2005 VOLVO XC90
NOTE:
●
Deployment of SRS components occurs only one time during an accident. In a collision where
deployment occurs, the airbags and seat belt pretensioners 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.
●
Volvo's dual-threshold, dual-stage airbags use special sensors to control deployment. 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. Collisions can occur where only one of the airbags deploys.
●
If the impact is less severe, but severe enough to present a clear injury risk, the dual-stage airbags are
triggered at 70-80% of their total capacity. If the impact is more severe, the dualstage airbags are
triggered at full capacity.
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.
Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can impair the steering of your
vehicle. Other safety systems can also be damaged. The smoke and dust formed when the airbags are
deployed can cause skin and eye irritation in the event of prolonged exposure.
