Capteur de poids

The Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) is designed to meet the regulatory requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208 and is designed to disable (will not inflate) the passenger's side front airbag under certain conditions.

Désactivation du coussin gonflable latéral passager

Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 140 cm (4 feet 7 inches) be seated in the back seat of any vehicle with a front passenger side airbag and be properly restrained for their size and weight.

The OWS works with sensors that are part of the front passenger's seat and seat belt. The sensors are designed to detect the presence of a properly seated occupant and determine if the passenger's side front airbag should be enabled (may inflate) or disabled (will not inflate).

Le système OWS désactive (le coussin ne se gonfle pas) le coussin gonflable latéral avant passager lorsque :

• the front passenger's seat is unoccupied, or has small/medium objects in the front seat,
• the system determines that an infant is present in a rear-facing infant seat that is installed according to the manufacturer's instructions,
• the system determines that a small child is present in a forward-facing child restraint that is installed according to the manufacturer's instructions,
• Le système détecte la présence d'un petit enfant sur un rehausseur,
• Un enfant ou une petite personne occupe le siège passager avant.

The OWS uses a PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp which will illuminate and stay on to remind you that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is located in the overhead console, near the base of the rearview mirror.

Cependant, si le système détecte une erreur :

• Le témoin OWS restera allumé
• The SRS warning light will come on and stay on and a text message will be displayed.

• N'essayez jamais d'ouvrir, de retirer ou de réparer des composants du système OWS. Cela peut entraîner un dysfonctionnement du système. L'entretien ou les réparations doivent être effectués uniquement par un technicien Volvo formé et qualifié.
• Le siège passager avant ne doit en aucun cas être modifié. Cela pourrait réduire la pression sur le coussin d'assise, ce qui risquerait de perturber le fonctionnement du système OWS.

Volvo recommande que les enfants soient toujours correctement retenus dans des dispositifs de retenue adaptés, sur les sièges arrière. Ne supposez pas que le coussin gonflable frontal côté passager est désactivé, sauf si le témoin PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF est allumé. Vérifiez que le dispositif de retenue pour enfant est correctement installé. En cas de doute sur l'état du coussin gonflable frontal côté passager, installez le dispositif de retenue pour enfant sur le siège arrière.

The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate) the passenger's side front airbag in the event of a collision anytime the system senses that a person of adult size is sitting properly in the front passenger's seat. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will be off and remain off.

Si une personne de taille adulte est assise sur le siège passager avant, mais que le témoin PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF est allumé, il est possible que la personne ne soit pas assise correctement. Si c'est le cas :

• Turn the vehicle off and ask the person to place the backrest in an upright position.
• Have the person sit upright in the seat, centered on the seat cushion, with the person's legs comfortably extended.
• Restart the vehicle and have the person remain in this position for about two minutes. This will allow the system to detect that person and enable the passenger's frontal airbag.
• If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp remains on even after this, the person should be advised to ride in the rear seat.

Cela indique une limitation de la classification du système OWS. Cela n'indique pas un dysfonctionnement du système OWS.

Modifications

If you are considering modifying your vehicle in any way to accommodate a disability, for example by altering or adapting the driver's or front passenger's seat(s) and/or airbag systems, please contact Volvo at:

• 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.
• La ceinture de sécurité ne doit jamais être enroulée autour d'un objet placé sur le siège passager avant. Cela peut gêner le fonctionnement du système OWS.
• 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.

• Tenez compte des points suivants concernant le système OWS. Le non-respect de ces instructions peut nuire au fonctionnement du système et entraîner des blessures graves pour l'occupant du siège passager avant.
• 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.
