition is on, press the start but-
ton. Then close the door and reinsert the remote
control key. The car's electronics will now try to
reset themselves to normal mode. Then try to
start the car.
If the message
Safety mode See manual
is
still shown on the display, then the car must not
be driven or towed, but a vehicle recovery service
(p. 311) must be used instead. Even if the car
appears to be driveable, hidden damage may
make the car impossible to control once moving.
WARNING
Never, under any circumstances, attempt to
restart the car if it smells of fuel when the
Safety mode See manual
message is dis-
played. Leave the car at once.
WARNING
If the car is in safety mode it must not be
towed. It must be transported from its loca-
tion. Volvo recommends that it is transported
to an authorised Volvo workshop.

Pedestrian airbag
The airbag for pedestrians (Pedestrian Airbag)
contributes in certain frontal collisions to alleviat-
ing the collision of the pedestrian with the car.
The pedestrian airbag (Pedestrian Airbag) is fit-
ted under the bonnet near the windscreen. In the
event of certain frontal collisions with a pedes-
trian, the sensors in the front bumper react and
the airbag inflates if required, based on the force
of the impact. The sensors are active at a speed
of approx. 20-50 km/h (12-30 mph) and an
ambient temperature between -20 and +70°C.
The sensors are designed to detect a collision
with an object that has similar properties to those
of the human leg.
There may be objects in the traffic environ-
ment that prompt a signal to the sensors that
is similar to a collision with a pedestrian. It is
possible that the system will be activated in
the event of a collision with such an object.
If the airbag is activated (Pedestrian Airbag)
•
the rear part of the bonnet is raised and
locked in this position
•
the hazard warning flashers are activated
•
the brake system is prepared for the upcom-
ing emergency braking.
WARNING
Do not fit any accessories or change anything
in the front. Incorrect intervention at the front
may cause incorrect function in the system
and lead to serious injury and damage to the
car.
Volvo recommends that genuine wiper arms
are used and that you only use genuine parts
for them.
WARNING
Volvo recommends contacting an authorised
Volvo workshop in the event of damage to the
bumper in order to ensure that the system is
intact.
