Volvo V70 - Manual (Page 22)

2007 Volvo V70
WARNING!
●
No objects that add to the total weight on the seat should be placed on the front passenger's seat. 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.

Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS)
WARNING!
Keep the following points in mind with respect to the OWS system. Failure to follow these
instructions could adversely affect the system's function and result in serious injury to the occupant of
the front passenger's 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 passenger's 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 30 ).
●
No objects should be placed under the front passenger's seat. This could interfere with the OWS
system's function.
