Recently purchased a 2008 XC90 AWD w/3.2 engine.
Noticed there are no little buttons/emblems along the roof signifying the curtain airbags. Always thought they were standard from 2007 on. I checked brochures and web sites and all say they were standard. Did Volvo just not mark them? The car was made in Sweden 03/2008.

    You have them, just not marked.

    My biggest gripe is with the US DOT requirement of stickers that are not removable, on the visors and sides of the dash. The DOT seems to think that stickers and embossed plastic is supposed to make car occupants safer? Does anyone read those bright yellow things, or is it just me that curses every time the light shines off of them?

    I guess there are those who look for the SIPS sticker on the side of the seat rail before getting into an 850, just to get confused by what SIPS stands for.

    Then there is the red light for the passenger seat belt, when no one is seated shotgun. Why? A wonderful night time distraction. Shouldn't the light come on only if the seat is occupied and something is wrong?

    Stupid DOT.
