Safety mode is a feature that is triggered
after a collision if there is potential damage to
an important function in the vehicle, such as
the fuel lines, sensors for one of the safety
systems, the brake system, etc.
Volvo recommends contacting an author-
ized Volvo workshop for repair. Incorrectly
performed repairs to the inflatable curtain
system could impair function and lead to
serious injury.
If the vehicle has been involved in a collision,
the text Safety mode See Owner's manual
may appear in the instrument panel along with
the warning symbol if the panel is undamaged
and the vehicle's electrical system is intact.
The message indicates that one or more of the
vehicle's functions may be reduced.
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy objects in the
handle in the ceiling. The hooks are only
intended for lightweight garments (not for
hard objects such as umbrellas).
Never screw or mount anything to the vehi-
cle's headlining, door pillars or side panels.
This could impair the intended protective
properties. Volvo recommends only using
Volvo original parts that are approved for
placement in these areas.
WARNING
Never attempt to restart the vehicle if you
smell fuel fumes when the message Safety
mode See Owner's manual is displayed
in the instrument panel. Leave the vehicle
immediately.
WARNING
If objects are loaded higher than the upper
edge of the side windows, leave a 10 cm
(4 in.) space between the objects and the
window. Objects placed closer to this
could impede the function of the inflatable
curtain concealed inside the headlining.
If safety mode has been set, it may be possi-
ble to reset the system in order to start and
move the vehicle a short distance, for exam-
ple, if it is blocking traffic.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to
the seat belt. Always wear your seat belt.

> The vehicle's electrical system will per-
form a system check and then attempt

Never attempt to perform repairs or reset
electrical components on your own after
the vehicle has been in safety mode. This
could result in injury or prevent the vehicle

mends having the vehicle inspected and
reset to normal operating status by an
authorized Volvo workshop after Safety

child restraints are not properly secured in the
vehicle. Failure to follow the installation
instructions for your child restraint can result
in your child striking the vehicle's interior in a
sudden stop.
Make sure the child restraint system is
approved for the child's height, weight and
development - the label required by the stand-
ard or regulation, or instructions for infant
restraints, typically provide this information.

maneuver or impact. The same can also hap-
pen if the infant or child rides unrestrained on
the seat. Other occupants should also be
properly restrained to help reduce the chance
of injuring or increasing the injury of a child.
Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint
systems for all occupants including children.
Remember that, regardless of age and size, a
child should always be properly restrained in a
vehicle.
Your vehicle is also equipped with ISOFIX/
LATCH attachments, which make it more con-
venient to install child seats.
All states and provinces have legislation gov-
erning how and where children should be car-
ried in a vehicle. Find out the regulations exist-
ing in your state or province. Recent accident
statistics have shown that children are safer in

tions when properly restrained. A child
