    Occupant safety, Reporting safety defects Volvo Concern for Safety Safety is the Volvo cornerstone. Our concern dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the production line. Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safety cages, and energy-absorbing impact zones were designed into Volvo cars long before it was fashionable or required by government regulation.
  • Page 10 However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your retailer, or Volvo Cars of North America. To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 202-366-0123 in Washington, D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA, U.

  • Page 11: Using Seat Belts

    Adjusting the seat belt Volvo, the inventor of the three-point seat belt, urges you and all occupants of your vehicle to wear seat belts and ensure that children are properly restrained, using an infant, car, or booster seat determined by age, weight and height.
  • Page 12 2006 Volvo S60 The belt should not be twisted or turned. The lap section of the belt must be positioned low on the hips (not pressing against the abdomen). Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled up into its retractor and that the shoulder and lap belts are taut.
  • Page 13 - Never repair the belt yourself; have this work done by an authorized Volvo service technician 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.

  • Page 14: Supplemental Restraint System (Srs)

    WARNING! - If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it illuminates while you are driving, have the vehicle inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible. - Never try to repair any component or part of the SRS yourself. Any interference in the system could cause malfunction and serious injury.

  • Page 15: Front Airbags

    (see below). This may cause airbag deployment which could result in personal injury. Have the vehicle towed to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for repairs. Automatic transmission:...
  • Page 16 2006 Volvo S60 The location of the front airbags is indicated by "SRS AIRBAG" embossed on the steering wheel pad and above the glove compartment, and by decals on both sun visors and on the front and far right side of the dash.
  • Page 17 The release of the powder may appear as smoke-like matter. This is a normal characteristic and does not indicate fire. Volvo's dual-threshold, dual-stage front airbags use special sensors that are integrated with the front seat buckles. The point at which the airbag deploys is determined by whether or not the seat belt is being used, as well as the severity of the collision.
  • Page 18 2006 Volvo S60 WARNING! - Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that occupants under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened.
  • Page 19 2006 Volvo S60 WARNING! - Children must never be allowed in the front passenger's 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 20 for guidelines.
  • Page 20 2006 Volvo S60 (OWS), a system that monitors the weight of the person or object in the front passenger's seat. The system consists of a silicone-filled bag located under the padding in the front passenger's seat cushion, a control module located under this seat, and a seat belt tension sensor, located on the outboard side of the seat.
  • Page 21 Modifications If you are considering modifying your vehicle in any way to accommodate a disability, for example by altering or adapting the driver's or front passenger's seat(s) and/or airbag systems, please contact Volvo In the USA: Volvo Cars of North America Customer Care Center P.O.
  • Page 22 WARNING! - Never try to open, remove, or repair any components in the OWS system. This could result in system malfunction. Maintenance or repairs should only be carried out by an authorized Volvo service technician. - The front passenger's seat should not be modified in any way. This could reduce pressure on the seat cushion, which might interfere with the OWS system's function.

  • Page 28 2006 Volvo S60 The WHIPS system consists of specially designed hinges and brackets on the front seat backrests designed to help absorb some of the energy generated in a collision from the rear (when the vehicle is "rear-ended"). In the event of a collision of this type, the hinges and brackets of the front seat backrests are designed to change position slightly to allow the backrest/head restraint to help support the occupant's head before moving slightly rearward.

  • Page 29: Child Safety

    - If your car has been involved in a rear-end collision, the front seat backrests must be inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician, even if the seats appear to be undamaged. Certain components in the WHIPS system may need to be replaced.

(15 - 36 kg) and 38-54 inches (97 - 137 cm) in height. pg. 18 Safety WARNING! - Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat.
  • Page 31 The booster cushion should also be replaced if it is badly worn or damaged in any way. This work should be performed by an authorized Volvo retailer only. Canada only: This cushion may be referred to as a built-in booster cushion.

Raising the booster cushion: fold down the backrest of the booster cushion (A) fasten the Velcro strip (B) raise the booster cushion into the rear seat backrest (C).
  • Page 33 Volvo's recommendations Why does Volvo believe that no child should sit in the front seat of a car? It's quite simple really. A front airbag is a very powerful device designed, by law, to help protect an adult.
  • Page 34 Child safety Child restraint anchorages Child restraint anchorages Volvo cars are fitted with child restraint top tether anchorages in the rear seat. Refer to the child seat manufacturer's instructions for information on securing the child seat. NOTE: Child restraints could be recalled for safety reasons. You must register your child restraint to be reached in a recall.
  • Page 35 2006 Volvo S60 WARNING! - Child Restraint Anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted Child Restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts or harnesses. The anchorages are not able to withstand excessive forces on them in the event of collision if full harness seat belts or adult seat belts are installed to them.
