The center head restraint can be adjusted according to the passenger's height. The restraint should be carefully adjusted to support the occupant's head. To raise, lift up to desired position. To lower the center head restraint, press the release button behind the right-hand support while pressing down the head restraint to the desired position. WARNING! Please note that the lowest head restraint position is only intended for use when the backrest is to be folded down, or when the seat is not occupied. The head restraint is intended to help protect the head/neck in a collision. Ensure that it is properly adjusted for the occupant of the seat. pg. 4 Front airbags - SRS Driver's side airbag - in Passenger's side airbag - above glove compartment steering wheel hub As an enhancement to the three-point seat belt system, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). The Volvo SRS consists of an airbag (2) on both the driver's and passenger's sides and seat belt tensioners in both front door pillars (4). The system is designed to supplement the protection provided by the three-point seat belt system. All three rear seat belts are also equipped with tensioners. The SRS system is indicated by the "SRS" 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. The airbags are folded and located in the steering wheel hub and above the glove compartment. They 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. The airbag system includes gas generators (1) surrounded by the airbags (2) and front seat belt tensioners for both of the front seats (4). To deploy the system, the sensor (3) 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 any seat belt slack. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbags, takes approximately two-tenths of a second.
