1. REUSE OF INTERIOR EXPLOSIVE SAFETY PRODUCTS

Volvo Cars of North America, LLC does not endorse the re-use of interior safety components from salvaged or scrapped vehicles. The integrity of used parts cannot be guaranteed. It is impossible to determine the conditions to which these components may have been exposed. Undisclosed activation, violent disassembly, excessive heat or cold, high humidity, improper transport, and other adverse factors can all render safety components ineffective.

Concerned Products:

^ Safety belts, including pretensioners

^ Airbags, including front and side airbags for driver and front passenger, and inflatable curtains.

^ Crash sensors and igniters.

^ Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) components

2. SRS DISPOSAL

Pyrotechnic (explosive) safety components are hazardous materials. Disposal or scrapping of any hazardous material, not requested from the retailer via the Volvo Service Transaction Statement,1 must be made in accordance with all applicable Local, State and Federal Regulation.
