2006 VOLVO V70
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.

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 21).
● No objects should be placed under the front passenger's seat. This could interfere with the OWS
system's function.
