Activating/deactivating the airbag (SRS)
Indicator showing that the passenger airbag
(SRS) is deactivated.
PACOS (option)
The airbag (SRS) for the front passenger
seat can be deactivated using a switch. This
is necessary if a child seat is to be fitted there
for example.
Indicator
A text message on the roof panel indicates
that the passenger airbag (SRS) is deacti-
vated.
Switch for PACOS (Passenger Airbag Cut
Off Switch).
Activating/deactivating
The switch is located on the passenger end
of the dashboard and is accessible when the
passenger door is open. Check that the
switch is in the required position. Volvo
recommends that that the ignition key be
used to change position (Other items with a
shape similar to a key can be used).
WAR NI NG!
If the car is equipped with a front
passenger airbag (SRS), but does not
have PACOS, the airbag will always be
activated.
WAR NI NG!
Activated airbag (passenger seat):
Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion in the front passenger
seat when the airbag is activated. This
also applies to anyone shorter than
140 cm.
Deactivated airbag (passenger seat):
No one taller than 140 cm should ever sit
in the front passenger seat when the
airbag is deactivated.
Failure to follow the advice given above
can endanger life.
