Volvo and the environment Volvo is committed to the well being of our 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. After Volvo cars and parts have fulfilled their use, recycling is the next critical step in completing the life cycle. The metal content is about 75% of the total weight of a car, which makes the car among the most recycled industrial products. Despite our strongest recommendations, and your best intentions, not wearing a seat belt is like believing 'It'll never happen to me!' Volvo, the inventor of the three-point seat belt, urges you and all adult occupants of your car to wear seat belts and ensure that children are properly restrained, using an infant, car or booster seat determined by age, weight and height. Always fasten the seat belts before you drive or ride. A chime will sound several times if the driver has not fastened his seat belt.

To buckle: 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'. Never repair the belt on your own; have this work done by an authorized Volvo retailer only. Any device used to induce slack into the shoulder belt portion of the three-point belt system will have a detrimental effect on the amount of protection available to you in the event of a collision. As an enhancement to the three-point seat belt system, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). The Volvo SRS consists of an airbag (2) on both the driver's and passenger's sides and seat belt tensioners in both front door pillars (4). The system is designed to supplement the protection provided by the three-point seat belt system.

(including tensioners) should be replaced every ten years and that the other components in the system (wiring, connectors, etc.) should also be inspected at this time. The SRS decal on your car shows the month and year servicing is due. This service must be performed by an authorized Volvo retailer. Should you have any questions about the SRS system, please contact your authorized Volvo retailer or Volvo Customer Support: In the USA: In Canada: Volvo Cars of North America Volvo Canada Ltd.

Customer Relations 175 Gordon Baker Road P.O. 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.

The amount of damage to the bodywork does not reliably indicate if the airbags should have deployed or not. Seat belts the heart of the Volvo safety system The heart of the Volvo safety system is the threepoint seat belt (a Volvo invention)! In order for the SRS system to provide the protection intended, seat belts must be worn at all times by everyone in the car.

9 Volvo Inflatable curtain (VIC) Volvo Inflatable curtain (VIC) This system consists of inflatable curtains located along the sides of the roof liners, stretching from the center of both front side windows to the rear edge of the rear side windows. It is designed to help. The IC system is a supplement to the Side Impact Protection System. It is not designed to deploy during collisions from the front or rear of the car or in most rollover situations. Never try to open or repair any components of the IC system.

This should only be done by an authorized Volvo service technician. 1 9 9 9 VOLVO Chapter 2 - Instruments, switches and controls pg. 19 Instruments, switches and controls Interior 20 Exterior 21 Instruments 22 Instrument panel 23 Indicator and warning lights 24 Indicator and warning lights 24 Text information window 26.

Volvo came into being in 1915 as a ball bearing manufacturer. It wasn’t until 1927 that the Volvo Group and the company started making vehicles, in Gothenburg, Sweden. Safety has always been a key factor of Volvo’s cars; innovations include the three-point seatbelt - which was introduced as standard equipment in 1959 - Side Impact Protection System (SIPS), 1991, the Whiplash Protection System (1998) and Blind Spot Information System (2007). Volvo Cars was owned by AB Volvo until 1999, when Ford took ownership and it became part of the Blue Oval’s Premier Automotive Group. Volvo Cars was taken over by Zhejiang Geely Holding of China in 2010. Its most popular models include the Volvo Amazon, P1800, 740, V70 and XC90. Volvo has also competed in motorsport since 1959 - with success in the European Touring Car, German Touring Car and British Touring Car Championships - and sponsors the Volvo Ocean Race.
