NOTE: Deployment of SRS components occurs only one time during an accident. In a collision where
deployment occurs, the air bags and seat belt tensioners activate. Some noise occurs and a small amount
of powder is released. The release of the powder may appear as smoke-like matter. This is a normal
characteristic and does not indicate fire.
WARNING!
· Children must never be allowed in the front passenger seat. Volvo recommends that ALL occupants
(adults and children) shorter than four feet seven inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seat of any
vehicle with a front passenger side airbag. See page 11 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.
