Volvo Concern for Safety

Safety is the cornerstone for Volvo. Our concern dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the
production line. Three-point seat belts, safety cages, and energy-absorbing impact zones were designed
into Volvo cars long before it was fashionable or required by government regulation. We will not
compromise our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safety features and to refine those
already in our cars. You can help. We would appreciate hearing your suggestions about improving
automobile safety. We also want to know if you ever have a safety concern with your car.

Occupant safety

The tips listed below are suggestions to help you cope with the ever changing traffic environment.

Never drink and drive.

If you are taking any medication, consult your physician about its potential effects on your driving

abilities.
