Sensore di peso

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.

Spia del sensore di peso (OWS)

Disattivazione dell'airbag laterale anteriore lato passeggero

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).

L'OWS disattiva (non gonfia) l'airbag laterale anteriore lato passeggero quando:

• 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,
• il sistema rileva la presenza di un bambino piccolo su un seggiolino rialzato,
• un bambino o una persona di bassa statura occupa il sedile anteriore lato passeggero.

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.

Tuttavia, se il sistema rileva un guasto:

• La spia OWS rimarrà accesa
• The SRS warning light will come on and stay on and a text message will be displayed.

• Non tentare mai di aprire, rimuovere o riparare alcun componente del sistema OWS. Ciò potrebbe causare un malfunzionamento del sistema. La manutenzione o le riparazioni devono essere eseguite esclusivamente da un tecnico di assistenza Volvo addestrato e qualificato.
• Il sedile anteriore lato passeggero non deve essere modificato in alcun modo. Ciò potrebbe ridurre la pressione sul cuscino del sedile, che potrebbe interferire con il funzionamento del sistema OWS.

Volvo raccomanda che i bambini siano sempre adeguatamente trattenuti con sistemi di ritenuta per bambini idonei sui sedili posteriori. Non presumere che l'airbag anteriore lato passeggero sia disattivato se la spia PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF non è accesa. Verificare che il sistema di ritenuta per bambini sia installato correttamente. In caso di dubbi sullo stato dell'airbag anteriore lato passeggero, spostare il sistema di ritenuta per bambini sul sedile posteriore.

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.

Se una persona di statura adulta è seduta sul sedile anteriore lato passeggero ma la spia PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF è accesa, è possibile che la persona non sia seduta correttamente. In tal caso:

• 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.

Ciò indica limitazioni nella classificazione dell'OWS. Non indica un malfunzionamento dell'OWS.

• 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 cintura di sicurezza non deve mai essere avvolta attorno a un oggetto sul sedile anteriore lato passeggero. Ciò potrebbe interferire con il funzionamento del sistema 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.

• Tenere presenti le seguenti indicazioni relative al sistema OWS. La mancata osservanza di queste istruzioni potrebbe compromettere il funzionamento del sistema e causare gravi lesioni all'occupante del sedile anteriore lato passeggero.
• 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.
