Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. WARNING! If your vehicle is involved in an accident, unseen damage may affect your vehicle's driveability and safety. Volvo and the environment Volvo is committed to the well being of its customers. As a natural part of this commitment, we care about the environment in which we all live. Caring for the environment means an everyday involvement in reducing our environmental impact. Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider the overall environmental impact of a product throughout its complete life cycle. In this context, design, production, product use, and recycling are all important considerations. In production, Volvo has partly or completely phased out several chemicals including freons, lead chromates, file:///K|/ownersdocs/2006/2006_S60/06s60_00.htm (3 of 8)12/30/2006 4:47:05 PM 2006 Volvo S60 naphtanates, asbestos, mercury and cadmium; and reduced the amount of chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991. Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic converter with a Lambda sond, now called oxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version of this highly efficient system reduces emissions of harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately 95% and the search to eliminate the remaining emissions continues. Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning system of all models as far back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced electronic engine controls, refined purification systems and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal. After Volvo cars and parts have fulfilled their use, recycling is the next critical step in completing the life cycle. The metal content is about 75% of the total weight of a car, which makes the car among the most recycled industrial products. In order to have efficient and well controlled recycling, many Volvo variants have printed dismantling manuals, indicating the weight and material of individual components. For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts weighing more than 1.7 oz. (50 grams) are marked with international symbols that indicate how the component is to be sorted for recycling. In addition to continuous environmental refinement of conventional gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles. When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner in the work to lessen the car's impact on the environment. To reduce your vehicle's environmental impact, you can: Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased fuel economy with improperly inflated tires. q Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet. q Drive at a constant speed. q See an authorized Volvo retailer as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indicator) lamp illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started. q Properly dispose of any vehicle-related waste such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake pads, etc. q When cleaning your car, use Volvo's own car care products, all of which have systematically been adapted to the environment. q PremAir® On the surface of the radiator in the engine compartment, there is a special coating called PremAir®. PremAir® works as a catalytic converter, converting most of the ground level ozone passing through the radiator into oxygen, thereby reducing harmful ground-level ozone.

Reporting Safety Defects in the U.S. If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Volvo Cars of North America. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. 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. S. Department of Transportation, Washington D. C. 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline. Volvo strongly recommends that if your vehicle is covered under a service campaign, safety or emission recall or similar action, it should be completed as soon as possible. Please check with your local retailer or Volvo Cars of North America, LLC if your vehicle is covered under these conditions.

Volvo also believes no child should sit in the front seat of a vehicle. Most states and provinces make it mandatory for occupants of a vehicle to use seat belts. Seat belt tensioners The seat belts are equipped with tensioners that reduce slack in the belts. These tensioners are triggered in situations where the airbags deploy. The front seat belts also include a tension reducing device which, in the event of a collision, limits the peak forces exerted by the seat belt on the occupant. Buckling a seat belt Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle until a distinct click is heard. The seat belt retractor is normally "unlocked" and you can move freely, provided that the shoulder belt is not pulled out too far. The retractor will lock up as follows: q if the belt is pulled out rapidly q during braking and acceleration q if the vehicle is leaning excessively q when driving in turns When wearing the seat belt remember: file:///K|/ownersdocs/2006/2006_S60/06s60_01a.htm (3 of 15)12/30/2006 4:47:06 PM 2006 Volvo S60 The belt should not be twisted or turned. q The lap section of the belt must be positioned low on the hips (not pressing against the abdomen). q Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled up into its retractor and that the shoulder and lap belts are taut. q Sample label found on all seat belts with tensioners Unbuckling the seat belt To remove the seat belt, press the red section on the seat belt receptacle. Before exiting the vehicle, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the belt back into the retractor slot. Seat belt reminder The seat belt reminder consists of an audible signal, an indicator light above the rearview mirror, and a symbol in the instrument panel that alert the driver and front seat passenger if their seat belts are not fastened. Seat belt maintenance Check periodically that the seat belts are in good condition. Use water and a mild detergent for cleaning. Check seat belt mechanism function as follows: attach the seat belt and pull rapidly on the strap. pg. 4 Safety file:///K|/ownersdocs/2006/2006_S60/06s60_01a.htm (4 of 15)12/30/2006 4:47:06 PM 2006 Volvo S60 WARNING! - Never use a seat belt for more than one occupant. - Never wear the shoulder portion of the belt under the arm, behind the back or otherwise out of position. Such use could cause injury in the event of an accident. - Seat belts lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretching and should be replaced after any collision, even if they appear to be undamaged. - 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. - The seat back should not be tilted too far back. The shoulder belt must be taut in order to function properly. - Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt properly fastened. Seat belt use during pregnancy Seat belt use during pregnancy The seat belt should always be worn during pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in the correct way. The diagonal section should wrap over the shoulder then be routed between the breasts and to the side of the belly. The lap section should lay flat over the thighs and as low as possible under the belly. It must never be allowed to ride upward. Remove all slack from the belt and insure that it fits close to the body without any twists. As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers should adjust their seats and steering wheel such that they can easily maintain control of the vehicle as they drive (which means they must be able to easily operate the foot pedals and steering wheel). Within this context, they should strive to position the seat with as large a distance as possible between their belly and the steering wheel. Child seats Please refer to page 20 for information on securing child seats with the seat belts. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2006/2006_S60/06s60_01a.htm (5 of 15)12/30/2006 4:47:06 PM 2006 Volvo S60 pg. 5 Safety Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) SRS warning light Supplemental Restraint System As an enhancement to the three-point seat belts, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Volvo's SRS consists of seat belt tensioners, front airbags, side impact airbags, the occupant weight sensor, and inflatable curtains. All of these systems are monitored by the SRS control module. An SRS warning light in the instrument panel (see the illustration above) illuminates when the ignition key is turned to position I, II, or III, and will normally go out after approximately 7 seconds if no faults are detected in the system. Where applicable, a text message will also be displayed when the SRS warning light illuminates. If this warning symbol is not functioning properly, the general warning symbol message will be displayed. illuminates and a text 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. All work on these systems should be performed by an authorized Volvo service technician. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2006/2006_S60/06s60_01a.htm (6 of 15)12/30/2006 4:47:06 PM 2006 Volvo S60 WARNING! If your vehicle has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/standing water on the floor of the vehicle) or if your vehicle has become flood-damaged in any way, do not attempt to start the vehicle or put the key in the ignition before disconnecting the battery (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: Before attempting to tow the vehicle, use the following procedure to override the shiftlock system to move the gear selector to the neutral position: - Switch off the ignition for at least 10 minutes and disconnect the battery - Wait at least one minute. - Insert the key in the ignition and turn it to position II. - Press firmly on the brake pedal. - Move the gear selector from (P)ark to the (N)eutral position. pg. 6 Safety Front airbags The front airbag system The front airbags supplement the three-point seat belts. For these airbags to provide the protection intended, seat belts must be worn at all times. The front airbag system includes gas generators (1) surrounded by the airbags (2) and a deceleration sensor (3) that activates the gas generators, causing the airbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas. As the movement of the seats' occupants compresses the airbags, some of the gas is expelled at a controlled rate to provide better cushioning. Both seat belt tensioners also deploy, minimizing seat belt slack. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbags, takes approximately one fifth of a second. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2006/2006_S60/06s60_01a.htm (7 of 15)12/30/2006 4:47:06 PM 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. q q The driver's side front airbag is folded and located in the steering wheel hub. The passenger's side front airbag is folded behind a panel located above the glove compartment. Passenger's side airbag - above glove compartment WARNING! - The airbags in the vehicle are designed to be a SUPPLEMENT to-not a replacement for-the threepoint seat belts. For maximum protection, wear seat belts at all times. Be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident. - Never drive a vehicle with a steering wheel-mounted airbag with your hands on the steering wheel pad/airbag housing. - The front airbags are 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 from deployment of one or both of the airbags. - When installing any accessory equipment, make sure that the front airbag system is not damaged. Any interference in the system could cause malfunction. pg. 7 Safety Front airbag deployment The front airbags are designed to deploy during certain frontal or front-angular collisions, impacts, or decelerations, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and object impacted. The airbags may also deploy in certain non-frontal collisions where rapid deceleration occurs. q The SRS sensors, which trigger the front airbags, are 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 seat belt tensioners and/or airbags to be deployed. q file:///K|/ownersdocs/2006/2006_S60/06s60_01a.htm (8 of 15)12/30/2006 4:47:06 PM 2006 Volvo S60 However, not all frontal collisions activate the front airbags. q If the collision involves a nonrigid object (e.g., a snow drift or bush), or a rigid, fixed object at a low speed, the front airbags will not necessarily deploy. q Front airbags do not normally deploy in a side impact collision, in a collision from the rear or in a rollover situation. q The amount of damage to the bodywork does not reliably indicate if the airbags should have deployed or not. NOTE: q Deployment of front airbags occurs only one time during an accident. In a collision where deployment occurs, the airbags and seat belt tensioners 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. q 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. q 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% of their total capacity. If the impact is more severe, the dual-stage airbags are triggered at full capacity.

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. - 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. WARNING! - No objects or accessory equipment, e.g. dashboard covers, may be placed on, attached to, or installed near the air bag hatch (the area above the glove compartment) or the area affected by airbag deployment (see the illustration on page 6). - There should be no loose articles, e.g. coffee cups, on the floor, seat, or dashboard area. - Never try to open the airbag cover on the steering wheel or the passenger's side dashboard. This should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants. pg. 9 Safety Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) indicator light Disabling the passenger's side front airbag Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than four feet seven inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seat of any vehicle with a front passenger side airbag, and be properly restrained for their size and weight. See also the child safety recommendations on page 20. The passenger's side front airbag is automatically enabled/disabled by the Occupant Weight Sensor file:///K|/ownersdocs/2006/2006_S60/06s60_01a.htm (11 of 15)12/30/2006 4:47:06 PM 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. The OWS system continuously monitors the pressure on the front passenger's seat cushion and the tension applied to the seat belt. Based on this data, OWS assesses the weight of the occupant or object in the front passenger's seat. This information is transmitted to the SRS system control module, which enables or disables the passenger's side front airbag accordingly, as indicated in the table to the right. If the system is functioning normally, the status of the front passenger's side airbag (enabled/disabled) will be shown by the OWS indicator light as explained in the table to the right. The OWS indicator light is separate and in addition to the SRS warning light in the instrument panel. NOTE: When the ignition is switched on, the OWS indicator light will go on for up to 10 seconds while the system performs a self-diagnostic test and then go out. However, if a fault is detected in the system: q q q The OWS indicator light will stay on The SRS warning light (see page 5) will come on and stay on The message PASS.

If a child is seated in the front passenger's seat with any additional weight, this extra weight could cause the OWS system to enable the airbag, which might cause it to deploy in the event of a collision, thereby injuring the child. - The seat belt should never be wrapped around an object on the front passenger's seat. This could interfere with the OWS system's function. - The front passenger's seat belt should never be used in a way that exerts more pressure on the passenger than normal. This could increase the pressure exerted on the weight sensor by a child, and could result in the airbag being enabled, which might cause it to deploy in the event of a collision, thereby injuring the child. 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. pg. 11 Safety WARNING! Keep the following points in mind with respect to the OWS system. Failure to follow these instructions could adversely affect the systemÕs function and result in serious injury to the occupant of the front passengerÕs seat: - The full weight of the front seat passenger should always be on the seat cushion. The passenger should never lift him/herself off the seat cushion using the armrest in the door or the center console, by pressing the feet on the floor, by sitting on the edge of the seat cushion, or by pressing against the backrest in a way that reduces pressure on the seat cushion. This could cause OWS to disable the front passengerÕs side airbag. - Do not place any type of object on the front passenger's seat in such a way that jamming, pressing, or squeezing occurs between the object and the front seat, other than as a direct result of the correct use of the ALR/ ELR seat belt (see page 20). - No objects should be placed under the front passengerÕs seat. This could interfere with the OWS systemÕs function. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2006/2006_S60/06s60_01a.htm (14 of 15)12/30/2006 4:47:06 PM 2006 Volvo S60 Contents | Top of Page file:///K|/ownersdocs/2006/2006_S60/06s60_01a.htm (15 of 15)12/30/2006 4:47:06 PM 2006 Volvo S60 pg. 12 Safety Side airbags (SIPS) airbag Location of the side impact (SIPS) airbag Side impact airbags - front seats only As an enhancement to the structural side impact protection built into your car, the car is also equipped with Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags. The SIPS airbag system is designed to help increase occupant protection in the event of certain side impact collisions. The SIPS airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side-impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact. NOTE: SIPS airbag deployment (one airbag) occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by the impact. The airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations. Components in the SIPS airbag system This SIPS airbag system consists of a gas generator (2), the side airbag modules built into the outboard sides of both front seat backrests (3), and electronic sensors/wiring (1). file:///K|/ownersdocs/2006/2006_S60/06s60_01b.htm (1 of 12)12/30/2006 4:47:07 PM 2006 Volvo S60 WARNING! - The SIPS airbag system is a supplement to the structural Side Impact Protection System and the three-point seat belt system. It is not designed to deploy during collisions from the front or rear of the car or in rollover situations. - The use of seat covers on the front seats may impede SIPS airbag deployment. - No objects, accessory equipment or stickers may be placed on, attached to or installed near the SIPS airbag system or in the area affected by SIPS airbag deployment. - Never try to open or repair any components of the SIPS airbag system. This should be done only by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. - In order for the SIPS airbag to provide its best protection, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened. - Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the occupants of the vehicle in the event of an accident. pg. 13 Safety Volvo Inflatable Curtain (VIC) This system consists of inflatable curtains located along the sides of the roof liners, stretching from the center of both front side windows to the rear edge of the rear side door windows. It is designed to help protect the heads of the occupants of the front seats and the occupant of the outboard rear seating positions in certain side impact collisions. In certain side impacts, both the Inflatable Curtain (VIC) and the Side Impact Airbag System (SIPS-bag) will deploy, whereas, in some cases, only the Inflatable Curtain (VIC) will deploy. In cases where both the VIC and the SIPS-bag deploy, this will occur simultaneously. NOTE: If the inflatable curtain deploys, it remains inflated for approximately 3 seconds. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2006/2006_S60/06s60_01b.htm (2 of 12)12/30/2006 4:47:07 PM 2006 Volvo S60 WARNING! - The VIC system is a supplement to the Side Impact Protection System. It is not designed to deploy during collisions from the front or rear of the car or in rollover situations. - Never try to open or repair any components of the VIC system. This should be done only by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. - In order for the VIC to provide its best protection, both front seat occupants and both outboard rear seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened; adults using the seat belt and children using the proper child restraint system. Only adults should sit in the front seats. Children must never be allowed in the front passenger seat. See page 20 for guidelines.

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. This movement helps absorb some of the forces that could result in whiplash. WARNING! - The WHIPS system is designed to supplement the other safety systems in your car. For this system to function properly, the three-point seat belt must be worn. Please be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident. - The WHIPS system is designed to function in certain collisions from the rear, depending on the crash severity, angle and speed. - Occupants in the front seats must never 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. (contd. on following page) pg. 16 Safety file:///K|/ownersdocs/2006/2006_S60/06s60_01b.htm (5 of 12)12/30/2006 4:47:07 PM 2006 Volvo S60 WARNING! - Boxes, suitcases, etc. wedged behind the front seats could impede the function of the WHIPS system. - If the rear seat backrests are folded down, cargo must be secured to prevent it from sliding forward against the front seat backrests in the event of a collision from the rear. This could interfere with the action of the WHIPS system. - 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. - Do not attempt to service any component in the WHIPS system yourself. - Any contact between the front seat backrests and the folded rear seat could impede the function of the WHIPS system. If the rear seat is folded down, the occupied front seats must be adjusted forward so that they do not touch the folded rear seat. pg. 17 Safety Child safety Children should be seated safely 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 car. Your car is also equipped with ISOFIX/ LATCH attachments, which make it more convenient to install child seats. Some restraint systems for children are designed to be secured in the vehicle by lap belts or the lap portion of a lap-shoulder belt. Such child restraint systems can help protect children in cars in the event of an accident only if they are used properly. However, children could be endangered in a crash if the 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. Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, a child held in a person's arms can be crushed between the vehicle's interior and an unrestrained person. The child could also be injured by striking the interior, or by being ejected from the vehicle during a sudden maneuver or impact. The same can also happen 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. All states and provinces have legislation governing how and where children should be carried in a car. Find out the regulations existing in your state or province. Recent accident statistics have shown that children are safer in rear seating positions than front seating positions when properly restrained. A child restraint system can help protect a child in a vehicle. Here's what to look for when selecting a child file:///K|/ownersdocs/2006/2006_S60/06s60_01b.htm (6 of 12)12/30/2006 4:47:07 PM 2006 Volvo S60 restraint system: It should have a label certifying that it meets applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS 213) - or in Canada, CMVSS 213. q Make sure the child restraint system is approved for the child's height, weight and development - the label required by the standard or regulation, or instructions for infant restraints, typically provide this information. q In using any child restraint system, we urge you to carefully look over the instructions that are provided with the restraint. Be sure you understand them and can use the device properly and safely in this vehicle. A misused child restraint system can result in increased injuries for both the infant or child and other occupants in the vehicle. q When a child has outgrown the child safety seat, you should use the rear seat with the standard seat belt fastened. The best way to help protect the child here is to place the child on a cushion so that the seat belt is properly located on the hips (see the illustration on page 19). Legislation in your state or province may mandate the use of a child seat or cushion in combination with the seat belt, depending on the child's age and/or size. Please check local regulations. A specially designed and tested booster cushion (not available in Canada) can be obtained from your Volvo retailer for children weighing 33 - 80 lb. (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. We also recommend that children under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened. - Keep vehicle doors and trunk locked and keep keys out of a child's reach. Unsupervised children could lock themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles. - On hot days, the temperature in the vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure to these high temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are particularly at risk. pg. 19 Safety file:///K|/ownersdocs/2006/2006_S60/06s60_01b.htm (7 of 12)12/30/2006 4:47:07 PM 2006 Volvo S60 Integrated booster cushion Integrated booster cushion (option) Volvo's own integrated booster cushion has been specially designed to help safeguard a child seated in the center position of the rear seat. When using the integrated booster cushion, the child must be secured with the vehicle's three-point seat belt. Use this booster cushion only with children who weigh between 33 and 80 lbs (15 and 36 kg) and whose height is between 38 and 54 in (97 and 137 cm). The child should be properly seated on the booster cushion. The hip section of the three-point seat belt must fit snugly across the child's hips, not across the stomach. The shoulder section of the three-point seat belt should be positioned across the chest and shoulder (see illustration). The shoulder belt must never be placed behind the child's back or under the arm. WARNING! - Follow all instructions on the booster cushion and in the vehicle's owner's manual. - MAKE SURE THE BOOSTER CUSHION IS SECURELY LOCKED BEFORE THE CHILD IS SEATED. - Use this booster cushion only with children who weigh between 33 and 80 lbs (15 and 36 kg) and whose height is between 38 and 54 in (97 and 137 cm). - In the event of a collision while the integrated booster cushion was occupied, the entire booster cushion and seat belt must be replaced. 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. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2006/2006_S60/06s60_01b.htm (8 of 12)12/30/2006 4:47:07 PM 2006 Volvo S60 Folding out the booster cushion: q fold down the booster cushion q Loosen the Velcro strip (B) q raise the backrest section of the booster cushion into the upright position. Raising the booster cushion: q fold down the backrest of the booster cushion (A) q fasten the Velcro strip (B) q raise the booster cushion into the rear seat backrest (C). NOTE: Please also refer to the instructions on the integrated booster cushion. pg. 20 Safety Automatic Locking Retractor/ Emergency Locking Retractor To make child seat installation easier, each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with a locking mechanism to help keep the seat belt taut. When attaching the seat belt to a child seat: q Attach the seat belt to the child seat according to the child seat manufacturer's instructions. q Pull the seat belt out as far as possible. q Insert the seat belt latch plate into the buckle (lock) in the usual way. q Release the seat belt and pull it taut around the child seat. A sound from the seat belt retractor will be audible at this time and is normal. The belt will now be locked in place. This function is automatically disabled when the seat belt is unlocked and the belt is fully retracted. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2006/2006_S60/06s60_01b.htm (9 of 12)12/30/2006 4:47:07 PM 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 children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt properly fastened. 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. Because of the size of the airbag and its speed of inflation, a child should never be placed in the front seat, even if he or she is properly belted or strapped into a child safety seat. Volvo has been an innovator in safety for over seventy-five years, and we'll continue to do our part. But we need your help. Please remember to put your children in the back seat, and buckle them up. Volvo has some very specific recommendations: q Always wear your seat belt. q Airbags are a SUPPLEMENTAL safety device which, when used with a three-point seat belt can help reduce serious injuries during certain types of accidents. Volvo recommends that you do not disconnect the airbag system in your vehicle. q Volvo strongly recommends that everyone in the vehicle be properly restrained. q 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 front passenger side airbag.

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. An adult who uses a belt anchored in a Child Restraint Anchorage runs a great risk of suffering severe injuries should a collision occur. - Do not install rear speakers which would require the removal of the top tether anchors or interfere with the proper use of the top tether strap. - Top tether straps should be routed beneath the head restraints. pg. 22 This page intentionally left blank Contents | Top of Page file:///K|/ownersdocs/2006/2006_S60/06s60_01b.htm (12 of 12)12/30/2006 4:47:07 PM 2006 Volvo S60 2006 VOLVO S60 Instruments and controls pg. 23 Instruments and controls Instrument panel Indicator and warning symbols Switches in the center console Steering wheel adjustment Lighting panel Manually unlocking the fuel filler door Left-side steering wheel lever Right-side steering wheel lever Hazard warning flashers, rear window/sideview mirror defroster, heated front seats Trip computer (option) Cruise control Parking brake, electric socket/cigarette lighter Electrically operated windows Rearview mirror/sideview mirrors Power moonroof (option) 24 25 29 31 32 33 34 35 37 38 39 41 42 44 46 pg. 24 Instruments and controls Instrument panel file:///K|/ownersdocs/2006/2006_S60/06s60_02a.htm (1 of 13)12/30/2006 4:47:08 PM 2006 Volvo S60 1.
