2003 VOLVO V70

WARNING!

● 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 passenger-side front airbag. See page 14 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 on page 4 ).

● There should be no loose articles, e.g. coffee cups, on the floor, seat or dash area.

● Never try to open the SRS cover on the steering wheel or the passenger side dash. This should only

be done by an authorized Volvo service technician.

● Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants.

pg. 7 Front airbags - SRS

NOTE: The information on this page does not pertain to the Side Impact Protection System airbags.

When are the airbags deployed?

The SRS system is designed to deploy during certain frontal or front-angular collisions, impacts, or

decelerations, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and object impacted. The SRS sensor is

designed to react to both the impact of the collision and the inertial forces generated by it and to

determine if the intensity of the collision is sufficient for the airbags to be deployed.

WARNING!

The SRS is designed to help prevent serious injury. Deployment occurs very quickly and with

considerable force. During normal deployment and depending on variables such as seating position,

one may experience abrasions, bruises, swellings, or other injuries as a result of airbag(s) deployment.

If the airbags have been deployed, we recommend the following:
